Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom has entered the ranks of the top 14 transport operators among BRICS countries, according to its director general, Alexey Likhachev.
Likhachev said the company's next objective is to break into the top five transport operators within the bloc, a goal it intends to pursue through the further development of international marine logistics.
Rosatom has increasingly positioned itself as a logistics player in recent years, largely through its role in developing shipping routes and infrastructure along the Northern Sea Route, where the corporation manages nuclear-powered icebreakers that support year-round navigation in Arctic waters.
Growing role in BRICS trade
The BRICS grouping, originally Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa and since expanded to include additional members, has placed growing emphasis on trade and logistics cooperation among its members as part of broader efforts to diversify supply chains and transport corridors.
Likhachev did not provide further details on the timeline or specific steps planned to reach the top-five ranking. Rosatom's core business remains nuclear power generation and nuclear technology, but the corporation has expanded over the past decade into adjacent sectors including shipping, infrastructure and logistics.
