Механизмы и инструменты управления развитием логистической инфраструктуры морских портов Каспийского региона

Abstract

Development of the logistics infrastructure of the seaports in the Caspian region is conditioned by their geographical location in the south of Russia and by high transit potential on the Trans-Caspian route of the international transport corridor North-South. The lack of inter-organizational coordination, as well as the limited investment opportunities of sea terminal operators do not allow to compete with the transnational transport and logistics companies engaged in foreign trade transportation along the vectors “West-East” and “North-South”. Increasing the competitiveness of the seaport logistics operators in the Caspian region can be possible as a result of the development of a mechanism that coordinates the interaction of transport and logistics services market entities and the state based on the centralization of logistics infrastructure development management functions at the macro-, meso- and micro levels. The subjects of management are defined: a single operator at the federal level, an information and analytical center of the port special economic zone of the Astrakhan region at the regional level and a logistics coordinator as a structural subdivision of a Single operator in seaports. Management technologies and tools are presented, management objects at each level are specified. The business process “management of the centered logistics system of the seaport” has been developed to coordinate interactions with the allocation of the subprocess “management of logistics infrastructure development projects”, which allows regulating the sequence and content of subprocesses, implementation tools, incoming and outgoing information flows. The operation of the interaction mechanisms between the entities managing the development of the seaport logistics infrastructure in the Caspian region is illustrated.
