Choosing a Scheme for the Delivery of Foreign Trade Cargo

Abstract

The article studies various options for routes of export-import transportation through seaports and through land border crossings. A model of coal export through the seaports of the Russian Federation is proposed. At the same time, there may be options for the schemes of mutual arrangement of links in the transportation chain through the sea (river) ports of Russia, the Commonwealth of Nations and the Baltic states. One of the most important problems associated with the export of coal is the analysis of the economic aspects of its passage through seaports. It is note that the management of the delivery of export coal can be effective only if there is complete information about the state of the elements of the system for the delivery of foreign trade goods. The delivery of coal by rail, its transhipment to sea vessels and further transportation by sea can be consider as a complex of parallel processes occurring and interacting with each other, for which the theory of interacting processes can be applies.
