Integration of Inland Waterway Transport in the Supply Chains of Siberian Region

Abstract

AbstractThe issues of the state of inland water transport in Siberia are considered. Projects for development of mineral resources are inextricably linked with river transport. However, inland waterway transport, taking a direct part in the creation of transport infrastructure of land transport, has created competitors in the form of road transport and the railway. Currently, development of river transport is dependent on the emergence of large investment projects and approaches to transport support. The drive towards sustainability in the inland waterway transport sector has been very high lately. The shipping management practice has shown that sustainable development can be achieved through the creation of our own technological processes. A more productive approach is to determine the place of shipping company in the supply chain. The necessity of creating a supply chain, taking into account peculiarities of water transport infrastructure, in particular, waterways, is shown. The article identifies indicators of quality of transport and these indicators become a benchmark for inland water transport. The key task of organizing a transport and logistics system is inclusion of its supply chain and the same approach to assessing the effectiveness of all its links, including various modes of transport.KeywordsLogisticsIntegrationSupply chainSiberiaTransportWaterway
