Abstract
The authors consider the prospects for the development of coal industry and its export potential. The facts of the development of mass transportation of coal by rail in the direction of port transport hubs are given. There is an acute problem of finding new supply channels. In these conditions, it is proposed to start the implementation of a large-scale project for the development of a multimodal transport scheme for the export of coal using river transport. During the 140-day navigation period along the rivers of the Amur Basin in the summer months, a large volume of export coal can be transported to the Far Eastern seaports. Three logistic schemes are proposed and a list of individual subprojects for the development of transport infrastructure for the needs of this project for the transportation of coal from Kuzbass, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Buryatia and Yakutia is given. It is proposed to organize transshipment from railway to river transport in three hubs: Sretensk, Dzhalinda and Verkhnezeisk. Each logistic scheme will be focused on a certain volume of transportation and has its own advantages and disadvantages. The authors invite the transport community to actively discuss this format of transportation due to the urgent need to find ways to develop cargo flows. Each of the three logistic schemes can be considered separately or in combination with others.
Highlights
According to analytical data [1], the world coal market is divided into three unequal parts
If we evaluate the plans of the domestic coal industry in general, they can be characterized as positive
Historical aspect.As it is mentioned above, the Amur waterway had a great influence on the development of the Russian Far East in the period from the 17th to the 20th centuries. It was on the shores of the Shilka, Argun and Amur Rivers where the borders of Russia were born, the location of which was the subject of the first treaties with imperial China
Summary
According to analytical data [1], the world coal market is divided into three unequal parts. In Southeast Asia coal kept its leading position in energy sector, but the growth in consumption in this market could not compensate the overall decline in demand in global market. The strategy provides the export of coal according to a conservative logistics scheme through the existing sea basins with the development of the carrying and processing capacities of the railway and port infrastructure. The estimated reserves of coal on our planet are several times larger than the reserves of oil, the production peak of which, according to some estimates, has already passed. In these conditions, due attention is being paid to dry cargo and the development of interaction between water (sea and river) and railway transport
