The economic efficiency justification of multimodal container transportation

Abstract

The development of international cargo transportation has been relevant since the emergence of the international division of labor. Billions of tons of goods of various names, values and volumes are transported across the borders of the Russian Federation every year. The paper examines the system of international transportation of the Eurasian Economic Union, the integration of the transport system and the formation of a single transport space. The author analyzed the state of the international transport market and the level of containerization. The transport system is considered the "circulatory system" of the country’s economy, which makes it a key link in the implementation of economic reforms in the country. The transport industry has significant social significance, which also determines the specifics of the phased market transformations. The development of international multimodal container transportation is becoming a new trend in the development of the transport services market.
