Efficiency of projects for the organization of passenger transportation by water transport

Abstract

The practice of substantiating projects for organizing passenger transportation both in Russia and abroad shows that these projects are unprofitable or unprofitable in terms of financial results. As a rule, due to their social significance, such projects do not allow setting prices for the finished product, ensuring that the received income exceeds the amount of invested funds. At the same time, both in Russia and abroad, projects for organizing passenger transportation are necessary, since their implementation ensures mobility, transport accessibility and other components that characterize the high quality of life of people. Therefore, when justifying projects for organizing passenger transportation, the emphasis in terms of their efficiency is most often shifted from determining direct effects (additional income, cost savings, profit) to obtaining indirect effects, the essence of which boils down to monetizing those results of projects that do not fall into the sphere of direct effects. those. in monetary terms, individual benefits of projects, reflecting various benefits for external and internal project participants, future owners of its results and other stakeholders, called stakeholders in project management. Depending on the circle of persons interested in the project, the attitude of state authorities also depends, without whose financial participation it is practically impossible to implement any project on the organization of passenger transportation today. The article discusses an approach to substantiating the effectiveness of projects for organizing passenger transportation in water transport, focused on identifying indirect effects, with specific examples showing the possible ranges of calculated effects in relation to the practice of water passenger transport enterprises.
