Perspectives for the Development of Container Cargo Turnover in Supply Chains

Abstract

Objective: To modify the trends in the development of container cargo turnover in the conditions of increasing mobility and increasing the share of container cargo turnover on the railway network. Methods: Basic methods of analysis are used — statistical analysis of containerization targets, expert assessments of mechanisms for supporting and developing rail container transportation. Results: The current state of the container transportation market is described with the establishment of maximum indicators for the volume of exports, imports, transit and domestic traffic. The typology of the product line of container transportation of JSC “Russian Railways” is given. The competitive advantages of cargo transportation by road and sea modes of transport in comparison with rail are indicated. Measures have been developed to ensure the growth of container cargo turnover mobility on Russian railways, with a target setting of possible effects from their implementation in the areas of infrastructure development, expansion of the digital platform and stabilization of tariff policy. Practical importance: The results obtained should be used to optimize the technology of container transportation in the supply chain.
