METHOD OF STANDARDIZATION OF TERMINAL AND NETWORK PRODUCTS IN MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

The article introduces the concept, development problems and options to improve the efficiency of international multimodal transportation (MMT). The main characteristics, functions, as well as organizational and logic structure of MMT are shown. We consider the basic stages of the formation of the terminal network, and the concept of shipping and forwarding activities. The principles and standards of documentation procedures in accordance with the basic rules are considered. The paper describes the terminal and network principle of cargo movement and its main characteristics, as well as the effectiveness of this principle. The comparative analysis of the ways of MMT implementation was conducted. The main advantages of these ways, as well as the advisability of separate ones, were shown. The principles of the classification of terminal and network products of the forwarder, as the main link in the organization of the system, were formulated. We have proposed some innovative modes of delivery allowing to increase the efficiency of the system and to ensure its reliability.
