Impact analysis of the groupage cargo delivery technology from China to Western Siberia by various modes of transport

Abstract

   Currently, there are a number of problems with logistics. Breaking supply chains with high inflation in the world is inevitable. The growth of tension requires considering several options for the transportation of goods at once and assessing not only financial indicators that affect the final cost of the product and, consequently, its attractiveness for the consumer, but also the risks of blocking trade routes. Therefore, the tasks of developing routes for the transportation of goods from China to the Russian Federation are relevant today.
   The article deals with the problems of transportation of groupage consignments from China to Western Siberia. An analysis of the existing routes for the delivery of products was carried out in order to identify patterns in the choice of the type of transport at each technological stage. Multimodal ways of organizing transportation, including the interaction of three types of transport: road, sea and rail, are considered. The main reference points of the studied routes are the major cities of China and the Russian Federation (Shanghai, Vladivostok, Novorossiysk, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Novosibirsk), seaports (Shanghai, Vladivostok, St. Petersburg, Novorossiysk) and railway stations (Vladivostok-Perevalka, Kleschikha, Moscow-Tovarnaya).
   The technological operations performed in the implementation of the supply chains of products for various delivery options are analyzed. Both the general principles of organizing such transportations and their distinctive features are revealed.
   Measures are proposed to increase the competitiveness and profitability of the Russian Railways company in the segment of groupage cargo transportation from China to Western Siberia.
