INNOVATIONS IN CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION, A ROLE IN MODERN LOGISTICS

Abstract

Container transportation plays an important role in modern logistics, ensuring the efficiency and safety of cargo transportation. There is a high increase in the level of containerization in Russia, but it is lower than in other countries. The development of container transportation contributes to strengthening the logistics infrastructure and increasing the competitiveness of rail transport.

This article analyzes the current state and prospects for the development of container transportation in Russia. The analysis is based on statistical data, the study of new technologies and experiments. The growth of container traffic in Russia is associated with a recovery in demand for imported goods, infrastructure development and optimization of railway routes. The analyst predicts that the positive dynamics will lead to an increase in container traffic to 10 million tons. TEF by 2030.

Innovations in the field of container transportation, such as flexitank VL-Lagistic, open tap and bulk containers, and the Last Mile service are considered. The growth of container trains with cars at the Doskino terminal has been studied. The introduction of new technologies will improve the efficiency of container transportation, strengthen Russia's position in the global market and integrate into global logistics networks.

The number of loaded containers sent in all types of messages is growing significantly. This growth is associated with the active development of economic sectors that contribute not only to export-import operations, but also to the development of the domestic market. According to statistics, cargoes such as chemicals and soda have become the most transported in containers, while oil and petroleum products, as well as construction materials, are the least likely to be containerized.

The Moscow Dorga Railway has a well-developed infrastructure, which makes it possible to efficiently handle large volumes of cargo. Moscow, being the largest economic and industrial center, generates demand for container transportation, and it is also an important transit corridor for cargo. The Far Eastern Railway is located closer to the main seaports, therefore it has significant competitive advantages in the field of international cargo transportation. Today, there are 147 open for operations with large-capacity containers. The largest Russian transport and logistics company is Fesco.
