Abstract

Currently, under the conditions of significant restrictions on cargo transportation, the Russian Railways holding company, in order to fulfill the state order, is assigned state and social tasks, namely servicing cities, social transportation, developing priority areas and a system for income accounting from the sale of complex products and services, as well as measures for the development of transport and logistics business. The transport and logistics business of the Russian Railways holding company provides comprehensive logistics services using its own infrastructure facilities, namely movables and real estate, the use of rolling stock and universal packaging, high-tech packaging and special equipment, the use of digital transformation solutions, synergy of transport and transport competencies. logistics services in key cargo-generating regions. Currently, the national transportation complex operates under conditions of significant restrictions, which at the same time create new opportunities with high volatility of the transport and logistics market. The key limitations for the development of transport and logistics business are logistics risks and barriers to import-export and transit transportation in the long term, reflecting the reduction in the resource base of transport and logistics services by 2030 year, a high probability of a shortage of throughput and carrying capacity of international transport corridors passing through the territory of the Russian Federation (mainly the routes of the East-West international transport corridors) with an increasing demand for integrated transport and logistics services. To create comprehensive transport infrastructure, the national network of infrastructure facilities is developing in accordance with the updated distribution of cargo flows, providing for growing needs in terms of transportation volumes and expanding the range of goods. The implementation of infrastructure projects planned until 2030 will make it possible to minimize restrictions on the throughput and carrying capacity of railway sections and create reserves for the growth of freight flows in the period until 2036. Thus, in order to increase the profitability of the transport and logistics business unit and in particular the structural unit - the East Siberian Directorate for the Management of the Terminal and Warehouse Complex of JSC Russian Railways, taking into account the above factors, it is proposed to analyze the features of loading and transporting coal in specialized open top containers in order to increase revenue from the sale of a complex of terminal and warehouse services and the effective use of cargo yards.
