Analysis of the current state of mineral fertilizers transportation and justification of the choice of transport and logistics delivery systems involving inland waterway transport

Abstract

The article considers the current state of mineral fertilizers transportation in export-import and domestic directions when using various types of transport, including inland waterway transport. The introduction presents the results of the analysis of a number of literary sources and research works of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of transportation of mineral fertilizers. As a result of the research, it was determined that it is necessary to make optimal logistics decisions on the choice of transport and logistics systems, cargo transportation conditions, the development of rational routes with the redistribution of cargo flows from land to inland water transport, which in the future will have a positive impact on the process of organizing the delivery of mineral fertilizers to consumers. The relevance of the choice of transport and logistics systems for the delivery of mineral fertilizers by inland waterways to seaports in a promising direction is substantiated, the results of calculations based on the methodology for determining the cost of cargo delivery in comparison with alternative modes of transport and taking into account qualitative indicators are presented.

Keywords: mineral fertilizers, transport and logistics systems, optimal delivery routes, inland waterway transport, seaports
