Maritime Ports Logistics

摘要

Maritime transport occurs as a main carrier of international trade, so the development of this type of traffic is most connected with the situation on the world market. The main advantages of this form of transport are: lowest cost, the largest transport capacity, unlimited throughput waterways, mass transportation of goods over long distances, dominance in international transport and enormous concentration of capital. This form of transport is shown as more profitable and more cost-effective than all other forms of transportation. The fact is that we have the expansive development of container transport and container ports with growing turnover year in year out. Modern sea ports must be networked with business partners and all stakeholders in the port. Optimal functioning of the port system in the logistics chain means compliance of all important links (logistics operation, port agents…), on the other side it means quality for users at affordable costs, higher profitability and greater competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
