Dear readers! We present to your attention the sixth issue of Logistics for 2024. On its pages, we summarize the results of the international exhibition of logistics, transport, warehouse equipment and Logistika Expo, which became the main premiere of this year. Our editorial staff took part in the event, as a result of which they made useful acquaintances and found new readers. In the latest issue, we continue the topic of automation and robotization in the industry.
Dear friends! We present to your attention the fifth issue of Logistics for 2024. Like you, our dear readers, we see an increasing trend of digitalization and automation of the logistics industry, and more and more authors are paying attention to it.
The article discusses the possibility of development and improvement of the transport infrastructure of the Arctic territories of Russia, in particular the Northern Sea Route (NSR), which has the potential to become an alternative to the existing intercontinental transport links between the countries of the Atlantic and Pacific basins. Being a natural integrating element of the whole Arctic, SMEs in their development should be based on a system of Arctic sea ports. Particular attention is paid to the seaport Sabetta (major infrastructure component "Yamal LNG" project).
Key words. Arctic transport system of the Russian Federation, the Northern Sea Route, transport infrastructure, seaport Sabetta, Novatek, Yamal, Northern latitudinal, integrated railway infrastructure, Arctic sea transport corridor.
The article considers by steps evolution of handling of general cargo in marine ports, beginning from usual separate handling of packaged piece cargoes to complex handling of containers. Nominal throughput capacity of each port element at each step of evolution and influence of capacity of separate element to whole port capacity are shown. Number of operations, which make sense to be put out of port at present stage of port development, is distinguished. Considered influence of some operations to port warehouse functioning and it’s throughput. Also role of information technologies in operation of advanced container terminal is underlined and described. Formula, substantiating usage of dry ports in marine container flows handling, is offered.
Key words. Container terminal, throughput capacity, out port terminal, dry ports, analyses, substantiating.
Brief up to date characteristics of Arctic transport system is presented, the most hot problems of transport provision in the Arctic regions of Russian Federation are determined, possible ways of improving the present situation are named.
Key words. Arctic, Northern Sea Route, transport provision, GDP (gross domestic product).
The article explores outsourcing in logistics market. Commercial companies frequently outsource logistics to specialized companies. At the same time, logistic companies themselves often opt for outsourcing, because it is not reasonable to own all the logistical assets. The article answers the question: what logistic companies do themselves, and what they outsource, and which way of doing business is more sustainable. The study will be of interest to top and middle management, researchers of economics, logistics and outsourcing.
Key words. Outsourcing, logistics, logistics operators, railroad, maritime, automobile cargo companies, competitive advantage.
The present article considers the phenomenon transport logistics from the perspective of normative analysis. The legal acts, constituting the basis of transport logistics, are structurally grouped and briefly described. The separate articles of the relating legislation are given as the examples. The availability of basic and sectoral binding rules that shape the normative environment of transport logistics is shown. In conclusion, the hypothesis on the formation of the «logistic law» is formed.
Key words. Logistics, transport logistics, legal frameworks, legal acts, regulation, formalization.

The design of logistics chain is strategically important issue for almost every company. There is a large variety of model formulations and solving algorithms, which vary in fundamental assumption, mathematical complexity, etc. In this paper classification of models of dislocation of logistic capacities is considered and the multicriteria model of optimum dislocation of warehouses in supply chains is offered.
Key words. Facility location, logistics networks, mathematical modelling, optimum dislocation of warehouses.
