Dear readers! We present to your attention the fourth issue of the LOGISTICS journal. By tradition, in the April issue we summarize the results of TransRussia | SkladTech 2025. This year, the exhibition attracted a record number of exhibitors and over 30,000 visitors. Under the heading "non-economic activity", we are posting an interesting article by A.V. Efimov on the prospects for the development of non-primary non-energy exports from Russia to Vietnam.
Annotation. The article provides an overview of the current state of Russian grain export logistics and assesses the prospects for its development using river transport. The author estimated the possible volumes of grain transportation by inland waterways and calculated the cost effectiveness of such transportation compared to the transportation routes currently used.
Key words. Grain export, internal waterways, river infrastructure, internal waterways fleet.
Annotation. The article analyzes foreign and domestic experience in applying a multi-agent approach to the development of a passenger complex. An assessment is made of changes in the volume of passenger work, taking into account the development of the tourism industry by region, including transportation in the direction of the Crimean Peninsula. The state of the passenger transportation market and the logistics infrastructure of the Russian Railways passenger complex are analyzed.
Annotation. The study examines groups of technological and socio-economic effects from the construction of high-speed highways. Based on the analysis, the effects associated with, among other things, the additional passage of freight trains on freight-intensive routes are examined.
Key words. Railway transport, foreign experience, effect, freight flow, throughput capacity.
Annotation. The transportation of perishable goods is one of the most challenging tasks for mathematical modeling. In such problems, the priority is clarity in planning shipments and delivering the cargo, with key variables being time constraints. Every analyst working on such models must have experience and knowledge of real-world conditions – and, most importantly, the ability to present the solution results as actionable recommendations in a format understandable to the client.
Annotation. The article discusses technological and business processes in the organization of rail and sea transportation, as well as changes in the organization of transport production of port railways. Management of interacting modes of transport has a greater opportunity to increase the organizational level of production. However, elasticity, the ability to spatio-temporal transformations of the means of production in the course of production itself, also has its limits.
Annotation. The article analyzes the state and prospects for the development of logistics in Islamic Republic Iran within framework of international transport corridors North – South taking into account the geographical position of the state in conditions of geopolitical instability. In this regard, the transport and logistics capabilities of Iran in the region for the expansion of economic relations of the states of the Caspian Sea, the EAEU, Asia are presented.
Key words. Iran, logistic, North – South international transport corridor.
Annotation. This article examines the specifics of cargo exports from the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and the role of the Northern Sea Route as a transport artery. The experience of using logistics schemes for the removal of goods from the Arctic within the framework of existing projects is analyzed and the importance of developing mineral resource development projects in the modern realities of geopolitical tension is determined.
Annotation. The article is of a review nature and is devoted to the analysis of modern research, problems and prospects for the development of rail transportation of consolidated cargo in the context of growing demand for small-lot deliveries. A new technology for organizing consolidated rail transportation based on the concept of carpooling is analyzed, which proposes to exclude unnecessary links from the chain through intelligent systems.
Key words. Consolidated transportation, rail transport, digital technologies, carpooling, logistics platform, logistics intermediary.
Annotation. The article is devoted to analyzing the current state and prospects for the development of the logistics infrastructure of the Eastern Polygon. The main directions of the third modernization phase are covered. Special attention is given to the role of public-private partnerships and international cooperation for the successful implementation of the tasks. Innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability of transportation processes are also examined.
Annotation. Since the beginning of 2022, after the sanctions imposed by the European Union and the United States against Russia, there has been a collapse in international trade. Enterprises were forced to reorient themselves towards Asian markets for exports. Since the majority of companies sending large batches of products use the railway, the freight flow at many polygons of JSC «Russian Railways» was disrupted.
