Development of container transportation by rail in modern conditions

Currently, container transportation is one of the modern and convenient ways to deliver goods. This is the most progressive way to optimize transport processes. The use of containers in multimodal transportation of goods contributes to the inclusion of Russia in the transport network of the world, expands the possibilities of using the transit potential of our country, and increases the competitiveness of the domestic transport system. The main advantage of transportation of goods in containers is the possibility of their transfer to adjacent modes of transport without reloading the cargo. This is very important in the interaction of sea and rail transport, at the points of interaction between a port station and a seaport. The use of terminals when reloading containers from one mode of transport to another can also be more efficient compared to a number of other cargo flows. It would be relevant to study the change in the dynamics of container traffic transported by rail and sea in the Russian Federation, as the most promising in the context of the predicted growth of post-pandemic world trade. The result of the article was an analysis of the dynamics of container turnover over several years, and graphs were drawn up of changes in the volume of container transportation in TEU by rail and sea transport. Used public access materials and official sites, research by various scientists.
