Development of Transport and Technological Process Options' Concept for Goods Delivery with Participation of Maritime Transport

The object of research is the transport and technological process of cargo delivery with the participation of sea transport. One of the reasons for the ineffective delivery of goods using sea transport is the lack of a theoretical basis for an integrated review of the transport and technological delivery process within the entire delivery system. This accordingly affects the practical implementation of the delivery of goods. The traditional approach involves consideration of the transport and technological process within one of the delivery areas and relies on the appropriate transport and technological system. The modern transport market and the technological base of port terminals allow to vary and combine transport technologies at various sections of cargo delivery. This determines the corresponding multivariance of the transport and technological process with its integral consideration. This approach is the ideological basis of this study.Two levels of consideration of the transport and technological process are established. The first is the level of individual participants in the cargo delivery process (for example; a port terminal; a sea carrier). The second is the level of the entire delivery system from the point of departure to the place of transfer of responsibility for the two parties to the foreign trade contract. The level of consideration of the transport and technological process determines the controllability of this process. In its integral consideration; the transport and technological process acts as a control object for the delivery organizer / cargo owner. A correspondence has been established between transport-technological systems and the transport-technological delivery process; according to which the latter can use a combination of several transport-technological systems as the technological basis. The main options of the transport and technological delivery process (for example; export) with the participation of sea transport by varying various transport and technological systems at different delivery sites are determined. The boundaries of variation by the transport and technological delivery process depending on the basis of delivery are justified.The results of this research provide an opportunity to increase the efficiency of transport support of foreign trade contracts due to the integrated consideration of various technologies within a single delivery system. Further development of these results is focused on optimizing the parameters of the delivery process in accordance with a given criterion and limiting conditions
