Challenges of innovative development of river transport in the EU and Ukraine

Abstract

The development of the logistics capabilities of Ukrainian river transport enterprises is the main factor ensuring their competitiveness and long-term success. The post-war reconstruction of the national economy of Ukraine will require systematic logistics support, which should be based not only on transportation by classic modes of transport, but will also require the search for new cost-effective transportation. The proposal is to revive Ukrainian river transport by developing the river transportation component on the basis of existing logistics companies. Analysis of global and European domestic transportation confirms the relevance of this direction in Europe and the world, which is of particular importance, taking into account the Euro-Atlantic integration processes of Ukraine.

Розвиток логістичних можливостей підприємств річкового транспорту України є головним чинником, що забезпечує їх конкурентоспроможність та довгостроковий успіх. Повоєнна відбудова національної економіки України буде вимагати системного логістичного забезпечення, яке повинне базуватись не тільки на перевезеннях класичними видами транспорту, але й вимагатиме пошуку новітніх економічно ефективних перевезень. Пропозицією є відродження річкового транспорту України, шляхом розвитку складової річкових перевезень на базі існуючих логістичних компаній. Аналіз світових та європейських внутрішніх перевезень,підтверджує актуальність цього напрямку у Європі та світі, що має особливе значення, враховуючи Євроатлантичні інтеграційні процеси України.
