Research of cargo seaports development in the Russian federation in the context of port basins

Seaports play a key role in the development of cargo turnover and international trade. About 60% of the Russian Federation foreign trade cargoes are handled in seaports. Improving the quality of seaports, which serve the increasing capacity of global freight traffic, is an important task for those countries, involved in the transportation of goods by sea. The article presents analyses of the development of stevedoring industry in Russia in the context of port basins. The statistical base covers a 16-year period. The research methods are statistical analysis and econometric modeling. The result of the study is an economic and geographical model of cargo transshipment in the Russian Federation, distributed over the sea basins. The model is built taking into account the geographical localization of certain types of cargoes, caused by the location of production facilities and peculiarities of logistics routes linking shippers and consignees. The model reflects the relationship between the development of the stevedoring industry and the regional economy. Based on the constructed model, conclusions about the presence of development prospects and constraints typical for each analyzed port were made. Among the limiting factors for the development of the stevedoring industry in Russia, the lack of rapid development of railway infrastructure and insufficient depth of channels in the waters of seaports are highlighted. Tools to overcome these problems have been proposed.
