LOGISTIC OPERATOR - FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR IN RATIONAL PRODUCTION OF SERVICES IN MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT

The aim of multimodal transport is to link together different forms of traffic in the most effective way. One of the key elements for a rational function of a multimodal transport is the selection of a multimodal transport operator. This article considers the role of the logistics operator as a fundamental factor in the rational production of services in multimodal transport. The authors stress that the tasks of this position require constant adaptation to the changing requirements of logistic demand; the tasks require more knowledge, expertise, creativity, and quality information. The authors outline the existing and potential traffic currents in the Republic of Slovenia, noting the strategies that could be used to develop multimodal transport. They state that the main task of the Republic of Slovenia is to integrate into the European flows of transportation as soon as possible, engage in a reciprocal cooperation by liberalization of the flow of commodities and services, and create conditions for the inflow of foreign capital. The logistics operator has a primary role in the basic elements of this approach.
