Optimization of rail transport from China to the Russian Federation through platform solutions for interaction between transportation participants
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to find solutions for optimizing containerized railway cargo transportation from China to the Russian Federation, given the challenges that have arisen throughout 2024. The objectives of the article include analyzing the market share of Chinese suppliers, assessing the volume of containerized railway transportation between the two countries, examining the current railway infrastructure, and developing specific solutions to reduce transit times and improve delivery predictability. The results of this article can be of practical use to Russian importers, carriers, and freight forwarders, providing insights into the current state of railway transportation and enabling them to develop their own solutions for cargo transportation.
