OPTIMIZATION OF FREIGHT FORWARDING SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT CORRIDORS

Abstract

With the modern development of the economy and foreign economic relations, a new approach to cargo flows, their distribution and, directly, to the development of transport is required. At the current stage of foreign trade growth, the classic approach of the logistics system in the medium and long term requires a deep and qualitative revision, this is necessary for long-term development, although this approach will still work for the current period and in the near future. Of course, we need to use new technologies to reach goals of optimization all freight forwarding system and international transport corridors. The new projects same as optimization need investments because corridor routes have a different direction vector depending on the profitability of national economies and companies, but their formation is based on a support network of transport and logistics centers in key nodes (points) of consolidation and distribution of cargo flows, and favorable conditions are created for investment projects. Due to the geographical location of Kazakhstan, the main transport routes connecting the States of the Asian and European continents pass through its territory and cargo transportation in interstate communication of the countries of the near and far abroad. They are carried out by rail and road transport in almost all main directions of the land road network. According to the UN classification, Kazakhstan, along with Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, is currently included in the transcontinental countries of interstate land communication. Therefore, it is very important for Kazakhstan to use its transit position to boost the economy and be a full-fledged participant in the global transport system.
