Problems in the freight transportation market are considered: low solvency of customers, increase in the vehicle fleet and increased competition in the market, determination of tariffs for the transportation of goods based on the state of customers on idle cars, setting bonus tariffs in the same direction. The calculations and the sequence of actions for creating transport logistics are presented.

Морская отрасль является важнейшим звеном в международной торговле, так как морские суда представляют собой наиболее рентабельный способ доставки больших партий массовых грузов на значительные расстояния. Современная логистика перевозок массовых навалочных грузов идет по пути увеличения судовых партий и как следствие, за счет экономии издержек на эффекте масштаба последние годы произошел существенный рост размеров универсальных судов. На универсальных судах, за счет роста торговли продовольствием и сужения фрахтового рынка, в последние годы стали активно перевозиться зерновые навалочные грузы. Известно, что смещение навалочных грузов было связано с большими рисками опрокидывания от потери остойчивости для балкеров, где от потери остойчивости происходит более 46 процентов всех серьезных аварийных случаев. Проблема обеспечения остойчивости становится еще более актуальной при перевозке зерновых навалочных грузов, имеющих усадку примерно в два процента от своего объема, за счет чего во время рейса всегда образуются пустоты в трюмах между свободной поверхностью груза и палубой. Предполагается, что при максимально возможном смещении зерна его свободная поверхность образует с горизонталью углы в 15 и 25 градусов для заполненных и соответственно незаполненных отсеков. Для универсальных судов риски потери остойчивости от смещения груза при перевозках зерна, за счет масштабного эффекта большой удельной погрузочной кубатуры трюмов и высоты борта возрастают многократно.The Maritime industry is an important link in international trade because sea vessels are the most cost-effective way to deliver large quantities of bulk cargo over long distances. Modern transportation of cargo in bulk is on the path of increasing of shiploads and as a result, due to effective on scale effect, there has been a significant increase in the size of universal vessels in recent years. Grain bulk cargo has been actively transported on universal vessels in recent years due to the growth of food trade and the segmentation of the freight market. It is known fact that the displacement of bulk cargo in the vessel holds was associated with high risks of overturning from loss of stability for bulk carriers. More than 46 percent of all serious accidents occur from loss of stability. The problem of ensuring stability becomes even more urgent when transporting grain bulk cargo, which has a shrinkage of about two percent of its volume, which is a reason of free surface between the cargo and the deck inside of vessel holds. It is assumed that at the maximum possible displacement of the grain, its free surface forms angles of 15 and 25 degrees with the horizontal for filled and unfilled compartments, respectively. For multipurpose universal vessels, the risks of loss of stability during grain transportation due to cargo displacement and because of the large-scale effect of the large loading cubic capacity of the holds and the height of the side, increase many times.

Taking the opportunity of bridgehead strategy of Chinese central government, Kunming began constructing new airport, the fourth hub airport open to ASEAN and the Eurasia continents. The new international airport is expected to come into service at the beginning of 2012. The successful construction of an airport with modern equipment, however, does not indicate a successful operation. Among questions related to this general issue, a full understanding of the competition environment at Kunming new airport is one of the significant cases for the development of air freight. This paper firstly introduces Porter Five Force model in order to reveal how the competition environment demonstrates at Kunming airport. Then statistics of air throughput in recent three years is shown to certify the conclusion from Porter Five Force model analysis and thereafter follow reasons for the status. Suggestions are posed for how to face up these competitions at the end of this paper.
