Container shipment has promoted the development of intermodal connections with the use of different vehicles. The activity of freight forwarding companies (FFC) is aimed at improving container transportation of export and import cargoes to the clients, which is possible due to improving motor transportation of goods in containers. The major limitation of FFC activity is their specializing in one direction only — export or import. In import, container delivery expenses of the client depend upon the time of container shipping from the port. The average penalty makes up $10 to $25 per TEU daily.
The paper suggests an export and import scheme of container deliveries by linear operators to FFC clients. The scheme allows shortening the term of container equipment exploitation and reducing linear operators’ demurrage and detention expenses due to the suggested algorithm of FFC search of export freight for their returning auto transport.
The economic indicator of improving the export and import scheme of container shipment was received while arranging cargo delivery from Kyiv at a price of $ 650 to $ 750 per vehicle. Every day Odessa port ships 10 to 20 containers with import goods, and 5 to 10 of them can be shipped with export goods on their way back so that the average profit beyond the driver’s wages could make up approximately $ 1500 to $ 2500 per day.
