Abstract

The object of research is the process of transformation of river ports into the nodal objects of the country's logistics system. One of the most problematic places for the operation of river ports is the limited demand for river transport, which leads to their low investment attractiveness. It is substantiated that the elimination of these problems is possible due to the expansion of a complex of highly specialized logistics services that should be provided by river ports and fulfillment of standard functions of a typical logistics center. It seems that such decisions will determine the investment attractiveness of river ports and increase the demand for their services. Consideration of river ports from the positions of one of the main objects of the logistical system of the country at the national and regional level presupposes the following decisions:

1. Development of feeder container lines in the context of consistent development of various modes of transport.

2. Increase of volumes of cargo handling at container terminals in the context of ensuring the growth of the value added of goods in the territory of Ukraine.

3. Development of infrastructure maintenance of river ports as a necessary component of the future transformation of river ports into multifunctional logistics centers.

4. Innovative development of logistics systems/river clusters, based on the development of new river transport routes and the central location of river ports.

5. Realization of river ports of competitive advantages, activated by logistics of cluster formations.
