International transportation of cargo: an overview
Globalization of industries International, interregional and intercontinental trade growth Harder competition for the new markets Faster movement of capital
Growing need of maximum reliable “door-to-door” delivery of cargo in shortest time and for minimum costs
Search for optimal delivery routes

Cargo transportation via the International transport corridors going through Russia
Russia: three Pan-European transport corridors (#1, #2, and #9) Main transit directions:
- West-East (Transsiberian mainline)- North-South (the Caspian sea – the Persian Gulf –
South/South-East Asia)
Percentage of cargo volumes transported via the International transport corridors in 2006
Transsiberian mainline: 55% Russian section of Corridor #9: 31% Russian section of Corridor #2: 8% Russian section of Corridor “North-South”: 6%
