Multimodal transportations plays a huge role in global economy. A lot of manufactures require different components, located in different remote sectors. In order not to discontinue production processes, multimodal transportation is used. Especially, the war influenced on the whole multimodal transportation system in Ukraine. Ports, harbors and sea ports stopped it’s further operation. The main role was fallen on road transportation. A plenty of airports were totally destroyed, the most of main harbor became in occupation, it’s further operation is impossible until the full victory of Ukraine. The road transportation became as the save link for supply chains and further economy operating. The one of the main problems in this situation is choosing of the optimal way and best-suited carrier for sequel carriage. The truck corporations continue cooperating with the airline agents, but the basic hubs of them were moved to the neighbor countries, it can appear new questions for optimization the delivery. Such factor as price, quality of the services, distance and time always plays a huge role in supply chains. The main aim of the transport company and its staff during multimodal transportation is to provide the delivery of goods, that were ordered by the manufacture just in time providing it’s safe and integrity. For optimization of all this factors according to the consignee’s preferences the expert evaluation methods are used in given research. There are lot of additional services attracted in such cases, such as: loading, unloading, repacking, changing the kind of packing (boxes, pallets, container repacking and other), in which sub-contractors take part. The union of all this processes mentioned above gives the opportunity to create the whole system of supplying the good from its seller to buyer. Every process is unique depending on the current situation and terms of delivery.
Intermodal transportation plays an important role in the global economy. Many manufacturing sectors require various components in remote locations. Intermodal transportation is used to ensure that production processes are not interrupted. The war particularly affected Ukraine's entire intermodal transportation system. Ports, shelters and piers stopped their activities. The main role shifted to road transportation. Many airports were completely destroyed and most of the major ports were occupied, making further operations impossible until Ukraine was completely victorious. Road transportation became the saving link for supply chains and further economic activity. One of the main problems in this situation is to choose the best mode of transportation and the most suitable carrier. Trucking companies continue to cooperate with air agencies, but the shift of their main hubs to neighboring countries may raise new questions about optimizing deliveries. Factors such as price, quality of service, distance and time will always play an important role in the supply chain. The main goal of transport companies and their staff in intermodal transportation is to deliver the goods ordered by manufacturers safely, completely and on time. In this article, all the risks, bottlenecks of the organization of multimodal transportation under martial law are researched.
