Assessment of the Current State of the Material and Technical Base of Seaports of the Krasnodar Region in the Field of Passenger Transportation

Abstract

The purposeis to analyze the spatial distribution of operators of sea passenger terminals of the Krasnodar region and the indicators of their logistics base. Materials and methods: The source material for this study is information from the Russian Federation's 2018 Maritime Ports Registry, which contains information about the logistics base of sea terminal operators within a separate seaport. The methods of modeling, system, statistical and comparative analysis, computer processing and visualization of spatial data are applied. Results and discussion: Within the boundaries of the study area, passenger transport is carried out by 12 operators using 24 offshore passenger terminals. The highest values of the technical group of indicators, in terms of spatial distribution are concentrated in the areas of seaports of Sochi and Novorossiysk. The distribution of production indicators is primarily due to the specifics of the activities of passenger terminal operators. The structure of organizationally – legal forms of operators of sea passenger terminals, includes 2 companies, 7 limited liability companies, 2 branches of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Rosmorport and 1 individual entrepreneur. Conclusion: Currently, the logistics base of seaports in the field of passenger transport is represented by 24 terminals located in 5 ports of the Krasnodar region. The operators of passenger terminals are mainly private companies organized in the form of limited liability companies and public companies. The spatial distribution of passenger terminal capacity is determined by the direction of operators.
