Justification of the best option for infrastructure support of the water transport terminal

The article presents the results of testing the economic and mathematical model for determining the optimal composition of the infrastructure of the river port terminal. The basic conditions and requirements for the economic and mathematical model are formulated, various methodological approaches to solving the problem are considered. On the basis of the author's model, calculations were made and the results were presented for a number of possible options for technical equipment and technology for transshipment work in river ports. The dependence of various indicators (capital investments, operating costs, cost of transshipment work) on the used version of technology and equipment, as well as the cargo turnover mastered at the terminal, is shown. Conclusions were drawn on the most preferable options for organizing the operation of port terminals depending on the various existing and promising volumes of cargo processing.
