International Container Multimodal Transport Coordination Problems

The International container transport appeared in the middle 1950s,while the international multi-transport appear in the 1970s, though there has been a time for the development, there are still some difficult problems in coordination. In the 1990s, with the logistics, the multi-transport was been attached importance to as the main part of the logistics. However, the multi-transport involves a system problem including the 'hard' part and the 'soft' part, and the difference of industry, economics and laws of different countries add more difficult to the develop of multi-transport.1. layout coordination of International multi-transport system2. Automatic coordination of International multi-transport system3. Technology equipment coordination of International multi-transport system4. Organization and operation coordination of International multi-transport system5. Information coordination of International multi-transport system6. Development coordination of International multi-transport system The dissertation has three main partsThe first part gives the development, history, present situation and problems , emphasizing the necessary condition to operate International Multi-transport, because the International Multi-transport must have six "ONE" and one "TWO", that is:1 .One MTO should organize and be responsibility for the whole transport 2.There is only one B/L in the whole transport 3.One guarantee slip in the whole transport 4.The MTO charges for the whole transport 5.Apply to custom only once 6.The shipper offers commission only once And the whole transport use at least two models of transport. As appearance of logistics, the International transport, as the main part of which, is becoming more and more important. And to some extent, we can regard the logistics as the highest level of transport. So the dissertation introduces the relation of the international multi-transport and logistics in the third section of the first chapter.The second chapter is the core part of the whole dissertation including seven sections.In the first section discusses the layout coordination of the international multi-transport. The layout of the international multi-transport is to solve the order of the development of the international multi-transport to achieve the coordination of the development of social economy.The second section is to discuss the capacity coordination of international multi-transport, in the macro angle, we may found that the layout coordinationis a research of matrix structure, while the capacity coordination is to research the transport capacity in the max unit time under the reasonable organization and design.The third section discusses the technology and equipment coordination. The technology and equipment includes the routes, ports, stations, the transport vehicles and the equipment of loading and unloading.The fourth section discusses the organization and operation of the international multi-transport system, which has two main problems of organization and operationThe fifth section discusses the coordination of the compensate system.The sixth section discusses the structure coordination. The structure is the proportion relation of the quality and quantity of all sub systems in the same things. The constitutions of the international multi-transport influent the whole system.The third chapter discusses the coordination and development of international multi-transport and the relationship with the logistics.The first section the difference between all kinds of transports and the demand of logistics, to arrive at regarding the international multi-transport as the main part of logistics.The second section emphasizes the demand and countermeasures which logistics puts on international multi-transport.The third section discusses how shipping company to attain more additional profit in the logistics era. The problem solved by the dissertation1. The problems of present international multi-transport2. Discus...
