    Digitization of processes of sea freight transportation
    (National Aviation University, 2020-06) Antonov, А.А.; Антонов, А.А.
    Up to 90% of world’s merchandise are carried by sea and the reason is that there are multiple benefits for foreign trade compared with air, rail or road transport. In an ever-growing globalized economy, the necessity for shipping bigger volumes of cargo in the less time possible is increasing. This has led to the construction of the so-called mega vessels, with the capacity to carry huge amounts of goods into thousands of shipping containers at once. This dynamic benefits the economy of scale and foreign trade, import, and export of all kinds of merchandise and raw materials. Shipping is present in the development of our daily lives, even if we are sometimes unaware of this fact. There are you four reasons why shipping is the favourite way of transport: ‒ It´s cheaper: Shipping industry has the most competitive freight costs, as is one of the most cost-effective ways of goods transportation through long distances. ‒ It´s the ideal way to move big volumes of cargo: Vessels are built to carry huge amounts of goods and raw materials in comparison with the capacity of airplanes or trucks. In addition, shipping allows the movement of liquids, gas and dangerous cargo. For this matter, there are certain regulations to keep the safety of the vessel, the crew, and the cargo. ‒ It´s safe: The percentages of losses caused by incidents during transport by sea have dropped until it lowest since a decade according to reports from Allianz. ‒ It’s eco-friendly: In comparison with the road transport, the maritime industry is less dangerous for the environment. The shipping industry is responsible for only 12% of the total of pollution generated by human economic activities. Digital transformation showed platform-operated companies such as UBER, Airbnb or Facebook to be digital disruptors. In many industries, we state that, in the blink of an eye, digital platforms dis-intermediate entire industries. We can see the same platform hype at clients from the transportation industry, where many players aspire to disrupt a market of a multi-billion industry worldwide. Forwarders as intermediaries were expected to become redundant and a bare platform model was expected to allow for direct interaction between carriers and shippers. Yet, despite numerous efforts, all platform wannabes have failed to generate game-changing effects and the market is as hyperfragmented as ever. Digital connectors may have the potential to reduce the need for freight forwarders to organize shipments for multiple parties manually. Direct interaction between shippers and carriers is technologically feasible with digital connectors and makes economic sense if a certain platform is able to bring together a critical mass of players in its realm. As a consequence, the intermediary function of freight forwarders is threatened by dis-intermediation and suggests that they are the predecessor of a multi-sided (industry) platform without transport liability. The purpose of bachelor thesis is justification of digital technology implementation project and project proposals development whose aims are increasing of quality of service and, consequently, competitiveness. The following scientist and researchers focused their efforts on developing digital technologies on transport: Konstantinos Gkoumas, Mitchell van Balen, Anastasios Tsakalidis, Ferenc Pekar [51], Dmitriev A.V [52], Plastunyak I. A. [53], Markus Fruth and Frank Teuteberg [54], Leonard Heilig, Eduardo Lalla-Ruiz, Stefan Voss [55]. In accordance with purpose of thesis was defined and formed the follow tasks: 1. Consider theoretical basics of international sea transport organization. 2. Breakdown of legal basics of freight forwarder functioning. 3. To study global modern marine technology trends. 4. Study current situation of transport market in Ukraine. 5. Describe general characteristic of freight forward company Navis. 6. Carry out analysis of the Navis business indicators. 7. To carry out of SWOT analysis of Navis company. 8. Explore the possibility of implementation the digital technology in the process of maritime transport organization. 9. Carry out calculation of the economic efficiency of the digital transformation. The object of research was the processes of sea transport organization, the impacts on this process and the ways to improve customer service. During the performance of the thesis was used general scientific methods: system analysis, induction and deduction, analyze and synthesis, expertise. During calculation of economic effectiveness of the project was used project performance indicators. The information sources during thesis research were: – regulations and legal documents; – scientific and methodological development whose connect with sea transport organization by freight forwarder; – statistics and financial report of Navis company, internal documents that describe company’s activity; – Internet sources.
