Tiivistelmä
Globalization and current world trade are continuously expanding as well as demands for sustainable, transparent and efficient logistics processes. Some transportation routes are not yet present which is an enormous constraint in businesses. BASAMRO Shipping B.V., a Rotterdam based logistics company, has faced the same problem with deliveries to a city in the northern part of Russia called Murmansk. The goal was to find an optimal way to transport goods taking into account the main logistics priorities: money, lead-times, cargo safety and environmental impacts of the transportation.
In order to reach the objective, it was necessary to collect data of various logistics processes and understand them. Interviews and sent quotations helped to gather information and ensure its realism, reliability, so the final result can be implemented by BASAMRO easily and efficiently enough.
Achieved results of the study involve wide knowledge of some customs clearance procedures, existing legislations, description of different transportation modes and their influence on the environment, received quotations’ answers from different transportation companies with prices and lead-times. By analysing that information, four possible routes from Rotterdam to Murmansk were chosen, discussed and the most adequate one was favoured.
By and later, further development was suggested and completely new information was found for BASAMRO which can give an immediate business growth for the company.
