Tiivistelmä
The thesis explains why it makes sense to build a new terminal on the territory of Sillamae Port in Estonia. The theoretical part of the thesis explains the supply chain and its links, and provides a better understanding to which part of the chain the researched object belongs to. It also sets some basics for further research and gives a general and brief outline of a number of concepts of transit in connection with geopolitical and transport geography.
The aims of the thesis are: to study the theory of supply chain, to find out what can influence on the transit of fertilizers through Estonia, to collect information about Baltic Chemical Terminal Ltd's main competitors, to find out if the BCT Ltd has favorable conditions for future development, to find out to which extent the political relationship between Russia and Estonia are affecting the economy and transit in particular.
The methods that are used in the thesis are: collecting data through a number of resources such as - books, company documentation, company web pages, various internet resources. The collected data allowed the author to compel: a comparative table and analysis of Baltic Chemical Terminal with its main competitor and a SWOT analysis of The Baltic Chemical terminal.
The information gathered in the thesis makes it possible to state that the hypothesis is right and Baltic Chemical Terminal has a potential and competitive advantage for future development and growth, because Port of Sillamae is the nearest port between The European Union and The Russian federation border line. That makes it the best place for minimizing the transit costs of cargo transshipment. In addition Baltic Chemical Terminal will be following the latest technological developments, it will constantly improve its services, it will have the dvantages in timing, geography, in distance, service and the quality of service.
