The history of oil transportation logistics: the experience of interaction between water and rail transport

Abstract

The paper reveals the historical aspects of the use of unique schemes for the delivery of oil cargo. The authors also consider the experience of modern transport and technological systems for oil transportation, developed by the expansion of logistics tools and principles of logistic. The study of schemes for the transportation of petroleum products in polymodal transport systems in a historical context gives the idea of the uniqueness of certain methods of cargo delivery. The modern development of logistics, technologies and infrastructure in the supply of oil and cargoes demonstrate a completely different level of industrial and environmental safety.
