Organization and implementation of multimodal transport and international shipping practices

Abstract

Osnovni problem istraživanja u ovom radu je analiza poslova i aktivnosti međunarodnog otpremnika u organizaciji i provedbi multimodalnog transporta. Sukladno definiranom problemu istraživanja u radu su obrađeni osnovni i specijalni poslovi otpremnika, odgovornost otpremnika i faze organizacije i provedbe multimodalnog transporta. Uz analizu fizičkog tijeka tereta u multimodalnom transportu, posebna pozornost u radu je posvećena dokumentacijskim tokovima, odnosno ispravama i dokumentima koji su prisutni u multimodalnom transportu. Faze organizacije i provedbe multimodalnog transporta ilustrirane su na praktičnom primjeru koji je dobiven u suradnji s tvrtkom CMA CGM. Iz navedenog primjera u praktičnom su smislu potvrđene sve teorijske determinante i specifičnosti uloge, poslova i odgovornosti otpremnika u realizaciji multimodalnog transporta.The main research problem in this paper is the analysis of the work and activities of an international shipper in the organization and implementation of multimodal transport. In accordance with the defined research problem, the basic and special tasks of the shipper, responsibility of the shipper and stages of organization and implementation of multimodal transport are covered in the paper. In addition to the analysis of the physical flow of cargo in multimodal transport, special attention in the work is devoted to documentation flows, i.e. documents and documents that are present in multimodal transport. The stages of organization and implementation of multimodal transport are illustrated on a practical example obtained in cooperation with the CMA CGM company. From the above example, all the theoretical determinants and specifics of the role, duties and responsibilities of the shipper in the implementation of multimodal transport have been confirmed in a practical sense
