The Role of Freight Forwarder in Physical Distribution of Goods

Fizička distribucija treba omogućiti nesmetano odvijanje robnih tokova uz minimalne logističke troškove. Obuhvaća logističke procese vezane uz kretanje roba od proizvođača do isporuke krajnjim korisnicima. Važnu ulogu u tome ima špediter, koji svojim stručnim znanjem i iskustvom organizira otpremu i dopremu roba u skladu sa zahtjevima svih sudionika u transportnom lancu. Globalizacija i ekonomske promjene utječu na sve segmente gospodarstva, pa tako i na špeditere. Špediteri su primorani proširiti spektar svojih usluga kako bi ostali konkuretni na tržištu. Cilj rada je prikazati osnovna obilježja međunarodne špedicije odnosno sveobuhvatno obraditi pojam špeditera i njegovu ulogu u fizičkoj distribuciji robe, te ukazati da će se špediteri sve intenzivnije uključivati u obavljanje šireg spektra logističkih aktivnosti.Physical distribution should enable smooth running of cargo flows with minimal logistic costs. It includes logistic processes regarding the movement of goods from manufacturer to delivery to end users. In that sense, freight forwarder has an important role, with their expertise and experience to organize shipping and delivery of goods in accordance with the requirements of all participants in the transportation chain. Globalization and economic changes affect all segments of the economy, including the freight forwarders. Freight forwarders are forced to expand the range of their services in order to remain competitive on the market. The aim of paper is to present the basic features of international freight forwarding and freight forwarder's role in physical distribution of goods to point out that freight forwarders will be more intensively involved in preforming a broader range of logistics activities in future

Organization of Special Cargo Road Transport

Organizacija prijevoza specijalnih tereta u cestovnom transportu je izrazito složen proces koji je zakonski reguliran brojnim ograničenjima i specifičnostima. Prijevoz specijalnih tereta zbog navedenih razloga financijski skuplji od svakodnevnih prijevoza. Bitnu ulogu u ovom procesu ima špediter koji organizira prijevoz specijalnih tereta jer treba pomno isplanirati svaki detalj i pribaviti svu potrebnu dokumentaciju. U radu će biti objašnjeno koje su to osnovne postavke špediterskog poslovanja, specifičnosti prijevoza specijalnog prijevoza, zakonska regulativa prijevoza specijalnih tereta te sva dokumentacija koja je potrebna da bi taj prijevoz obavljen. Organizacija prijevoza specijalnih tereta bit će objašnjena na konkretnom primjeru prijevoza transformatora od Zagreba do trafostanice Okroglo u Sloveniji.Special cargo transport organisation in road traffic is a very complicated process which is regulated by laws and has many limitations and specifications. Special cargo transport is, because of those limitations much more expensive than regular, daily routine transport. Forwarding agent has a very important role in this process mainly because he has to organise and the transport of special cargo carefully and accordingly, and also has to secure all of the needed documentation so the transport goes without any problems. In this work, basics of forwarding business will be explained, along with specifics of special cargo transport, laws regulating it and the needed documentation to do it. Such kind of transport will be explained in an example of the transport of transformer in Zagreb to electrical substation in Okroglo, Slovenia

Operational Activities of Port Forwarders

Lučka špedicija je vrsta međunarodne špedicije koja se bavi organiziranjem otpreme i dopreme robe pomorskim prijevoznim sredstvima, a njezin cilj je ubrzavanje procesa dopreme i opreme robe u lukama te smanjenje prijevoznih troškova na najmanju moguću mjeru. Najvažnije osobe u međunarodnoj špediciji su upravo lučki špediteri što dokazuje činjenica da se najveća količina tereta prevozi pomorskim putovima, zbog čega i najveća količina robe prolazi kroz luke. Predmet ovog završnog rada je prikazati operativne poslove lučkog špeditera te njihovim objašnjenjem prikazati važnost lučkog špeditera u prometu robom. Važnost lučkog špeditera očitava se u odličnom poznavanju tehničko-tehnoloških i ekonomskopravnih mogućnosti, prava i obaveza svih sudionika koji su direktno ili indirektno povezani poslovima u pomorskim lukama.Port forwarding is a type of international freight forwarding which deals with the organization of shipping and delivering goods by maritime means of transport with the aim of accelerating the process of delivering goods and equipment in ports and reducing transport costs to the smallest possible extent.
