Approaches to Tariffs Formation for Ethylene by Pipelines Transportation

Abstract

The paper suggests two approaches to formation of tariffs for ethylene by pipeline transportation. These approaches consider technological features of ethylene pipeline application and ensure differentiation of tariffs for different users depending on the type of the commodity transport work fulfilled for ethylene pumping. Application of double rate tariffs for services of ethylene transportation via ethylene pipeline is recommended. Double rate tariff includes both tariff rate for ethylene pipeline use, which is uniform for all consumers, and tariff rate for the work fulfilled for ethylene pumping, which depends on the planned volume of commodity transport work for ethylene transfer under the contract with the services consumer.
