“…Freight mobility, or the smooth and efficient flow of cargo, is a crucial constraint in the logistics industry [23]. This constraint is due to physical, operational, and regulatory factors, such as physical constraints like connecting rail, sea, and land terminals, operational factors like switch conflicts and terminal yard inefficiency, and regulations like parking restrictions and labor laws [19,24]. Cargo transport is a key element in the supply chain that ensures the timely availability of raw materials and finished products [25,26].…”

This research is a case study on the United Arab Emirates (UAE), exploring multimodal logistics, which involves transporting cargo using multiple modes of transportation, and investigating its challenges and opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022. Through a mixed-method approach of qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys, this study examines factors influencing multimodal cargo transport and its performance. Five senior executives from the logistics industry were interviewed to identify key variables, and a questionnaire was administered to 120 participants to assess the impact on shipping costs and utilization. This study reveals a significant relationship between geographical and geopolitical risks and increased shipping costs in certain regions, highlighting the need for secure and cost-effective multimodal solutions in these areas. However, shipping costs did not mediate the performance of intermodal transportation at transit hubs during the pandemic. The findings offer valuable insights for transit hubs to enhance the utilization of multimodal cargo transport during uncertain times, ultimately leading to improved logistics performance in similar hub countries. This study’s originality lies in its investigation of the resilience and sustainability dimensions in multimodal logistics during the pandemic, proposing mitigation strategies and enhancing strategic decision making in the logistics industry under volatile business environments. Future research is recommended to expand the model’s results by including data from other logistics corridors and hubs.

“…Fig. The radical restructuring of cargo flow logistics, the departure of the world's largest container operators from the Russian transport market have led not only to an increase in the load of transport and logistics infrastructure of the Eastern polygon, but also to a significant increase in the time of containers and specialised rolling stock in transit and, consequently, their turnover time, which, in turn, caused an increase in the required working fleet of containers and specialised rolling stock [7][8][9].…”

The current limitations of sustainable growth of railway container traffic at the present stage are analysed. The article analyses the main organisational and technological parameters of container trains on the Russian railway network and the requirements for their implementation. It is revealed that strict compliance with the requirements to form a container train of unified length of 71 conventional wagons does not always meet the requirements of commodity owners and does not improve the conditions of supply of their products. On the other hand, in the conditions of a deficit of throughput capacities of the railway infrastructure in some directions, there is a need to increase the length of container trains up to 114-140 conventional wagons. Within the framework of the development of methodological approaches to the establishment of expedient organisational and technological requirements for the assignment of container trains, a classifier of solutions for sorting of container trains of differentiated lengths based on the technical and economic characteristics of a particular railway direction has been developed. The application of the original classifier will increase the validity of the organisation of container trains of differentiated length, taking into account the growth of commercial attractiveness of the transport service for goods owners and economic efficiency for the railway carrier and the organisers of container trains.
