Abstract

Russia’s integration into the world economy was accompanied by a significant increase in the volume of international trade. To ensure a continuous process of international trade, it is necessary to create an efficiently functioning transport system that will successfully solve current and future tasks of economic and social development. The purpose of this study is to determine the main trends and patterns in the transportation of goods of the Russian Federation in international traffic. Based on the results of this study, the following conclusions were made: in 1990-2019, there were contradictory trends in the change in the volume of cargo transportation by individual modes of transport; the role of road transport has significantly increased, the volume of cargo transportation of which has increased 5 times over the period under review; the carriage of goods by sea has significantly decreased, but the main reason for this was the registration of domestic ships under flags of convenience; the volume of goods transported by inland waterway transport has remained almost unchanged since 1990, and its role in foreign trade is especially significant in the transportation of export goods; air transportation of goods is increasing, but its share in the total volume of cargo transportation is still insignificant.
