Formation of transport-logistic clusters in Ukraine

Abstract

Transport play an important role in the development of the economy. For efficient functioning of the transport system there should be not only high technical conditions of rolling stock, but also a developed transport infrastructure. The geographic position of Ukraine makes it a promising transit state. The purpose if this paper is to present the results of the research on the Ukrainian transport-logistic infrastructure. Since transport is one of the main components of economic development, it is relevant to study this sector of the economy and identify prospective directions for improvement, namely the formation of Transport-Logistics Clusters (TLC) in Ukraine. As a result of the research, it has been found that in Ukraine there are priority terrestrial modes of transport in comparison with other types. The value of the research is that having analyzed the experience of other countries in the establishment of TLC, the authors have identified the benefits of different cluster strategies for the formation of TLCs in Ukraine.
