TRANSIT POTENTIAL OF VOLYN DURING CUSTOMS AND LOGISTICS OPERATIONS
Abstract
When planning the functioning of the subject of foreign economic activity should take into account a number of factors affecting the logistics of goods across the customs border of Ukraine. It`s relevant to optimize material, financial and information flows to understand where, when and how to document and move goods, technologies of declaration objects delivery to customs control points for the purpose of acceleration of cargoes movement; movement of goods across the customs border of Ukraine depending on the regimes applied to them. That is, the availability and level of development of infrastructure facilities, such as roads, railways, customs posts and checkpoints across the state border in customs and logistics operations are perhaps the most important.
The location of the Volyn Oblast in the border area requires not only taking into account the factor of checkpoints in the assessment of transit potential, but also the use of geographical location in order to bring the existing elements of the transport network to international standards requirements.
It is necessary to carry out reconstructions of the motor transport complex to increase the pace of socio-economic development. According to the State Program, reconstruction of the international highways of the Volyn Oblast under the first technical category is provided. Bringing the motor transport complex of Volyn to international parameters will perform a stimulating function for the transit potential of the oblast.
Large traffic flows lead to significant problems in the work of Customs: the accumulation of vehicles in lanes and as a consequence them blocking. The Yahodyn and Ustyluh checkpoints need urgent modernization to increase capacity, reduce queues and improve service. Another option to solve the problem of the queue is to open a new checkpoint for freight transport, which is already being negotiated with the Polish side, Ambukiv-Hrudek - near the Izov railway checkpoint and the Ustyluh-Rivne highway.
