Abstrakty

Among different transportation modes, inland water transport is recognized as a low-cost, environmentally friendly way of transporting. The use of this mode in Myanmar encounters many challenges and the chance of promoting this mode of transport comparing to other transport mode like road transport should be explored. Thus the competitiveness of the two modes are investigated from the operators’ cost perspective. The time taken in each mode is also explored. The considerations are taken into account for the recommendations to improve transport performance in terms of time, cost, and reliability especially for inland water transport. Then it attempts to identify the potential and the challenges of respective modes.

Низкая стоимость и экологичность выделяет внутренний водный транспорт среди других видов и способов транспортировки. Использование этого вида транспорта в Мьянме сталкивается с большим количеством трудностей, и возможности его развития по сравнению с другими видами транспорта, такими как дорожный, должны быть исследованы. В данной статье конкурентоспособность этих двух видов транспорта рассмотрена с точки зрения операционных расходов. Исследованы также и затраты времени в каждом случае. С учетом различных факторов предоставлены рекомендации для увеличения производительности, внутреннего водного транспорта в особенности, с точки зрения времени, стоимости и надежности. Кроме того, в статье рассмотрены потенциал и сложности развития обоих видов транспорта.
