Abstract: The development of the transport industry involves the implementation of an integrated approach that covers all types of transport and, at the same time, relies largely on marketing and logistics bases. The existing bias towards land transport, in addition to objective reasons, has many factors due to omissions in the organization of the activities of river transport enterprises. Correcting these errors and omissions today is not only the interest of river transport and its land bases, but also an objective necessity. For many cargo owners, the problem of the lack of reserves for the capacity of land transport routes is urgent for local, regional and federal authorities, which automatically generates a number of problems of an economic, environmental, social, etc. nature. The use of virtually unlimited reserves of waterway capacity can be not only a tactical, but also a strategic solution in this situation. It is obvious that ports, being essentially multitransport terminals, should actively engage in the formation of logistics chains for cargo owners, while conducting comprehensive marketing research that will clearly and clearly identify promising segments of regional markets for water transport.
