Abstract
The article considers features of sectoral segmentation in the maritime industry, which causes various forms of sectoral segmentation in the world freight market. The latest growth trends in the world commercial shipping are analyzed in terms of type and size of vessels, their age range, features of formation of the cargo base and freight rates. On the basis of that, a number of disparities in the transport sector are revealed and their impact on the growth of both the world and European transport complexes is defined. There are some factors that have a particular effect on forming the asymmetry of transportation services, namely, an increase of the fleet deadweight tonnage, the growing role of container shipping in the maritime traffic and concern about negative effects of vehicles on the environment. The research describes ways for evaluating the asymmetry in tonnage supply depending on the share of the world trade in goods by types of cargo which allows claiming that fluctuations of these indicators by more than 3 per cent lead to a substantial imbalance in supply and demand of tonnage. It is proved that optimum operations of maritime transport relies on best routes and schemes for delivery of various types of cargo. Consequently, if the indicators of the fleet’s operations fluctuate, it results in the asymmetry in a particular sector of the world freight market. It is suggested dividing the possible causes of sectoral asymmetry in the maritime market into the following categories: political and military; ‘competition’; ‘acts of third parties’; technical and operating. Monitoring the situation and identifying the relevant parameters enable to forecast their possible effects and take mea-surements to eliminate them. The research proposes to determine the coefficient of asymmetry of the line capacity in order to prevent inappropriate use of freight-carrying capacity, and also the coefficient of variation from the normal indicators of transport infrastructure’s operation in order to reduce transport costs.
