Economic Expediency of Production and use of Biodiesel in Ukraine (p. 232 - 236)
Dependence on import of energy resources significantly holds back development and stability of Ukrainian economy. Such a dependence influences national and energetic security and the use of petroleum products as sources of energy presents significant ecological threats. This dependence stimulates intensive search for alternative sources of energy. Production and use of biofuel, namely biodiesel mixtures, are considered among other ways of solution of this problem. The most optimal type of biodiesel mixtures are mixtures, which contain not more than 30% of biodiesel fuel and 70% of petroleum diesel fuel. Adding up to 30% of biodiesel to the petroleum diesel fuel does not require changes in engine construction. Exploitation and physical and chemical properties of the mixed diesel fuel do not differ significantly from requirements of the diesel fuel standard. The cost of biodiesel fuel is comparable with the cost of diesel fuel and does not result in rise of price. Ukraine has significant potential and conditions for production of biodiesel. However, the current correlation of prices on energy resources and biofuel raw materials makes production of biofuel in Ukraine unprofitable. To stimulate the use of biodiesel, it is necessary to develop and introduce a system of privileges and introduce a strict control, which envisages fines for polluting the atmosphere.

Intensification of Development of Mixed Transportation of Freight in Ukraine through Formation of the Network of Transportation and Logistic Centres and Transportation and Logistic Clusters (p. 180 - 185)
Development of mixed transportation is a prospective direction of development of the transportation system of Ukraine. The article analyses the modern state of development of mixed transportation of freight in Ukraine. The most popular types of combined transportation (refers to multi-modal) are container and contrailer trains, which are formed both in Ukraine (Viking and Yaroslav) and in other countries, first of all, Belarus (Zubr). One of the reasons of underdevelopment of mixed transportation of freight in Ukraine is absence of a developed network of transportation and logistic centres. The article offers to form a network of transportation and logistic centres in Ukraine as a way of intensification of development of mixed transportations of freight, since they facilitate co-ordination of use of various types of transport and support integrated management of material flows. Transportation and logistic centres should become a start-up complex, around which transportation and logistic clusters would be gradually formed. Transportation and logistic clusters is a new efficient form of network organisation and management of transportation and logistic services and they also ensure growth of efficiency of use of the regional transportation and logistic potential of Ukraine. The article shows prospective supporting transportation and logistic centres and centres of formation of transportation and logistic clusters in the territory of Ukraine. Formation of efficient transportation and logistic system of Ukraine on the basis of a network of transportation and logistic clusters would facilitate entering of Ukraine into the world transportation environment and would allow acceleration of introduction of efficient logistic schemes of freight delivery, in particular, mixed transportation of freight.

Formation of Criteria of Assessment of Infrastructure Projects of Sea Ports Development (p. 143 - 148)
The spectrum of criteria, by which assessment of tender offers of projects of state-private partnership in the port industry is carried out, includes a small but capacious set of indicators of financial and economic efficiency and qualification level of contenders. However, the study of foreign methods of assessment of projects in sea ports and domestic experience of carrying out tenders in other industries shows that a more clear division of assessment of both tender offers and contenders is rational. The article uses some methods and approaches to scientific study – generalisation, systematisation and analysis of foreign and domestic experience of carrying out tenders and acts of law. In the result the article forms a scheme of assessment of tender offers and investors and also offers an algorithm of calculation of the integral tender assessment, based on division of tender criteria by four groups: technical and economic, financial (for a tender offer), financial and investment, and organisational (for investors). The offered aspects of improvement of methods of tender selection of projects, realised in the port industry with the help of the mechanism of state-private partnership, would facilitate a more balanced and optimal selection of the best offer not only from the point of view of its content, but also the characteristic of the investor that proposes it. On the other hand, the use of the common, successfully tested under different conditions of project realisation, numerical method of assessment would be the guarantee of applicability of the of the proposed measures.

Conceptual Approach to Formation of Competitiveness of the Leading International Airports under Conditions of the World Trajectory of the Airline Market Development (p. 171 - 176)
Potential of competitiveness of the airport, as any other enterprise of the service sphere, is determined by the corporate power of the producer of these values. The issue of development of the infrastructure development strategy of leading international airports, which sets the goal of solution of the problem of complete, timely, uninterrupted and high quality satisfaction of the fast growing demand of services consumers with minimal costs, becomes extremely urgent under conditions of dynamic development of the world aviation. However, the airport infrastructure is rather wasteful and requires permanent investments into renovation of the infrastructure objects and technological systems. The airport infrastructure is a set of objects, which are divided, by their functional purpose, into objects that directly service the technological process of air conveyance (sphere of aviation activity) and objects that create additional services. Increase of competitiveness of the airport in the world economic environment envisages timely modernisation and harmonious development of its objects in accordance with requirements of the airport services market on the basis of rational resource provision and efficient management of the property complex at all stages of functioning and development. The author studies aspects of formation of the competitive strategy of the airport, identifies strategic priorities of development of the airport infrastructure, including through the mechanism of state-private partnership, use of transit potential, strengthening of the logistical component, increase of quality of servicing, and diversification of activity by means of strengthening its non-aviation component with consideration of goals of efficient integration in the national and global environment.

The article takes into consideration the main approaches to determining amounts of concession fees and it has been noted that at the present day there isn't a methodology for determining amounts of concession fees for the port infrastructure objects, which have been available to providing services. An economic mechanism for determining the differential amount of concession fees for the existing port infrastructure objects (brownfield projects) has been elaborated on the basis of investment attractiveness, which takes into account the level of profitability of sea port, efficiency in the use of its assets, solvency, financial sustainability, logistic and capacity for self-development. A differentiated approach to determining amounts of concession fees according to the proposed methodology will help to increase revenues from the CSP with a high average level of investment appeal and attract investor in ports with low investment attractiveness.

The article explores the status and major trends in the development of container shipping traffic in the world; analyzes the dynamics and structure of container shipping traffic by regions of the world, the largest of which is Asia; determines the dynamics of container freight flows, allocating 20 cities with the largest container freight turnover; defines the role of container shipping in the development of global maritime trade. It is determined that the processing of container freight flows remains concentrated in large ports. The total capacity of the world’s 20 largest ports is growing and makes 347,8 million TEU in 2018. Shanghai remains the most powerful container port in the world, the largest growth is observed in Singapore. Only five ports outside Asia are represented among the top 20 container ports, namely Antwerp, Hamburg, Los Angeles, Long Beach and Rotterdam. Further development of container traffic from China is expected, which in turn may lead to a reduction in volumes and freight flows on the Trans-Pacific route. In the container shipments by sea, there are tendencies to form alliances between terminal operators, line companies for joint operation of berths, which puts new requirements for adaptation and technical equipment of ports. Vertical integration and further expansion of transport lines in terminal operations increases competition between carriers. It is determined that the development of container shipping is facilitated by the growth of economic activity world-wide, restructuring of supply chain in favor of large ships and carrier alliances, digitalization and modernization of transport infrastructure, the newest shipbuilding, economic integration and informatization.

The Methodological Features of the Formation of End-to-End Tariff Rates by Multimodal Transportation Operators (p. 162 - 167)
The research addresses the methodological features of the formation of the cost-efficient end-to-end tariff rates by multimodal transportation operator (MTO) and overall increase in the efficiency of the tariffing process in terms of multimodal transportation. In the context of world practice, the issue of forming a single pricing system for multimodal transportations, regardless of the share of individual types of transport, has been disclosed. The methodology for the formation of the end-to-end tariff for multimodal transportations using several types of transport is substantiated taking into account the economic interests of all participants, which often are working in different spheres, which usually causes an unjustified overestimation of the end-to-end tariff rate. As a result of the research on the practice of forming a tariff for mixed transportation, which includes, respectively, the rules of transportation and tariff rates, it is defined that the rules of transportation should clearly reflect the contractual conditions between client and MTO. It is reasoned that fares should include normal payments for specific transportation operations with standard equipment and the least-cost route and reflect the competitive advantages/disadvantages of each type of transport. The world experience of the methodologically substantiated distribution of end-to-end freight in a freely convertible currency, the efficiency of which is provided by using a specific transport-technological scheme of multimodal transportation, is studied. The issue of improvement and introduction of tariff rules for mixed multimodal transportations, as well as the creation of model rules for the organization of container transportations negotiating with participants in mixed transportation, are updated. The author generalizes the methodical approaches to the formation of a single end-to-end tariff rate by the mixed transportation operator when combining the markets of certain types of transport into a general transport market, and to a single definition and formation of market prices that do not depend on distance and type of transport.

Formation of the conception of Ensuring Balanced Development of the Railway Transport Enterprises in the Conditions of Their Digital Transformation (p. 119 - 127)
In the context of deepening global social and environmental destructive phenomena, along with the economic efficiency of operation of business entities, it is important to take into account such development dominants as socially responsible management, socialization of labor relations and environmentalization of economic activity, which form the basis of the conception of balanced management. Ukraine is also joining the global trend of achieving a balance of economic, social and environmental aspects of activities, so it takes into account the principles of sustainable economic management in the development of strategic and programmatic initiatives of its socio-economic development, in particular such activities are fragmentary implemented at the State, regional and local levels. Despite this, there is currently no comprehensive approach to balancing the activities of enterprises in the basic sectors of the economy, including rail transport. Therefore, given the coordinating role of railway enterprises in achieving the socio-economic growth of the country, it is very important to develop an effective approach to the balanced development of railway transport enterprises along with formation of an instrumentarium to achieve it, which will overcome the identified imbalances of the activities of these enterprises and fulfill the potential of the enterprises in the mentioned sector in the direction of their digital transformation. Based on the analysis of scientific developments on the formation of the basis of the implementation of the enterprises’ sustainable development initiatives, including the rail transport enterprises, the application of a co-evolutionary-digital approach is proposed, which involves the introduction of the latest digital solutions depending on the priorities of the development of railway enterprises together with dynamic changes in their operation environment. It is also proposed to ensure the joint evolution of the entities interacting with the railway industry within the terms of the ecosystem of their functioning through the application of the co-adaptive compatible digital solutions and the formation of a single information-digital space for their growth. Within limits of this approach the author has formed conceptional provisions for the balanced development of the railway transport enterprises in the aspect of their digital transformation, which contain the goal, the generalized and adaptive criteria, as well as the motives and objectives of their sustainable development.

The Status of Risk Management in Transport Enterprises of Ukraine (p. 125 - 133)
The purpose of the article is to analyze the status of risk management in transport enterprises of Ukraine. It is identified that the biggest risks in the activities of transport companies in Ukraine are associated with economic crisis phenomena, high inflation, currency fluctuations, corruption, political instability, hostilities in the east, imperfect taxation and customs clearance, bureaucracy, limited access to finance. resources, unprofitability, significant level of wear of vehicles and infrastructure, low investment attractiveness and insufficient level of innovation. The negative impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the status of risk management and performance of transport companies, which leads to market reorientation, the growing role of e-commerce and transport logistics, needs to be considered separately. It is determined that the indicators of cargo turnover in Ukraine and the volume of transported goods for 2000–2019 are reduced for almost all modes of transport. The number of operating transport companies and the number of staff involved are unstable. Due to the consequences of the crisis phenomena in 2016, the largest number of transport companies was liquidated. Negative factors are a decrease in passenger traffic, a high level of losses of transport enterprises, an increase in the number of accidents on transport, in particular the transport of dangerous goods. The risk management system in transport companies indicates the need to develop an effective mechanism that would help in the current circumstances, challenges and modern requirements to achieve better results and avoid serious problems and situations. There is an objective need to build a risk management and internal control system through enhanced procurement monitoring, implementation of tender policy, management of contracts and the policy of selection with verification of business partners at all stages of fundraising.

The Unmanned Passenger Aerial Vehicles with Electric Propulsion in Ukraine – Perspectives of Employment (p. 152 - 157)
The article explores the issue of institutional provision for the employment of unmanned passenger aerial vehicles with electric propulsion (urban electric aerial vehicles) in Ukraine. The use of such vehicles is considered a promising direction in the development of urban air transport, able to unload traffic bottlenecks of the transport system in megacities. Among the main factors that favorably distinguish urban electric aerial vehicles from traditional air transport are: safety, economic efficiency, quietness, environmental friendliness and low requirements for related infrastructure. Preparations for large-scale use of urban electric aerial vehicles are currently being carried out in Germany, the USA, South Korea and the city of Dubai. The analysis of the advantages and possibilities of using urban electric aerial vehicles is provided; the history of development and the current status of this transport type is carried out. Despite the fact that the first samples of urban electric aerial vehicles are only being tested, there is already a significant competition in this market. Among the main developers of this class of aircraft one can single out the companies EHang (PRC) and Lilium GmbH (Germany). The article reviewes legislative requirements for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with electric propulsion in certain countries of the world. Borrowing this experience can be useful for Ukraine due to the lack of terminological definition of such a class of vehicle in the natonal legislation; uncertainty of the conditions of their operation and safety measures; lacunas in the existing classification of unmanned aerial vehicles, which does not provide for the existence of programmable aerial vehicle, the control of which does not require a special control station located outside the vehicle, or vehicles that carry out programmable flight. In order to eliminate existing lacunas in Ukrainian legislation, measures have been developed, the implementation of which will allow the use of unmanned passenger aerial vehicles with electric propulsion and will contribute to the further development of air transport in Ukraine.

Public-Private Partnership as a Mechanism for the Development of Transport Infrastructure in Kherson Region (p. 217 - 224)
The development of the transport infrastructure of the region remains an important task, which today is solved by means of the mechanism of public-private partnership (PPP). At present, both a sufficient institutional environment and the regulatory support for the implementation of public-private partnership projects have already been created. Kherson region, having an average level of development of transport infrastructure, de facto occupies the near-border position. Therefore, the level of development of infrastructure of the region (in particular, road economy) is of significant strategic importance for the security of the State. The main tasks for the development of transport infrastructure of Kherson region and possible directions of implementation of infrastructure projects are defined. The study showed that only two projects that are not infrastructural are implemented on the basis of PPP in Kherson region. However, the concession of Kherson seaport has been launched – this project is pilot not only in the region, but also in Ukraine. Concluding a concession agreement in seaports is a complex and long-term procedure. Important in the agreement is the determination of the amount of concession payments and the distribution of risks between the project participants. Typically, concessionaires are large international companies (cargo owners or shipowners) or domestic industrial and financial groups that dictate the terms of the contract, so, accordingly, there may be a conflict of interest. This publication defines the essential conditions of this concession project. PPP projects in the road sphere are promising, which should solve a number of problems of the region. The airport «Kherson» is described as a concession object, the scheme of the PPP mechanism concerning it is proposed. It is determined that public-private partnership in the sphere of railway infrastructure is in the process of formation and determination of forms of cooperation.

In the course of the study, it was identified that both in the scientific field and in practice, mixed transportation is often understood as synonymous with the concept of «multimodal transportation», but it is determined that all integrated (multimodal, intermodal, combined) and separate (segment) transportations are part of mixed ones, which complement each other. It is noted that multimodal and intermodal transportations have a certain difference between themselves, which consists in the presence of the number of contracts and the responsibility borne by the transportation operator. It is proposed to take into account all the conditions that cause influence on the result of the decision on the implementation of multimodal transportation. In the study of theoretical and practical aspects it was possible to allocate the operators of multimodal transportation as follows: operators who operate with sea vessels; operators who do not operate with sea vessels, but may own other rolling stock, warehouses, etc.; forwarders who are not always multimodal operators and can be agents of some part of a transportation and cooperate with the main operator. Their special role in the organization of multimodal transportation is substantiated, taking into account all the factors and elements that must closely interact with each other in the delivery process. Prospects for further research in this direction are the construction of an algorithm for choosing a multimodal operator, taking into account various conditions.

Tax Regulation of Multimodal Transportation Development (p. 211 - 216)
Multimodal transportation is an important component of the transport system. The development of multimodal transportation requires coordination of various modes of transport and their integration into a single organizational system that operates on the basis of the formation of logistics centers. The article considers the problem of forming an ecosystem of multimodal transportation in Ukraine, reveals the peculiarities of its taxation and interaction in the digital economy. The existing regulatory and legal support of logistic activities in Ukraine is also analyzed. At present, multimodal transportation is of great importance for the economy of Ukraine. This is one of the important innovative directions in the development of the transport system at both the national and the international levels. Despite the fact that this direction is actively developing, today there is no clear legal and contractual support for this institution. The article analyzes the role of tax regulation of multimodal transportation along with the risks of environmental burden. It is noted that in Ukraine, amendments to the legislation in the field of regulation of multimodal transportation are extremely important, as well as the need to adopt a separate law that would allow to develop modern methods of cargo delivery, improve the quality of service for consumers of transport services, and reduce transportation costs. Among the main reasons that hinder the development of mixed transportation are the following: imperfection of the regulatory and legal settlement of multimodal transportation issues and the disparity between the levels of development of the capacity of ports for processing goods and railway infrastructure. The prospect of further research is the development of a theoretical and methodological approach to the choice of strategies and instruments for the development of transport infrastructure and tax regulation of multimodal transportation.

Analyzing the Shipbuilding Industry in Ukraine and the World (p. 135 - 145)
The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of activity of the shipbuilding industry in Ukraine and the world. In the carried out study, the authors considered the structure of shipbuilding enterprises and organizations in Ukraine. The shipbuilding industry of Ukraine was examined in terms of theoretical and practical aspects, which led to negative conclusions regarding the functional activity of shipyards and ship repair plants. It is determined that most of the plants experienced difficulties even before the onset of the COVID-2019 pandemic and martial law in the country. Analyzing the dynamics of financial results of only a few of the plants for 2019-2021, namely: PJSC «Plant «Kuznya na Rybalskomu», Kyiv Shipbuilding and Ship repair plant (KSSRP), Kherson State Plant «Pallada», Mykolaiv Shipyard «Ocean», it can be stated that over the years there is a tendency of reducing the net income from the sale of goods and services. This situation should encourage the search for new opportunities to maximize the final financial result and improve their own position in the competitive environment. Given that shipbuilding and ship repair is a strategic industry of Ukraine’s development, an integrated approach should take place in applying incentives and support measures on the part both the State and the private sector. The ability to continue with the activities of plants on a continuous basis was carried out only through signed contracts with foreign investors. It is noted that thanks to this in single shipyards there was a chance to survive in the market and compete for an attempt to meet the trends of the world and European markets. Of course, this does not apply to «NIBULON» Shipyard, which is a leader in the development of modern business and economy of Ukraine. It is identified that in 2021 a project of strategy for the development of shipbuilding and ship repair until 2030 was presented, which was developed taking into account the analysis of the activities of international maritime countries that have a comprehensive system of government support. The main goal of this project was to apply such incentives and measures for the shipbuilding industry of Ukraine.

The Economic Diagnostics of Enterprise Competitiveness in the Transport Services Market (p. 149 - 154)
The purpose of the article is to determine the economic diagnostics and development of measures to ensure the competitiveness of the enterprise in the transport market in conditions of variability and uncertainty of the external economic environment. The stages and methods of competitive analysis are analyzed. The relevance of the diagnostics of the enterprise is substantiated. The features of the current state of diagnostic systems at domestic transport enterprises are also determined, including the following: use of simple analytical diagnostic methods; a limited number of indicators that are used by managers as indicators of the state of enterprise; retrospective and current direction of diagnostics; use of accounting and statistical accounting data as information sources; predominance of symptomatic type of diagnostics and the single use of etiological diagnostics; use of diagnostics mainly to prevent a crisis state; lack of a formalized methodology for the implementation of economic diagnostics, taking into account industry specifics. The solution of the main problems of the diagnostic system at enterprises in modern economic conditions is proposed, namely: formation of a system of criteria (indicators) that can characterize the object and adequately reflect its condition, taking into account factors of influence; development of a scale for measuring the values of indicators that allow minimizing the influence of the subjectivity factor in the course of diagnosing; development of a formalized methodology for diagnosing the state of enterprises, taking into account the specifics of their activities and developing a methodology for choosing the best option for measures that facilitate the improvement of the work of all components of the object of study.

Global Digitalization of the Worldwide Transport Services Market (p. 173 - 178)
The article analyzes the diverse aspects of determining the economic content and unifying essence of the digital economy, which consists in the technological transformation initiated by the mass introduction of digital technologies into the modernization of the transport industry sector. It is noted that the use of digital data is becoming a key factor in production, allowing the creation of new business models, providing serious competitive advantages to companies in both regional and global markets. It is emphasized that the digital development of transport is an integral component of the successful transition to the development of transport systems in the digital direction. At this, in the digital transformation of freight logistics, integrated digital information platforms play a key role, bringing together participants in the value chain, distribution channels, consumers and individual sectors of the economy. It is shown that the transition to digital technologies in the transport system directly influences the entire logistics supply chain, which, in turn, leads to a reduction in the risks of violations during the transportation of goods, the breakdown of processes into subprocesses and their synchronization, monitoring and analysis of the operational situation in the current time mode. And this contributes to decision-making in the operational management of all transport and logistics processes. It is substantiated that the development of digital systems is designed primarily to improve the quality of life, make transport more convenient for business development, while innovative developments in modeling transport systems and regulating traffic flows should provide end consumers with greater information content and safety, as well as qualitatively increase the level of interaction between transport market participants.

Adapting the Transport Enterprises of Ukraine to the Conditions of Martial Law (p. 116 - 122)
The purpose of the article is to study the process of adaptation of transport enterprises of Ukraine to the conditions of martial law and the development of the main directions of development or recovery of transport enterprises in the conditions of war and in the post-war period. The consequences of the ongoing since February 24, 2022 full-scale invasion of the russian federation for transport infrastructure are noted. It is specified that constant missile attacks force representatives of all spheres of management to adapt to existence in wartime conditions. It is substantiated that effective repulsion to the aggressive plans of the russian federation largely depends on the ability of transport enterprises to quickly respond to martial law conditions: timely evacuate the population from zones of war hostilities; deliver humanitarian aid; transport the necessary cargoes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as transport other goods, including the articles of export and import, which are the basis for the formation of gross domestic product. It is noted that from the first day of russia’s military invasion of the territory of our country, the relevant State authorities in tandem with the leadership of all transport enterprises introduced a number of measures of first priority. As a result of the study, the authors highlight a list of implemented first-priority measures by the State authorities and the directors of transport administrations in the first months of russia’s full-scale invasion, which shows a high level of adaptation of the transport sector of Ukraine to the conditions of existence in the new realities of martial law. The authors emphasized that, despite the great destruction of transport infrastructure, works are constantly carried out to restore and open new logistics hubs to support the national economy and restore the status of the export country. The conducted research shows that under the current economic conditions caused by russia’s military aggression, Ukrainian transport enterprises were able to quickly respond and adapt to military conditions, managed to quickly find reserves for restoring and maintaining uninterrupted operation, thanks to which the national economy was able to survive, and Ukraine – to maintain the status of an export country in order to remain a guarantor of food security in many countries over the world.

The Essence and the Implementation Levels of Transport and Logistics Provision of Tourist Centers Projects (p. 63 - 71)
Tourist center is a locality (village, city, landscape) that attracts tourists due to the availability of specific resources and is a tourist service center with stable tourist flows, the leading system for which is the appropriate transport and logistics system. Its components are transport and logistics infrastructure – roads, communications, railway stations (passenger terminals) and vehicles. In turn, transport and logistics provision of tourism, and directly of tourist centers, is manifested in the use of this infrastructure and vehicles and supply of the relevant services. The state of transport and logistics infrastructure of the tourist center provides a certain level of transport and logistics services for tourists, including cost, time, quality, and safety. The purpose of this study is to define the main types of projects for transport and logistics provision of tourist centers and establish their specifics as a basis for further development related to the management of this category of projects. The main types of projects of transport and logistics provision of tourist centers, which are related to the creation/modernization/development by types of transport: objects of transport and logistics infrastructure (roads, tracks, railway stations, passenger terminals); vehicle parks; relevant services (transport routes). It is determined that projects of transport and logistics provision of tourist centers are related to obtaining a product that can be important for different spheres (not only tourism) and at different levels, which substantiates the concepts of «multidimensionality» and «multilevelness» of these projects and determines the essence of their specificity. In addition, many projects in this category are implemented at the State level (or with partial provision by the State) and are not commercial. It is found that in many projects there is a need to coordinate the parameters of the transport and logistics infrastructure of adjacent tourist centers and transport hubs, which are basic for tourist flows of a particular tourist center or their combination. These properties lead to the need to assess the value of these projects, taking into account the existing specifics.

Forming the Approaches to the Classification of Cluster Structures and Port Clusters (p. 80 - 90)
The article is aimed at generalizing the world practice along with forming the approaches to classifying clusters, including port clusters, introducing clusterization into the activities of Ukrainian ports in order to solve urgent problems of the port industry. The article uses general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, deduction, grouping, structural and system analyses. Both domestic and foreign literature on types and features of cluster formation is analyzed; the process of cluster development at different stages is defined; a generalized table with different approaches to the classification of clusters, including port clusters, is formed; the possibilities of creating port clusters in Ukraine are considered. It is determined that the most important criteria for classification of clusters are: industry affiliation (woodworking, financial, tourism, pharmaceutical enterprises); development factors (demand-oriented, located in the place of availability of labor resources and these, the location of which is first determined by natural factors); the stage of cluster development; the internal structure of the cluster; the way the cluster appears; the scale of cluster activity. As for port clusters, the economic substantiation for the creation of a port cluster should represent the demand for a certain cargo base. Therefore, it is advisable to analyze the cargo flow to determine its discreteness. The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that the proposed classification features of clusters in general and port clusters in particular allow determining the vector of direction for introducing the best solutions in Ukrainian port activities. The advantage of introducing the cluster conception into the maritime economic complex of Ukraine will be the promotion of holistic development and growth of the innovativeness of the industry. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve economic effects, as well as increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian ports.

Transport Infrastructure of Ukraine as an Object of Investment Attractiveness in Changing Security Conditions (p. 199 - 207)
Restoration and development of transport infrastructure is an extremely important task. Considering this, the aim of the article is to analyze the status and identify the problems of investment in the activities of transport infrastructure enterprises in changing security conditions. The authors pay attention to the classification of transport infrastructure in order to highlight its diversity and interaction in order to emphasize the need to take into account the specifics of the activities of transport infrastructure enterprises when determining their investment attractiveness. The systemic problems of transport infrastructure and ways to relieve of them are identified. It is noted that in the last decade Ukraine has been actively working on the development of transport infrastructure with a focus on the European integration. The advantages of this process include standardization, increased investment, and enhanced competitiveness. However, there are also disadvantages, such as financial costs, insufficient structural changes, and somewhat slow adaptation to new requirements, which can cause internal difficulties and disputes. Emphasis is placed on the unevenness of investments in this industry due to the specifics of the activities of transport infrastructure enterprises. It is determined that attracting investment during the war is a difficult task due to uncertainty and risks for business. However, with the right strategy and the right use of opportunities, investments can be attracted even in such conditions. It is indicated that it is necessary to choose the optimal methodology for determining the investment attractiveness of transport infrastructure enterprises under modern conditions. An analysis of the main methods for determining investment attractiveness is carried out, their advantages and disadvantages have been specified. Groups of investors with different interests and expectations from investments are defined. The main factors that determine the investment attractiveness of transport infrastructure in changing security conditions have been identified. Most of all, this infrastructure is affected by the level of security and stability of a country or region. This is followed by legal stability, infrastructure potential, economic sustainability, innovation in technology, logistics efficiency, ecological aspects, and the geopolitical situation. Considering the interaction of these factors, a comprehensive assessment of the attractiveness for investment in transport infrastructure can be provided. All these factors should be taken into account in the formation of an integral indicator of investment attractiveness of transport infrastructure enterprises.

Logistics Innovations in Cold Supply Chains (p. 235 - 241)
The article is aimed at reviewing innovations in logistics and the possibilities of using these modern technologies in cold supply chains, which will increase the security and transparency of supply, reducing the risks of damage or loss of products. Scientific research in the field of logistics innovations is of great practical importance for optimizing supply chains, especially cold ones. The introduction of innovative technologies and systems for monitoring the temperature regime of supply is a priority task for all participants in the cold supply chain – from the manufacturer to the end consumer. Important aspects in the management of cold supply chains are the use of IoT devices that work to monitor and track the physical condition of products that require maintaining temperature conditions in containers, fresh warehouses, during transportation in a refrigerator, and most importantly during loading and unloading operations. Also, the use of blockchain and smart contracts can reduce the time for the transfer of information between all participants in the cold supply chain. The application of IoT innovations allows logisticians to respond to changes in cold supply chains in real time. This determines the relevance of the use of these technologies in cold supply chains, contributing to: reducing the time for analyzing large amounts of data, which can be available to all participants in the cold supply chain and will make it possible to predict delays and optimize delivery routes with great accuracy; maintaining the quality of products during transportation, using advanced packaging solutions that help maintain optimal temperature conditions along the entire route; reducing the time for reloading products due to the automation of processes in the warehouse and in transport logistics; reducing the risk of loss during the last-mile delivery; increasing the transparency of the cold supply chain using smart contracts. For Ukraine, which is currently under martial law, innovations in cold logistics are necessary to improve the quality of service for foreign companies that open markets for goods and services in Ukraine and must meet high quality and safety standards when delivering goods with a limited shelf life.

The Factor Component Assessment of the Logistics System in the Management of Business Structures (p. 308 - 315)
The study in the article is aimed at analyzing the integration of logistic functions with the internal functions of enterprises, which are production, procurement, sales, staff management, accounting and finance, as well as integration with external suppliers and buyers. The aim of the article is to find out the importance of internal and external factors, which, acting together with the logistic function, increase the efficiency of management, which is reflected in the performance of enterprises, on the basis of building a model of factor analysis. The integration of management systems into supply chains, such as warehouse management systems and transportation management systems, results in better global inventory visibility, which reduces costs and increases cycle times. Internal integration in business organizations and external integration between supply chain partners should be carefully developed by managers to achieve a high level of organizational performance. Doubts and insecurities in supply chains can be reduced by strengthening internal integration, which enhances organizations’ information-processing capabilities. The growth of internal integration allows employees to better understand value creation processes as well as how business functions relate to each other. Business efficiency depends on responding to customer and supplier requests, which is reflected in the ability to adapt to constant changes. Cooperation between supply chain members, providing each other with information, as well as mutual support services can increase competitiveness and shorten supply chain cycle times. Thus, an important part of the assessment of the logistics system in the management of business structures is the determination of indicators reflecting the factors of logistic functions. When constructing a factor component model for assessing the logistics system, the study identifies two main directions influencing the management of entrepreneurial structures, namely: the volume of production and the volume of sales of products at the enterprise. Thus, the measurement and planning of these indicators allows to build effective supply chains between all divisions of the business structure, which significantly increases the level of integration and significantly affects adaptive capabilities and competitiveness.
