The estimation of balanced transport tariffs in coal exports
An important problem in coal export is collection of railway tariffs. The scheme of a mixed tariff consisting of two parts – permanent and variable, depending on the world market coal prices – is proposed, which is tailored to satisfy the interests of both coal exporters and railway workers. The proposed scheme of tariffs solves the problem of coal transportation under low world prices as well as yields a proportional growth of incomes for the railway if prices are high. This is important for the harmonization of interests of all participants not only from the view of individual rationality but also from the systemic one – at the interregional level. The proposed approach is used in the estimation of the scheme of the Kuzbas coal tariffs. It is universal because it is applicable in dealing with such problems for most of transportable cargoes.
