Abstract

Nowadays, the growing demand for intermodal food transport is observed. During transportation of food products the ensuring of special storage conditions inside refrigerated containers is required. These products may lose their quality during transportation process under risk factors influence. Different methods could be applied for risk analysis and prevention, however, forwarders sill face challenges while planning transport chains of food in refrigerated containers. The article aims to present the integrated approach for planning of intermodal food transport chains considering risk factors influence. It was proposed to analyze different risk factors influence on cargo quality during implementation of particular links of intermodal transport chains, as well as integrate different risk assessment approaches and methods within one decision-making tool. Additionally, the opinions of forwarders operating in Poland on risk factors occurrence were considered. It was stated that due to forwarder’s opinion, refrigerated containers handling at seaports is dealing with the highest risk of cargo quality loss. The research results allow to improve information analysis and decision-making processes related to shaping and planning of intermodal transport chains implemented for food products deliveries.
