SELECTION OF A NATIONAL METHODOLOGY BASED ON INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN CALCULATING THE LEVEL OF CONTAINERIZATION

Abstract:

This article analyzes international methods used to determine the level of containerization and examines their potential application in the transport and logistics industry of Uzbekistan. The study compares the strengths and weaknesses of existing structures, especially the availability of data, the level of development of operational processes and infrastructure. One of the most important conclusions of the report is the adaptation of international methods to Uzbekistan's unique logistics system. The main conclusions indicated that, while the share of TEU and throughput efficiency are globally recognized indicators, the methodological approaches for their application in Uzbekistan need to be revisited and improved data collection systems should be implemented. The study concludes with practical recommendations for the Ministry of Transport and relevant agencies. These include testing adapted measuring instruments in logistics centers, incorporating key containerization indicators into national documents, such as the Transport Strategy until 2035, and building institutional capacity for evidence-based decision-making. In turn, the promotion of the containerization initiative in Uzbekistan will be carried out by adapting international best practices to national interests and the modern environment. This study provides accurate data for determining the level of containerization and conducting statistical analysis.
