The article presents a brief study of the process of integration in the sphere of transport communication within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union and other Euro-Asian projects connected to it. Principles, priorities and mechanisms of Eurasian transport integration as implemented now are outlined. Concrete integration measures in transport sphere are considered in relation to international legal documents being passed.

The paper provides a critique of basic framework of Russian Federation's Air Navigation Plan project. The conclusion reached is that an attempt to use a single technology for all types of aviation in Russia, without accounting for their technological and economic particularities, is unjustified and looks like direct lobbying for exclusive interests of specific industrial giants.

The paper proposes a solution to the problem of improving the state system of ensuring traffic safety by putting its internal functional organisation and mechanism of ensuring traffic safety into correspondence with systemic approach recommended by the state traffic safety strategy. Reasons for the failure of the existing state system to ensure protection and health of the citizens in traffic environment are explained. Examples of implementation of systemic approach to managing ensuring traffic safety systems are presented.

The paper evaluates the degree of correspondence of the state of hydrographic exploration of the Northern Sea Route water area bed to the requirements of the existing advanced seaborne transportation projects. Recommendations for bringing the level of the state of hydrographic exploration into correspondence to the requirements of navigation safety of large capacity shipping in implementation of advanced projects.

Suggestions on currently central directions for perfecting the federal system of search and rescue support of maritime activities are justified on the basis of analysis of regulatory and technical and organisational documents on various aspects of functioning of the search and rescue system and conditions for conducting rescue operations in Russian Federation's Arctic zone.

The paper provides an analysis of the problem of distortion of market price signals resulting from consolidation of producing firms. Graphic models characterising consequences of such distortion are presented. Possibilities for reducing distortions of market signals resulting from increase in the share of mid-sized and small businesses, turning large businesses into holdings, use of outsourcing and process-based management are analysed. The conclusion that the main solution of this problem is reducing of vertical interactions and predominance of horizontal interactions in the process of producing goods and services is justified.

Spending on maintenance and utilisation of traction rolling stock is a major part of rail companies' expenses. The article proposes options for efficient use of locomotives not only during train runs but also during shunting. System of estimated rates for shunting which accounts for consistent patterns of stochastic allocation of the process operations length is improved for that purpose.

The paper presents results of a study of dry-cargo freighters of mixed river-sea navigation with different hull fullness to determine the influence of hull fullness coefficient on self-cost of cargo being transported. On the basis of results of towing tests of a large number of ship models followed by economic analysis of self-cost it is shown that hulls with Sw fullness coefficient of between 0.87 and 0.90 are most practical in use. Results of the study are recommended for use in selecting the most rational value of the mixed-navigation vessels at early stages of design process.

The paper presents an analysis of implementation of a plan of action aimed ay simplifying the order of transportation of goods through the Eurasian Economic Union customs border on the example of the Baltic Customs Office of St Petersburg's Grand Port. The plan was approved by order of the Russian Federation government № 1125-r issued on June 29, 2012. Results of implementation of information technologies such as electronic submission of transit declarations, autosubmission of goods declaration and autorelease of goods, and the operation of electronic declaration centre, are outlined.

Analysis of an economic problem in transporting passengers by motor transport on regular routes with regulated tariffs is carried out. A method for solving the problem of unprofitability of such transportation is suggested. Main attention is focused on the need to determine the initial maximum contract price on the basis of transportation cost.

The paper offers an analysis of LNG as fuel for water transport from the position of evaluation of efficiency of operation of marine engine package and ensuring environmental safety. The question of transferring marine power systems to gas is solved in principle but the technology for bunkering vessels with LPG and of keeping it on board primarily for ships that are not LNG carriers has to be perfected. The article sums up existing international practice and evaluates perspectives for developing refuelling ships and onshore bunker terminals.
