Firstly suggested: the organizational-economic model of interaction between the railroad and port that determines the nature, content and adoption of cost-orientation - appropriate practical solutions for effective functioning of the system, which are based on an estimation potentially possible volumes of transportations and stimulation of increase of the traffic of goods into all-rail-marine connections due to the address investing in the infrastructure of port and railways. Methodical approaches to the evaluation of the interaction of the railroads and seaport by incorporation of high performance joint action of the main factors on the basis of the calculation of synergy are improved.
