Abstract

The scientific task of the research consists in solving the difficult contradiction between the need to decrease the expenses according to the ant-crisis policy on one hand and the necessity to implement innovations for increasing efficiency of supply chain on the other hand. The features of modelling of the process of innovations implementations are studied regarding the seaport as an important element I supply chain infrastructure. Seaports are the main links of the global transport infrastructure. They make it possible to have trade partnership between countries. Here the process of innovation implementation on the example of anti-crisis measures for the ports as institutional and operational clusters is presented. Theoretical framework to conceptualize innovations at a commercial seaport as anti-crisis complex process. The primary objective for the commercial seaport is marine terminals’ modernization through rational distribution of cargo flows and reconstruction of capacities for certain types of cargo. New tools and technologies as well as modern intelligent control systems of industrial and economic processes can add up to the innovative component in the development of the commercial seaport. Active implementation of logistics transport and technological systems is proven to be the most effective route in the field of innovative development.
