description The multimodaltransportation of transit cargo issuitable for implementation through Bulgaria in the East-Northwest direction through the sea and river ports of the country as an alternative to the Romanian and Greek routes. Amongthe multimodal routeswith a land legthrough Bulgaria usedand known so far, those via two seaports (Burgas and Varna)and three river ports (Ruse, Svishtov and Vidin)are most suitable. An expert evaluation methodology forselection of the most appropriate routeisdeveloped, includingthe Delphi method. A survey was conducted among 11 highly rankedand internationally recognized Bulgarian experts, known for their exceptional experience in the field of freight forwarding and international cargo transportation through Bulgaria.
