The article outlines the specific features of intensive development of the theory of logistics and supply chain management in modern Russia contributing to the widespread introduction of logistics management in enterprises and organizations in various sectors of the economy, which determines the need to clarify the conceptual framework, taking into account the industry characteristics of market entities. The study of the modern conceptual and terminological apparatus of logistics made it possible to clarify the concepts of cargo flow, ship flow, flow of logistics services, logistics flow of the seaport in relation to the seaport. The classification of these flows by a number of features is presented and their parameters are refined. Freight flows in the seaport are classified according to the following criteria: attitude to the port's logistics system, type of cargo, cargo compatibility, transshipment options. The parameters of the seaport's cargo traffic are considered: volume of cargo transshipment by type for a certain period of time, area of warehouses, capacity of tanks for storing cargo, overall, weight and physicochemical characteristics of the cargo. The traffic flows are characterized by such parameters as a number of calls, time horizons of loading or unloading, vessel idle time, laydays, average gross tonnage per call, gross tonnage of vessels, etc. Information and financial flows in relation to the seaport have been systematized. There are listed the functions of the seaport as a transport and logistics complex in accordance with the Merchant Shipping Code and the Statute of FSUE Rosmorport: production, organizing, innovation, environmental, planning and servicing. A business model of the cargo flow of a seaport is proposed, which details its structure and allows to regulate the interaction of subjects of the micrologistic system of the port. Logistics services provided by logistics intermediaries in the seaport are systematized, their content characteristics are specified; the place and role of logistics services in the management system of the seaport are determined.
