Abstract: Recent trends in the global economy, growing demand by producers, distributors and consumers, increasing competitive pressure in all market actors, which undoubtedly implies the need for implementing new strategies and a higher level of effective planning, coordination and cooperation between national economies and companies worldwide. In this regard, particular question is how to improve conditions in those economies that have no direct outlet to the sea, and thus lead to a situation of "geographical handicap" in terms of countries with direct access to the marine waterways. Despite the fact that all developing countries have some way to go to economic and social welfare, the landlocked states have done worse as a result of their distinctive geographic handicaps. Landlocked countries not only face the challenge of long distance and isolation, but also the challenges that result from a dependence on passage through a sovereign transit country, one through which trade from a landlocked country must pass in order to access international shipping markets. Most discussions suggest that there is a complex relationships between landlocked countries i.e. transport isolation from world markets and economic growth and logistics costs. High logistics costs often depend from one side the poor road infrastructure but other side from mostly low level of logistics management and predictability which itself stem mostly from rent-seeking and governance issues that increase uncertainty along logistics chains.
