Se estudia una red de transporte combinado en Colombia, con horizonte en el ano 2019, con el proposito de identificar las rutas optimas del carbon desde los distritos de produccion localizados en el interior del pais hasta los puertos maritimos de exportacion. La metodologia utilizada se basa en la busqueda de solucion a un problema de flujo de minimo costo que considera la red de transporte por carretera, la fluvial y ferroviaria, en un modelo que contiene 34.000 km de red representados en 1.864 arcos. El modelo considera nuevas infraestructuras ferroviarias y portuarias y sugiere que se deben transportar los carbones del interior del pais por el puerto de Barranquilla mediante estrategias de integracion ferroviaria-fluvial y carretera-fluvial. Se resalta la importancia del rio Magdalena como infraestructura estrategica de transporte y se identifican tres centros de transferencia de carga localizados en Barrancabermeja, Bocas del Carare y Capulco, que en conjunto llegarian a manejar 18 millones de toneladas de carbon al ano. Abstract: A combined transport network is studied with planning perspective in 2019, in order to identify optimal routes for transporting coal from centrally located sites within Colombia to export ports. Methodology based on the solution to minimum cost flow problem is used, including transport networks: road, river and railway, in a model composed of 34.000 km represented in 1.864 links. Both new rail and new export port infrastructure are included in the model. Model indicates centrally located coal within Colombia must be transported through the port of Barranquilla, using integration strategies, such as rail-river and road-river. The importance of the Magdalena River as strategic transport infrastructure is highlighted and three cargo transfer centers are identified near Barrancabermeja, Bocas del Carare and Capulco, which together could handle 18 million tons of coal per year.
