Influence of Port Policy on the Development of Croatian Container Ports

It is important to consider the port development throughout the world from the aspect of economical, transport and port policy and their mutual impact on commerce and effciency of ports. By examining such relations in the context of development of the Croatian container ports, it is possible to define reasons for lagging behind of Croatian ports compared to the world movements. The main reasons for the negative trend of development of Croatian container ports lies in the non-existence of adequate measures of transport, maritime amd port policy. Analysis of statistics over the past decade and comparison of structure and volume of the general cargo traffic in the Rijeka port and the neighbouring ports in the area of North Adriatic are both slowing significant size discrepancy and uncompetitiveness of the Croatina port. Disturbances that have brought to such a situation result from inadequate port policy and non-harmonised activities between various modes of transport. In order to overcome such situation, the authors suggest determining of clear tasks, goals and measures of the port policy that have to be undertaken so that the Croatian policy could be compatible with the main aspects, development tendencies and measures of the EU port policy.
