Strategic planning for development of the port of Vukovar

Since the foundation of port authorities, significant funds have been invested in planning and development of the Port of Vukovar. Comparing the amount and structure of transshipped cargo through years with the condition of the port infrastructure and superstructure indicates the degree of systematic quality in planning and management of the port development. The trend of making investments in infrastructure, superstructure and equipment of the Port of Vukovar can be compared and functionally related to the trend of change in the total volume and structure of the traffic, and it also allows projection of future trends. The level of utilization of transhipment capacity makes investment into these capacities justifiable. Strategic development of traffic is guided by legislation, and Port Authorities founded by the state govern inland waterway ports through development and realization of development plans, and they supervise construction and maintenance of port infrastructure. The activities of the port operators in ports are regulated by concession contracts which they obtained based on their work programs. Analysis of the port operator work programs points to potential causes of their incomplete realization. The other factor indicating lack of systematic strategic planning and management of port development is a politically conditioned change in the way of financing of development at the moment when significant funds have been invested in making of development plans and studies according to international lending standards.
