Sažetak
Strategically located at the crossroads of regional and international maritime routes, Croatia’s coastline of 5, 835 km (6, 287 km including islands) includes 718 islands (1, 246 with coastal reefs) and is one of the most indented coastal regions in Europe. Croatia has a long maritime tradition and the maritime sector has always played a key role in the economic, trade and social development of the country. Maritime transport is central for connecting Croatia’s islands and improving access and mobility to its citizens. The country has a thriving coastal shipping and nautical tourism industry with over 11 million passengers embarking and disembarking in Croatia’s ports. The country covers a land area of approximately 56, 594 km2 with a coastline of 1, 400 km long (6, 287 km long when counting Croatia’s 1, 246 islands). In this paper Croatian maritime ports are analysed focused on previous investments and current capacities and port services. Main objective of this research was to analyse present Croatian port sector: infrastructure and suprastructure facilities and development plans, port services and related organizational structure for undertake that services, port regionalization possibilities et. al. and problems and obstacles derived from insufficiently developed technical-technological and organizational aspects.
