Sažetak
Maritime freight transport in Dalmatian ports is of strategic national and regional importance. However, due to omissions in providing essential investments, it is seriously jeopardized by the limitations of the rail infrastructure on the Lika railroad. These deficiencies are mainly reflected in the higher train costs per transported ton compared to the other routes. It is a direct consequence of unfavorable line topography, limited demand, and high energy consumption of diesel locomotives. The paper examines the competitiveness of rail transport on the Lika railroad line by focusing on the cost of energy used and providing an analysis of the fuel types available to power locomotives. In addition to the lack of competitiveness of diesel-powered freight transport, the extent of savings from electric and hydrogen-powered transportation is notable. The fuel conversion cost and electrification are also mentioned. By introducing green hydrogen production technology, the Republic of Croatia could permanently solve the limitations of rail transport in Dalmatian cities and become a regional leader in hydrogen.
