Sažetak
The functioning of the entire cargo flow process within a transport system lies on the assumption that the operation of all the factors involved in the transport chain has been analysed with a view to bringing them in harmony and obtaining a competitive price and a high quality transportation service. Within the narrow catchment area, the ports of Trieste, Koper, and Rijeka have operated as competitors. All of them gravitate to the same natural hinterland, yet each of them operating on the market with quite a different approach. In assessing the competitiveness of a certain transportation route involving hub ports, land communications with the hinterland, and size of the catchment area, factors like port charges, inland transport charges, and time required are considered essential determinants for the selection of an optimum transportation route. With a view to assessing the overall competitiveness of a certain port with regard to various factors involved (port charges, railway transport charges, and time required), and comparing it with another port's competitiveness level, it has been proposed in this paper that a collective competitiveness index be introduced. The model is aimed at sorting out most competitive ports according to certain sorts of goods on selected transportation routes.
