Sažetak
Quite a number of scientific and technical papers have been written about the elements and the factors of the port system operation in the developed maritime countries. The study of a port system may be based on the research of the traffic, commercial and industrial role separately, or in an integrated approach of the technical, technological, organisational, economic, ecological and legal elements. The drawbacks of both approaches come to the fore if one studies the competitiveness of the port system as the end goal of the port functioning which also determines the operation of the port system subjects. A comprehensive study of the competitiveness of the Croatian port system must combine the study and research of the possibilities of short sea shipping integration in the European maritime countries, especially regarding the Croatian integration into the European Union. From the Croatian aspect, the term as accepted by the MMTPR, "međuobalno prometno povezivanje" (in English: Short sea shipping) has multiple meaning, and this is primarily the traffic connection of the Croatian and Italian coasts, redirection of a part of cargo transported from the European Union to the countries of the South-eastern Balkan, via Croatia, reduction of harmful emissions in traffic and increase of traffic in domestic ports. "Međuobalna plovidba" (Eng. intercoastal navigation) refers to the movement of goods and passengers by sea between the ports located in Europe or between these ports and those outside Europe having the sea border with Europe. The goal of introducing short sea shipping is to alleviate the burden on the European road routes and to redirect the transport of part of the cargo and passengers to sea transport ; and furthermore, the improvement of the traffic connections between Croatia and the European Union and connecting of the Danube and the Adriatic.
