Sažetak
The effects of distance and location of the port regarding the place in the hinterland cause different space and economic relationships between the port and the hinterland. The issue of absolute level of transport costs is included in this interdependence without interest. Decisive for the situation of ports is the height of additional transportation costs (caused by the difference between the optimal and the minimal transport distances) which are compared or opposed to cargo handling costs at ports. The range of additional transportation costs is exclusively dependent on the minimal and optimal distances, which can be influenced either by getting the companies nearer to the port or by shortening the optimal distances. The mechanism of factors that act on the location of seaports, acts in the same way also on the ports. Only the problem of congestion of cargo flows shows certain deviations, i.e. in ports a significant role lies in the competitiveness of land transport. Past research of the hinterland of a port system have mainly referred to the research of the geotraffic position of the port. Therefore, the authors wish to contribute with this work to defining and studying the competitiveness of the port system, i.e. strategic positioning as an instrument in the competition analysis, defining the relation between competitiveness and competition of a port system.
