Sažetak
Due to large capacity of ships, maritime transport has always been a domain media for connecting the whole world. Nowadays, it is the most common form of transport and basis of global trade because of significant economic cost-effectiveness. Seaports are the main traffic junctions which are, at the same time, starting and ending point of every maritime voyage. Therefore, in this scientific article was carried research regarding the management model of seaports and its importance for all stakeholders including. There is no general management model for seaports in the world, neither in the EU. The term "port management" can mean two types of management models: 1) port management (port operations) in the broader sense and 2) port management as the port authority. The second one is in focus of this research. The port authority is mostly state-owned under the direct control of the responsible Ministry or under the local/regional administration. Only a small number of port authorities are privately owned. The basic tasks of the port authority are governance of the port and coordination of the activities of different operators/ concessionaires present in the port. The governance structure of the state-owned port authority is made up of the board of directors and director who is often placed under the political key, so the question is are they independent in port management and motivate for efficient port governance. The subject of this scientific article is to find on the sample of main seaports of the Republic of Croatia (the six state-owned seaports in the cities of Rijeka, Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Ploče and Dubrovnik), the impact of the independence of governance structure in the state owned port authorities on the port governance efficiency.
