Port activities are of great importance in the European Union. In recent times, digitalization of the port business is increasingly present. As technology develops, and the global supply chain becomes increasingly digital, ports are adapting their activities and business models by implementing digital technologies. Thus, ports are becoming ''digital nodes''. The Smart Port model is considered to be the most prominent for the future development of the ports. The European Union institutions and organizations strive to provide the administrative and funding support, to keep up the pace with changes in the port business and implementation of the Smart Port model. In this paper, the role of relevant European Union institutions and organizations in Smart Port implementation is researched. The authors present a review of the relevant EU policies and funding for the implementation of the Smart Port initiatives/projects. Furthermore, the authors present examples of the Smart Port projects.

Ro-Ro technology is freight technology which originated in the 19th century, and which has undergone major development since the Second World War. As the name indicates, a special ramp is used to “roll on” and “roll off” the cargo from and onto the vessel. A Ro-Ro terminal consists of the following elements: a gate, gamma-ray station, weighbridges as well as waiting areas. Since the cargo is loaded and unloaded “on wheels”, logistics services play a major role in Ro-Ro terminal, and complement port operations, distinguishing between the export and import stream. The flow of export and import stream is oppositional. The export starts at the gate of the terminal, while import begins when the vessel is moored. The import and export processes complete a perfect functioning cycle within the port areas. This paper aims at establishing which logistics processes yield maximum efficiency and exploitation of the potential of Ro-Ro terminals. Research results indicate advantages and disadvantages of Ro-Ro technology and how prompt and reliable port services can be ensured.

Republic of Croatia has made National Strategic Development Plan of Fishing according to the regulations of Council Regulation (EZ) num. 1198/2006 about the European Fund for Fishing in which are given strategic and development guidelines for this activity for a period from 2014 to 2020, in harmony with a common fisheries policy. Aim and purpose of this work is to analyze current state of mariculture in the Republic of Croatia and to compaire this activity with other countries in the European Union. Also, the aim of this work is to estimate perspectives of development as well as positioning mariculture in Republic of Croatia within the framework of European Union member states.

The quality of transport service is conditioned by the development of the transport system and the transport infrastructure, which has a direct impact on the economic development of a country or region. The need for improving technical-technological features of the transport route and transport infrastructure has been implemented in national and international traffic strategies with a view to the long-term development of the transport system. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to determine the technical and technological features of the transport routes and their impact on the quality of the service on the appropriate transport route in order to meet the users’ requirements. This paper deals with technical and technological features and the possibility of applying modern transport technologies on the part of the transport route Vb (Zagreb - Rijeka), thus significantly increasing the efficiency, speed and quality of the transport service. The results of the conducted research aim to point out the advantages and disadvantages of Zagreb - Rijeka route, considering its technical and technological features in order to improve the transport service quality.

The present global logistics market differs significantly from the traditional freight forwarding market. Traditionally speaking, the freight forwarding market was predictable and influenced by volume and intensity of global trade, dynamics growth, GDP, industrial production, actual customer and consumer expectations and other relevant indicators. Current logistics market is susceptible to hurried changes and today we can recognize many actual trends in environments which extremely define competitiveness of logistics operators on the global market. Some of them are: sustainable development, fourth industrial revolution, internet of things, digitalization, alliances, great logistics operators against small ones, new customer and consumer expectations. The mentioned terms define a new concept of the logistics freight forwarding operator’s services which has a direct impact on the service quality. Therefore, the main problem in this paper is to analyze and determine the actual indicators of the logistics freight forwarding operator’s service on the competitive logistics market. The aim of this paper is to analyze and provide answers to some of the main questions such as: Which of the actual trends will determine the service quality and competitive perspective of the logistics freight forwarding operator? Which indicators will have a dominant influence on the service quality of the logistics freight forwrding operators? How can these service quality indicators be evaluated and measured? What have the logistics freight forwarding operators to do in the context of these actual trends and environment?

In accordance with the European Union transport policy, external costs have become a new and important factor in cargo flows formation. Shifting the freight from road to railway in order to decrease the external costs is one of the consequences of implementing such a policy. By incorporating the Port of Rijeka into the Adriatic Baltic Transport Corridor, the railway section of the Rijeka-Pivka corridor has gained first-rate significance. Considering external costs, shifting a part of cargo from the corridor section Koper-Divača onto the Rijeka- Pivka section, and modernization the railway of the latter one, has become the common interest of Slovenia and the Republic of Croatia. The increase of cargo flows intensity on this railway route, based on the principles of green logistics, would inevitably lead to the same effects at the Koper-Pivka railway route. Such development would not jeopardize the competitiveness of the Port of Koper, on the contrary, the cargo flows through Slovenia would increase in a short-term period. This approach means a practical realization of the interests for the EU members countries on the Baltic-Adriatic corridor and efforts of the European transport policy, which takes into account the external costs as an innovative approach to the creation of the “green corridors”.

The range of charter services has considerably grown in the Republic of Croatia over the past years. Such a trend indicates further growth in demand for charter services as well as the increase of service interference and coordination activities between nautical tourism ports and charter companies. The purpose of this paper is to identify the areas of interference between charter and nautical service production processes and to determine the significance of service quality in achieving nautical tourism ports competitiveness. The areas of interference have been identified through the nature and facilities of the nautical services that have been researched and described in scientific literature, and the nature and facilities of the charter services that have been examined through the analysis of the management of charter agency Croatia Yachting. The produced research results indicate that the quality of charter services provided in the nautical tourism ports significantly affects their competitiveness in the nautical market.

Sea ports are the key segment of the traffic and economic development of sea countries. Pan-European transport corridors include the most important sea ports and sea routes. They are an extension of existing land corridors. The most important and most promising crossings of traffic corridors between the Central European, Pannonian and Adriatic areas, with the naturally shortest traffic routes directed towards Croatian sea ports are the Corridor 5B ( (Rijeka-Zagreb-Budapest) and Corridor 5C (Ploče-Sarajevo-Osijek-Budapest). The primary purpose of this work is to enquire into the importance of existing trading conditions and new investment undertakings in the context of increase in competitiveness of the ports of Rijeka and Ploče. Authors' attention is particularly directed to the construction of new port terminals to increase the traffic potentials of Croatian sea ports. The formed conception with its characteristics, the methodology applied, and research results represent the quality starting points in determining a uniform port policy of the Republic of Croatia within the European traffic system.

The subject of this paper is to determine the fundamental factors of the quality of maritime transport services and analyse them, all with the aim of meeting the requirements of service users. These factors determine the quality of desired service results amd must be in accordance with the policy of quality that is set at the level of a maritime organization, region or maritime countries in general. Contemporary economic turmoil, the process of globalization, the instability of the world market and the continued pressure of competition lead to strict requirements in terms of quality of services and the creation of the concept of a systematic and managerial approach within the system of maritime transport. The contribution of this work is reflected in the implementation of a systematic approach as the key condition for research and analysis of the factors of quality of maritime transport services in the complex and dynamic system of maritime transport, whose main purpose is to meet the needs and the demands of service users and all participants in the maritime business.

The main objective of this paper is to carry out an analysis of LNG cargo transfer at intermediate locations. Two different ship designs are used for the analysis. In ship-to-ship transfer concept (STS), cargo transfer is performed side-by-side providing a relatively easy and to some extent proven alternative of cargo transfer between two different types/designs of LNG carriers. Shuttle ships should be dimensioned so as to be able to feed the transportation programme, and specifically equipped for ship-to-ship operations. Specially designed cargo equipment on one of the ships could use proven techniques to produce ongoing results on ordinary sized transfer lines. Such an arrangement, e.g. four loading arms, one of which is used for vapour, would represent a considerable investment onboard any ship. Typically, such arms would still be exposed to the relatively high heat transfer through their non-insulated parts as the liquid flows. One of the economic shortcomings is the loss of cargo during the cargo transfer due to an increased boil-off and flash gas. There are no published figures available regarding the cargo loss, but it is assumed to be excessive.

The aim of the study is the comparison of the maritime and transport policies of the EU and the Republic of Croatia, with reference to the usage of the seaborne and inland water traffic as well as the rail traffic as safer, more cost effective, resource efficient and acceptable branches of traffic. To enable fast, efficient and cost effective movement of goods is the central principle of the EU, aimed at dynamic economy and cohesive society. Owing to the elimination of state borders within the EU member states, the volume of over-the-border long distance trade and travelling has grown both in terms of goods and passengers, thus having caused an uneven usage of different traffic branches. With an increasingly growing environmental awareness, great importance has been attached to the usage of more acceptable traffic branches and to the relief in road and airborne traffic that had experienced significant development in the past decade. Rail, inland water and seaborne traffic branches have been leading as the most acceptable environment friendly and economical traffic branches. The EU traffic and maritime strategies being aimed at improving the rail and inland water traffic, the development of the traffic and maritime strategies of the Republic of Croatia should take the same direction as well. Using a comparative analysis of different traffic branches within the transport systems of the EU and the Republic of Croatia, the study aims at pointing to the advantages attaching to the rail and inland water traffic.

The research subject of this paper deals with comparing the seaports of Rijeka and Koper in terms of equipment and productivity of container terminals. New transhipment capacities, optimal acceptance quality at container terminals directly affect the developing growth of container traffic. The increase of seaport traffic is the basis for entering a new investment cycle in order to modernise the existing port facilities and build up new modern terminals. Using calculation of the aggregate index, the level of equipment of the Rijeka port container terminal and the parallel port of Koper has been determined in the observed time interval. Given that the level of seaport equipment has a significant impact on competitiveness between the neighbouring ports, the parametres of subsystem productivity at the pier and on the operational area have been comparatively analysed from the proposed model.

The subject of this paper is to determinate the basic features defining the quality of shipping services and to analyze the assumption underlying the management of quality services in marine cargo shipping.

This port service quality study is an important precondition for an efficient development of port industry and traffic system as a whole. It is due to the complexity of any port, as a system consisting of a large number of stakeholders rendering services to customers with various requirements, that a unique set of port service quality indices has been still missing. For this reason, the paper explains the port service quality concept in compliance with stakeholders and their requirements within the context of port service quality. The aim of the paper is to present a proposal for a customer-based port service quality model based on empirical study and its reliability testing on a selected sample. The proposed model is defined by five factors and fits satisfactorily into the obtained poll questionnaire results. The statistical data processing package SPSS 16.0 and the LISREL 8.54 programme were used in the study.

Luke predstavljaju najvažniju kariku transportnoga, logističkoga i opskrbnoga lanca. Kvaliteta usluge koju pruža luka važan je čimbenik efikasnosti cjelokupnog tijeka kretanja tereta na putu od primatelja do pošiljatelja i konkurentnosti luke na tržištu lučkih usluga. U skladu s tim, svrha i cilj ove doktorske disertacije je u okviru tehničkih znanosti i polja tehnologija prometa i transporta, utvrditi temeljne značajke lučke industrije u prometnom i logističkom sustavu, istražiti osnovne značajke kvalitete lučke usluge te definirati model za mjerenje kvalitete usluge u luci. Sukladno definiranoj svrsi i cilju ovog znanstvenog istraživanja postavljena je znanstvena hipoteza: znanstveno utemeljenim spoznajama o kvaliteti usluge, kvaliteti lučke usluge, zahtjevima korisnika lučke usluge i upravljanju kvalitetom lučke usluge, moguće je postaviti model za njezino pravilno valoriziranje i mjerenje te temeljem dobivenih rezultata predložiti smjernice za unaprjeđenje. Hipoteza je dokazana korištenjem metode multivarijante analize - metode glavnih komponenata i faktorske analize.

Luke su kao karike intermodalnog lanca, izložene sve većoj konkurenciji zbog čega je kvaliteta lučkih usluga uz cijenu postala ključnim čimbenikom funkcioniranja na zahtjevnom i promjenjivom tržištu lučkih usluga. Pružanje kvalitetnih lučkih usluga s obzirom na zahtjeve tržišta, zaštitu okoliša, sigurnost i zahtjeve korisnika, čini bitnu pretpostavku za zadržavanje postojećih i privlačenje novih korisnik, čiji su kvalitativni zahtjevi sve veći. Stoga je osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja utvrditi osnovne značajke i potrebu standardizacije lučkih usluga te smjernice za osiguranje adekvatne razine kvalitete. Sukladno tome, u radu se definiraju teorijske odrednice kvalitete lučke usluge, te prednosti i ciljevi implementacije standarda kvalitete lučke usluge na inermodalnim terminalima. Posebna pažnja usmjerena je na utvrđivanje smjernica za osiguranje kvalitete lučke usluge i intenzitet standardizacijskih aktivnosti u funkciji unapređenja kvalitete usluga na intermodalnim terminalima.

U ovome su radu analizirane osnovne značajke sustava unutarnjeg vodnog prometa i trenutno stanje mreže vodnih putova u Europi u svrhu utvrđivanja potencijalnih mogućnosti za njihovu bolju integraciju u Trans-europsku prometnu mrežu. Komparativne prednosti unutarnjeg vodnog prometa u odnosu na ostale prometne grane prije svega se očituju u pogledu sigurnosti i ekološke prihvatljivosti, zbog čega Europska prometna politika unapređenje ovog vida transporta uz željeznički transport postavlja kao jedan od prioriteta cjelokupnog prometnog sustava. Adekvatan razvitak mreže vodnih putova u skladu sa strategijom razvitka nužan je preduvjet za unapređenje sustava unutarnje plovidbe u Republici Hrvatskoj, koji unatoč prirodnom potencijalu, ima minornu važnost u strukturi ostvarenog prometa. Provedena SWOT analiza predstavlja dobar temelj za utvrđivanje potencijalnih snaga, slabosti, prilika i prijetnji sustava unutarnje plovidbe u Republici Hrvatskoj važnog za uspostavu intermodalnih transportnih lanaca na području Europe. Stoga je cilj ovog rada ukazati na mogućnosti, prednosti i važnost prometa na unutarnjim vodnim putovima, u funkciji integracije različitih prometnih grana s ciljem razvitka i održivosti europskog prometnog sustava.

U ovom je radu prikazana metodologija izbora mogućih atributa koji utječu na percepciju kvalitete lučke usluge. Svrha istraživanja je sažimanje velikog broja atributa kvalitete lučke usluge na manji broj atributa koji se mogu grupirati u zajedničke faktore, što je rezultiralo strukturnim modelom kojeg se jednostavnije može protumačiti i testirati na konkretnom primjeru. Autori su postavili hipotezu da prikazani atributi najbolje objašnjavaju dvije dimenzije kvalitete lučke usluge: pouzdanost i kompetentnost. Metodom glavnih komponenata napravljen je optimalan izbor atributa, a eksploratornom faktorskom analizom distribucija atributa po faktorima. Primjenom konfirmativne faktorske analize definiran je strukturni model za koji je utvrđena prilagodljivost rezultatima provedene ankete na uzorku studenata Pomorskog fakulteta u Rijeci., The methods of choosing the possible attributes affecting the perception of the port service quality are presented in this paper. The purpose of the study is to reduce a great number of the port service quality attributes to a smaller number of attributes, grouped in common factors. Thus, a structural model, much easier to be explained and tested on the concrete example, has been obtained. The hypothesis is put forward stating that the two dimensions of the port service quality: reliability and competence are best explained by the attributes presented. An optimal selection of attributes has been made by the principal component analysis, while the attribute distribution has been obtained by the exploratory factor analysis. The confirmative factor analysis has been used to define the structural model, adaptable to the results of the questionnaire submitted to the sample of students of the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Rijeka, Croatia.

Brze promjene potaknute tehnološkim unapređenjima i intenziviranje korištenja luka kao logističkih središta u cjelokupnom transportnom i logističkom lancu potaknulo je sve veću konkurenciju između luka. Kvaliteta lučkih usluga uz cijenu postala je ključnim čimbenikom funkcioniranja luka i održavanja njezinog položaja na zahtjevnom i promjenjivom tržištu lučkih usluga. Istraživanja na temu kvalitete lučke usluge čija je svrha mjerenje kvalitete u skladu s potrebama i zahtjevima korisnika vrlo su rijetka, što je razvidno na temelju dostupne domaće i strane znanstvene literature. Cilj ovog rada je ukazati na važnost utvrđivanja kvalitete lučke usluge, kao pretpostavke uspješnog razvoja lučke industrije i prometnog sustava u cjelini, koja prije svega zahtjeva definiranje dimenzija kvalitete. Kompleksnost luke s obzirom na veliki broj zainteresiranih skupina i usluga koje pružaju, otežava definiranje jedinstvenog seta dimenzija. Iako se kvaliteta može analizirati s različitih aspekata, u ovom radu predloženi set dimenzija kvalitete lučke usluge identificirat će se prema potrebama i zahtjevima korisnika lučke usluge.

Management of sea passenger ports have been determined by sequences of circumstances closely connected with the complex function of any port ; together with its reflection on traffic and economic system. Each of those principles has certain impact on development, management and evaluation of a port in different stages of growth. However, all the results that are gained are presenting evaluations and ratings of each port individually and those results and ratings are crucial in traveler’ s decision of which sea passenger port he/she should take. All those principles that are used for evaluation of a port are used as well for establishing travel routs, in fact its departure and arrival point. The importance of those departure and arrival points is dissimilar for each port and it is also possible that in different stages of development those points can increase or decrease its importance. Very often it is likely to happen that those principles have positive impact and in some other stage it can have negative reflection on the port. Numerous principles for development and management of sea passenger ports in Republic of Croatia are not applied in all the stages of port’ s existence. The problem of sea passenger ports is frequently consider as the forgotten issue which is one of the vital parts of whole national economic with very high multiply effects and possible results. The purpose of this work is SWOT analyzes which is providing clear picture that successful managing of ports comes throughout balanced efforts and achievements of town, region and a country as a whole. The purpose of this paper is to analyze all the possibilities and steps that have to be taken in order to determine advantages and disadvantages of not just port but of the town where port is located as well. It has to be investigated what is having impact on the town, its attractions and possibility for successful running of a port. Except well known elements which are location, natural characteristics of a port, organization of work, (… ), the measures of the port’ s politics are applying on further analyzes and evaluations of completely new principles such as: resources, tourist offers, structure, public sectors and town’ s future planning, communication, image and trends. The results of the survey are applying that management of the sea passenger ports should be run in a way to create a system which would continue to develop all the principles that are tightly connected to the port’ s functioning and all that in order to form a port which would be major factor to transform not just the town where the port is located but the whole region and more.

Strategija razvitka Republike Hrvatske zahtijeva brzo i efikasno integriranje u europsku prometnu mrežu, razvijajući prometni sustav kompatibilan s europskim prometnim sustavom u skladu sa zahtjevima ekonomskog razvoja. Takva strategija razvoja prometnog sustava orijentirana je u prvom redu na primjenu novih tehnologija i izgradnju mreže terminala, što je od osobitog značenja za povezivanje hrvatskoga i europskoga lučkog sustava. Tehnička osnova planiranja RO-RO terminala, namijenjenih suvremenim transportnim tehnologijama, uključuje brojne mjere koje prethode izgradnji terminala s ciljem utvrđivanja i usklađivanja tehničkih, tehnoloških i informacijskih mogućnosti svih sudionika u transportnom lancu. Jedna od povoljnijih destinacija za izgradnju RO-RO terminala na jadranskoj obali nalazi se na prostoru bivše koksare u Bakru. Izgradnji RO-RO terminala u Bakru treba prethoditi kvalitetna analiza geografskog i geo-prometnog položaja, prirodnih pogodnosti i klimatskih uvjeta, postojećih lučko-pomorskih i infrastrukturnih objekata Bakarskog zaljeva te mogućih tehničko-tehnoloških rješenja. Uz te pokazatelje potrebno je sagledati mogućnosti prilagodbe cestovne infrastrukture i suprastrukture, te pravnu, ekološku i gospodarsku opravdanost izgradnje i eksploatacije RO-RO terminala u Bakru. Izgradnja RO-RO terminala u Bakru pretpostavka je boljeg prometnog povezivanja Hrvatske i europskih zemalja, a opravdano je uvođenjem novog intermodalnog pravca na relaciji susjedne zemlje-Bakar— Chioggia.

The paper aims at analysing the basic characteristics and goals of the EU port policy and at suggesting the port policy concept that will pave the way for the development of the Croatian port system on a long- term and well-defined basis. Since the coordination and harmonization of Croatian and European port policy is a must, this paper methodically analyses the reason for lagging behind of Croatian port system and emphasizes the necessary prerequisites and measures which sholud become the guidelines of the new port policy in approaching the requirements and tendencies of the European port system development. The result obtained indicate the need for a different approach, suggesting an adequate concept and appropriate measures that will make the Croatian port system compatible with the port systems of the countries of the EU.

U radu su analizirane temeljne značajke i ciljevi, te predložena koncepcija i mjere lučke politike koja će dugoročno i osmišljeno usmjeravati razvitak hrvatskog lučkog sustava. Zbog neophodnog usklađivanja hrvatske i europske lučke politike, u radu su sustavno analizirani uzroci zaostajanja hrvatskog lučkog sustava, te istaknute nužne pretpostavke i mjere koje trebaju biti smjernice nove lučke politike u približavanju zahtjevima i tendencijama razvoja europskog lučkog sustava. Rezultati ovog rada upućuju na nužnost drugačijeg pristupa s prijedlogom odgovarajuće koncepcije i mjera koje će lučki sustav učiniti kompatibilnim s lučkim sustavima zemalja EU.

Management of port transhipment systems refers to the selection of management activities from the approved management activities menu and their realisation. Management of container terminal transhipment processes requires not only the presence of the human factor but also successful planning, organisation and control of management activities. Given the need for fast transhipment and measurement of large container vessels reaching up to 8000 TEUs, these processes are more complex where large-sized container terminals are concerned, requiring new design of container crane performances and integral control of the whole transhipment process performance. New transhipment concepts concerning large container vessels are aimed at achieving a completely automated transhipment process, based on information technology backup and conventional control practices. The paper has included a research and analyses of possibilities for upgrading of transhipment processes at container terminals, and a concept proposal regarding an automated management of transhipment processes involving large container vessels.

The problems regarding identification and definition of models of functional requirements of the human factors in ITS directly determine the safety and security of intelligent transport. This work considers the functional properties of human factors in ITS depending on the external impacts and their intensity, and the alternative way of behaviour and action in accordance with the variability range of functional properties. The complexity of human aspect of ITS is presented with special emphasis on establishing and active relationship of humans as participants and components within the environment initiating and enabling implementation of ITS providing safety to the participants. The results of research are presented in graphical form through diagrams and the material presented in the work can be used methodologically and technically as a guideline in the study of e-safety.
