THE NORTHERN ADRIATIC PORTS AS A DISTRIBUTION CENTERS

Luke Sjevernog Jadrana u ovom diplomskom radu su: Rijeka, Kopar i Trst. Tri najveće sjevernojadranske luke imale su zajedno prošle godine oko 1,66 milijuna TEU-a kontejnerskog prometa i u prosjeku bilježe rast od 15 posto. Uvjerljivo najjača luka je i dalje Kopar, koju slijedi Trst na drugom mjestu. Riječka luka zaostaje za njima, ali zadnjih godina i ona bilježi rast prometa. Sve tri luke sudjeluju u projektu „Razvoj multimodalne povezanosti luka u Sjevernom Jadranu i njihova uspješna integracija u središnju mrežu − Studije NAPA-e“. Riječ je o financijskoj potpori Europske komisije za Udruženje sjevernojadranskih luka, a projekt se financira kroz program TEN-T 2007. - 2013. Cilj je razvoj luka i povezanost pomorskog prometa s drugim granama prometa u transeuropskoj prometnoj mreži. Projektom će se stvoriti ključni preduvjeti za nadogradnju i modernizaciju luka Sjevernog Jadrana kao distribucijskih centara i njihovo bolje prometno integriranje u europski prometni prostor.The Northern Adriatic ports in this graduate thesis are: Rijeka, Koper and Trieste. Three largest Northern Adriatic ports had around 1,66 milion TEUs container traffic last year and recording average growth of 15 percent. Convincingly the strongest port is still Koper, followed by Trieste on the second place. The port of Rijeka is lagging behind them, but in a last several years recording traffic growth. All three ports participate in the project „Development of the multimodal connection of ports in the Northern Adriatic and their successful integration into the central network – studies NAPAs“. It is the financial support of the European Commission for the Association of Northern Ports, and the project is funded through the program TEN-T 2007. – 2013. The aim is to develop the ports and connection maritime traffic with other transport branches in the Trans-European Transport Network. The project will create main preconditions for the upgrading and modernization of North Adriatic ports as distribution centers and their better traffic integration into European traffic space
