Quantitative analysis of maritime passenger flows in Europe

Promet predstavlja kamen temeljac europskih integracija te utječe na zapošljavanje i gospodarski rast. Prometom se ostvaruju tri od četiri slobode zajedničkog tržišta koje su utvrđene u Rimskom ugovoru iz 1957. godine : sloboda kretanja ljudi, usluga i robe. Za Europu je brodarstvo bilo jedno od glavnih stupaca ekonomskog rasta i dobrobiti kroz njenu povijest. Usluge pomorskog prometa kroz godine su pomagale europskom gospodarstvu i europskim tvrtkama da se natječu na globalnoj razini. Štoviše, brodarstvo i sve povezane pomorske industrije važan su izvor prihoda i radnih mjesta. Svake godine Europskim pomorskim putničkim tokovima polazi više od četiristo milijuna morskih putnika. Pomorski promet ima izravan utjecaj na kvalitetu života stanovnika otoka i periferne regije. Shodno navedenom ovaj diplomski rad donosi prikaz analize pomorskih putničkih tokova u mediteranskoj i atlantskoj Europi.Transportation is a cornerstone of European integration and it affects it's employment and economic growth. Furthermore, it should be noted that traffic achieves three of the four freedoms of the common market as laid down in the Treaty of Rome of 1957: freedom of movement for persons, services and goods. For Europe, shipping has been one of the main pillars of economic growth and prosperity throughout its history. Over the years, maritime transport services have helped the European economy and companies to compete globally. Moreover, shipping and all related maritime industries are an important source of income and jobs. More than four houndred million seafarers depart for European maritime passenger flows each year. Maritime transport has a direct impact on the quality of life of citizens of the island and peripheral region. Accordingly, this paper presents an overview of the analysis of maritime passenger flows in Mediterranean and Atlantic Europe
