CONTAINER TRANSPORT FLOWS AS A PREREQUISITE FOR DETERMINATION OF INLAND TERMINAL LOCATION

Container cargo flows in the Republic of Croatia have been insufficiently explored, as well as the quantity and destination of containerized cargo flows between the port of Rijeka and its hinterland. This paper defines containerized cargo flows between the port of Rijeka and its hinterland destinations by road and rail transport means. Based on the analysis of container cargo flows the potential location for inland terminal construction is defined in terms of shifting of container flows from road to rail
