Analysis of the traffic demand for Brajdica and Kopar container terminal services

Svaka država zasniva se na ekonomskoj moći, potražnji, ponudi i razmjeni dobara. Stoga se mnoga poduzeća odlučuju na nabavu materijala i robe iz zemalja trećeg svijeta i to pomorskim putevima zbog iznimne ekonomičnosti i sigurnosti kao i samog poslovanja svog poduzeća uz što manje nabavne troškove. Položaj riječkog kontejnerskog terminala, kao i onog u Kopru, je od iznimnog značaja za veći dio Europe, pogotovo jugoistočnu i srednju Europu za luku Rijeka te Kopar za centralnu Europu. Iako su prometi ovih dviju luka u velikoj oscilaciji, luka Kopar tri je puta veća luka po pretovarenim TEU-u jedinicama, a ima i više izvoza, pogotovo u automobilskoj industriji. U radu se istražuje i uspoređuje promet navedenih dviju luka, analizira se kretanje prometa u ovisnosti o raznim utjecajnim čimbenicima te daje prognoza za određeno razdoblje.Every country is based on economic power, demand, supply and exchange of goods. Therefore, many companies decide to purchase materials and goods from third world countries by sea because of the exceptional economy and safety, as well as the operation of their company with as little procurement costs as possible. The location of the container terminal in Rijeka, as well as the one in Kopar, is of exceptional importance for most of Europe, especially Southeastern and Central Europe for the port of Rijeka, and for Kopar Central Europe. Although the traffic of these two ports fluctuates greatly, Kopar is three times the port in terms of transhipped TEU units, and there are more exports, especially in the automotive industry. The paper investigates and compares the traffic of the mentioned two ports, analyzes the movement of traffic depending on various influencing factors, and gives a forecast for a certain period
