North adriatic ports association

Jadransko more predstavlja najuvučeniji dio mora u kopno i zbog toga je od velike važnosti za zemlje u unutrašnjosti Europe. Na sjevernom dijelu Jadrana svojom se veličinom i prometom ističu luke Ravenna, Venecija, Trst, Kopar i Rijeka. One predstavljaju početak prometnog koridora koji vodi u unutrašnjost kontinenta. Putem njih zemlje centralne Europe mogu sudjelovati u globalnoj trgovini. Uz to, luke imaju redovite pomorske veze sa Srednjim i Dalekim Istokom. Luke su se paralelno razvijale dugi niz godina, razapete između međusobne suradnje i natjecanja. Naposlijetku osnivaju međunarodno udruženje u svrhu opstanka i višeg položaja na visokokonkuretnom europskom tržištu. Glavni cilj organizacije je natjecanje na lokalnoj i suradnja na internacionalnoj razini.The Adriatic Sea is the most indented part of the sea inland and is therefore of great importance for the countries in the interior of Europe. In the northern part of the Adriatic, the ports of Ravenna, Venice, Trieste, Koper and Rijeka stand out for their size and traffic. They represent the beginning of a traffic corridor leading into the interior of the continent. Through them, Central European countries can participate in global trade. In addition, the ports have regular maritime connections with the Middle and Far East. Ports have been developing in parallel for many years, torn between mutual cooperation and competition. Eventually, they founded an international association for the purpose of survival and a higher position in a highly competitive European market. The main goal of the organization is competition at the local level and cooperation at the international level
