Possible models of county sea port management in the Republic of Croatia

By applying appropriate measures and programmes, the State can either encourage or slow down the development of the port system, thus consequently causing faster or slower integration of the Country in global traffic and economic trends. The establishment of county port authorities represents one of such measures which create economic, legal and theoretical prerequisites for the development of county and national ports systems as well as the development of individual ports within the system. The results of researches concerning the operation of county port authorities in the Republic of Croatia have indicated certain shortcomings. In order to eliminate the detected shortcomings and to improve the management, this paper presents different organizational solutions for the county sea ports management in the Republic of Croatia on the example of the PG (Primorsko-goranska) county. The paper deals in particular with the analysis of organizational, economic and theoretical fetures of each particular management model herein presented, aiming at detecting both their advantages and shortcomings. The scientific contribution of the paper is featured by the original models of the county sea ports management proposed, identification of all relevant model elements and by measures and activities proposed for the solution of matters concerning the importance, development and efficient operation of county sea ports.
