Evaluation of legal and institutional implementation of landlord port model in the function of Croatian inland port system management

The Act on Inland waterway navigation and ports from 1998, and later with amendments during year 2007 has taken over, similarly to the maritime ports, the so called «landlord» model of port system management. Nevertheless, it was necessary to change the landlord model due to technical and technological specificities that characterize inland ports and piers. For legal and institutional implementation of the landlord model it was essential to establish the Port Authority as a regulatory body of total activities, operations as well as port development policy. Arguments were presented that favor the chosen model of port management. With regard to the permanent development of the port system, legal and institutional implementation is shown in three stages: restructuring of the landlord port management model, transitional period of professionalization and improvement of efficiency of the port authority, as well as evaluation of ongoing model implementation on the basis of issued concessions and/or permissions for carrying out activities in the port area of inland ports opened for international transport.
