TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MULTIPURPOSE TERMINAL IN THE PORT OF RIJEKA

        The paper aims at analysing the traffic, technical, technological and ecological conditions for the reconstruction of the Zagreb wharf and the construction and functioning of the multipurpose terminal in the port of Rijeka.
        The results of the analysis have shown that the reconstruction of the wharf and the construction of a new multipurpose terminal can be made by embanking the seashore and by substituting those areas used today by different industries with new ones.
         Since the reconstruction of the wharf and the construction of the multipurpose terminal take place within the very heart of the City of Rijeka, the authors of this paper give a special emphasis to the estimate of their effect on the environment and on the fulfilment of the ecological conditions as to the construction and operation of the multipurpose terminal.

Key words: the port of Rijeka, the Zagreb wharf, reconstruction, multipurpose terminal, technical and technological conditions, traffic conditions, ecological conditions, effect on the environment, traffic solution

INTEGRAL APPROACH TO THE ANALYSIS OF THE LAND TRAFFIC CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PORT OF RIJEKA AND THE HINTERLAND

        The significant elements in determining the competitiveness of a specified traffic route and the largeness of the gravitational area are distance, time and cost of the land transport. Therefore, this paper aims at analysing the competitiveness of the Rijeka traffic route and the corresponding land infrastructure, taking into consideration the distance, time and tariff components of the railway cargo transport. Although this analysis can be carried out separately for each component, here it is carried out by an integral approach which, in determining the optimum transport route, takes into consideration the simultaneous influence of all three components. The results of this analysis show the largeness of the gravitational area of the port of Rijeka and that of the competitive ports (Koper, Triest and Hamburg) when their shared transit market (Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) is in question and when the used criterions of competitiveness are the optimum distance, time and cost of the railway transport.

Key words: the Rijeka traffic route, railway transport, gravitational area, integral approach

ABOUT THE WORLD CONTAINER FLEET

        The idea of integrating cargo has appeared as a result of considering seriously to reduce the costs of cargo packing and the time required for cargo loading into and unloading from the primary means of transport within the integrated and multimodal transport chain. From the commercial point of view, a container is the most successful unit for integrating cargo packing so far. Consequently, the container fleet and container ships, as the most important means of transport in the international cargo traffic, are particularly interesting to be analyzed and compared with other merchant fleets.
         The paper aims at presenting a brief survey of the development of the container fleet from the very beginning up to the year 2001. Due to an intensified development of the fleet in the last decade, a particular emphasis has been put on the analysis of the container fleet covering the period from 1992 to 2001, using descriptive statistics.

THE GLOBAL TRENDS AND OUTLOOKS OF LINER SHIPPING

        This paper aims at analyzing the world liner shipping trends and outlooks at the beginning of the new century. The liner shipping sector expands today as a consequence of the numerous, fast development of containerized industry worldwide. Thus, the majority of the transported cargo in liner shipping includes containerized cargo and the liner shipping fleet is mostly represented by fully containerized ships. Furthermore, liner shipping companies continuously increase their container fleet, mainly with large container ships. It is also evident that these companies have a strong tendency of a mutual association to provide stronger operations at the market. Finally, ports are faced with a need of developing due to the expansion of the container shipping industry and especially due to the introduction of very large container ships in the liner fleet.

Key words: liner shipping, container ships, companies concentration activities, ports development.

DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING IN OPTIMIZING THE TRANSPORT OF CONTAINERS BY SEA

        U radu je prikazana primjena dinamickog programiranja u optimizaciji prijevoza kontejnera brodom. To je jedan od problema prijevoza tereta koji se odnosi na prijevoz razlicitih vrsta tereta iz jednog ishodišta do jednoga ili više odredišta. Matematicki model prikazanog problema ima nelinearnu funkciju cilja i linearna ogranicenja, te je za dobivanje optimalnog rješenja odabrana metoda dinamickog programiranja.

Key words: dynamic programming, transport of containers by sea
