2. Content • Terminology • Examples for understandingtheterminology • Systemelements • Criteria for thesustainableserviceimplementation

3. CHARACTERISTICS • Regularity, • Frequency, • Reliability, • HighQuality, • Integrationintodoor-to-doorlogisticchain.

4. Successcriteria of sss/MoS • Price – Costof maritime transport combinedwith road transport from origin to destination must be competitive incomparisonto road „door-to-door” serviceswithout the usageof maritime transport. • Departure/Arrival Schedule – exacttimesofdepartureandarrival must bedefinedandannounced. • Reliability– departuresandarrivals must bereliable as definedandannounced. No deviations are allowedregardlessofthereason, includingadverseweatherconditions. • Transit time– maritimetransit time combinedwith a road transport „door-to-door” service must besimilar to theroad transport transit time ofthe same service. • Portefficiency– portefficiency is reflected in the speed of loading or unloading,high level of security, avoiding bureaucracy, low costs, 24-hour working time andgood connectionswith the inlandmodes of transportation. • Shipcourtesy (commodity) – withRO-ROtechnologies, truck drivers require commodityin terms of cabinswith a bathroom and restaurantswhich areincluded in the price.

Infrastructurecriteria • Infrastructurecriteriawith sub-criteria: • Group ofsub-criteria,port availability with sub-criteria: • direct connection with the railway infrastructure, • direct connection to the motorway network, • safetyfactoron the railway infrastructure, • maintenanceofrailway infrastructure • maintenanceofroad infrastructure, • railway infrastructure capacity, • road infrastructurecapacity; • Group of sub-criteria for infrastructureandactivities on theland side ofthe terminal and sub-criteria: • condition and capacity of the road infrastructure for externalvehicles, • condition and capacity of the road infrastructure for internal vehicles, • capacity of parking spaces, • existence Terminal Operating System, • port equipment for handlingofcontainers and vehicles; • Group ofinfrastructure sub-criteriaand activities on the seaside of the terminal: • seadepth, • priority at shipacceptanceinregularservice, • exemption for the use of pilots, • exemption for the use of tugs;

7. Criteria for interactionwithvarious transport modes • Criteria for interactionwithvarious transport modeswith sub-criteria: • Group of sub-criteria of interactionswithshipservices: • Number of SSS services, • Number of regularshippingbranchoffices; • Group of sub-criteria of interactionswithrailway transport: • Numberofblocktrainservices, • Numberofoperatorsinthecountry; • Interactionwithroad transport; • Group of sub-criteria for informationanddocumentexchange: • Existenceofportcommunicationservice, • Exsitenceofpriority status;

9. Multi-criteriaanalysis • Scenario • Criteria • Value of eachcriteria • Multi-criteriaanalysis • Results/conclusions

10. MCA – Scenario 1 • Scenariobased on independentports model: • Rijeka, • Zadar, • Šibenik, • Split, • Ploče i • Dubrovnik.

11. MCA – Scenario2 • Scenariobased on nationallygroupedports: • Portof Rijeka as a separate unit, • Portsof Central Dalmatian, Zadar, Šibenik i Split, • PortsofSouthDalmatia, Ploče i Dubrovnik.

12. MCA – Scenario 3 • Scenariobased on regionallygroupedports: • North Adriatic PortsVenice, Trieste, Kopar and Rijeka, • Central DalmatianportsZadar, Šibenik i Split, i • SouthDalmatianports Ploče i Dubrovnik.

13. MCA – Scenario4 • Scenariobased on thesingle port model – port of Rijeka: • Rijeka as a nationallyprioritisedport for theMotorwaysoftheSeaservices

14. MCA – Scenario 5 • Scenariobased on thetwoports model - Rijeka i Ploče: • Portsof Rijeka and Ploče are equallydevelopedandhavethe same status for thecontainerandRO-RO transport.

15. MCA – Scenario 6 • Scenariobased on the „simpleports“ model: • Theoreticallyset port of Zadar as the port thatfunctionsbythe „simpleports” model on theterritory of thenewcontainerand RO-RO port inGaženica.

19. Value of eachcriteria • Identifiedscenarios are analysed on severaldifferentcombinationsandlevelsofdifficultyofcriteriaand sub-criteria. Ranking is performedincluding: • Onlyinfrastructurecriteria, • Onlyinteractioncriteriawithdifferentmodes of transport, • Onlyadministrativeandpoliticalcriteria, • Simultaneousinfluencesofinfrastructureandinteractioncriteriawithdifferentmodesof transport, • Simultaneousinfluencesofinfrastructure,administrativeandpoliticalcriteria, • Simultaneousinfluencesofadministrativeandpolitical as well as interactioncriteriawithdifferentmodesof transport and • Simultaneousinfluencesofadministrativeandpolitical, infrastructureandinteractioncriteriawithdifferentmodesof transport.

20. Results

21. conclusions • Currentmodel of the Croatiantransport and port systemfunctioningis completely inappropriate for the development and implementation of a sustainable Motorways of theSeasystemandit isthe worst solution in relation to all identifiedmodels. • Optimalsolutionwouldbedevelopment of a singleport and a gravity transport infrastructureaccording to the„simpleports” model. • IncasetheRepublic of Croatia decided to ignoredevelopment of theMotorwaysoftheSeaandincaseitsdevelopment is leftto transport operators, ideal model wouldberegionallygroupedports model. This model considerscoordinationand a joint work ofportsystemsinseveralcountries, andobjectively, exceptinthecaseofthe same owners, functioningofcommonportsystems is hard to implement. • IncasetheRepublic of Croatia decidedto activelyparticipateinthedevelopment of thesustainableMotorwaysoftheSeasystem, individually or incoordinationwith transport operators, twoportssystem is optimal. This model presumesspecialisationandpreferanceofthesetwoports, byfocusinginfrastructureinvestmentsintotheseportswhileotherportsconsciousllyfocus on developmentofothertypesoffreightandprivateinvestments.
