Ports are important hubs that have positive impacts on the regions they serve, but they also pose some challenges that need to be addressed. Many ports around the world have aligned their development strategies with the concept of green growth; however, the green and efficient performance of ports does not only depend on the port management itself; some elements need to be negotiated and approved by local and national governments. One of such elements is road port access. We investigated the impact of port gate location and port gate procedures on port’s performance by examining the case of the Adriatic port of Koper, the only Slovenian international cargo port. We found that significant external costs are incurred due to a non-optimized situation caused by the lack of coordination and cooperation on all levels, although the port of Koper is one of European core ports. Further, delayed digitalization of port gate procedures caused by port management adds to degradation of port city relations.

A modern approach to the organization of the transport chains tries to ensure the lowest possible CO2 emissions from all means of transport. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is taking various measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships. Other stakeholders, in the organization of greener maritime transport, play an essential role, in addition to shipping companies. Cargo owners and NVOCCs typically have more options to choose from different container lines and container services. The differences between them are the regularity of the departures, the sizes of the ships, the availability of empty equipment, the rotation of vessels in service, the duration of the whole voyage, and the price. The article highlights the differences between maritime services from the north Adriatic (NA) to South Africa and their impact on CO2 emissions. The research contributes to a holistic approach in addressing and understanding marine environmental issues. The need to determine the appropriateness of the maritime transport chain is emphasized, not only from a financial and time point of view but also from a carbon footprint. The results are particularly relevant to sustainably oriented European exporting companies operating or establishing business with South Africa, as well as to the importers from South Africa. The research strengthens general awareness and new approaches to the organization of green supply chains, with the aim of decarbonizing maritime transport.

Infrastructure elements are a crucial factor in accommodating larger ships, organizing longer trains, and ensuring the higher flow of goods in intermodal hubs. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) supports the development of infrastructure on the defined transport routes—the Maritime Silk Road (MSR), which includes the European southern transport route through the northern Adriatic. The research emphasizes the importance of the port, and railway infrastructure development on the Baltic–Adriatic Corridor (BAC) by analyzing the pollution level produced from transport means currently employed. The results of SO2, NOx, PM10, and the energy efficiency of intermodal transport chains prove that the current transport route to the northern leg of the BAC via the port of Gdansk is more environmentally friendly, even if it is about 3000 NM longer. The article provides a scientific contribution by pollution data elaboration for demonstrating the need and justification for high investment in BAC in order to establish sustainable transport chains. The study shows that pollution values from supply chains on the Asia–Central Europe axis could be reduced by up to 30% by eliminating infrastructural barriers in the port of Koper and on the railway network at BAC, which is one of the primary goals of BRI.

Environmental pollution is increasingly becoming a major global problem. Consequently, companies and policy makers are facing mounting pressure to reduce their impacts of logistics activities and make transport greener. The challenge to reduce the carbon intensity of maritime transport is even more important when we take into equation the fact that carries about 90% of the world trade. While car industry has already taken actions to greener cars, maritime industry is subject to fewer regulations and slower progress. This article overviews upcoming trends of green intermodal chains, initiatives in green maritime transport and how noteworthy is share of their impact in the transport chain as a whole. Speed reduction is one of most important measures which can be implemented right away with win-win impacting on environment and fuel cost. The study analysis environmental impacts of different services to eastern Adriatic ports, with special emphasis of slow steaming impacts on pollution level. The paper exposes that direct lines with bigger ships cause lower emissions of CO2, NOx and SOx and that with decisions of slow steaming the pollution level decreases significantly.

The cruise industry has been constantly growing since the 1970s and is considered the fastest growing travel vacation segment ever. Currently, Mediterranean is the second most visited region, just behind the Caribbean. One of the Mediterranean cruise markets is the Adriatic Sea, which is becoming an increasingly interesting destination, with Venice and Dubrovnik being the most popular spots. While a port of call destination mainly needs to offer certain attractions to be added to the cruise line itineraries, homeports must provide much more in particular in regards to infrastructure and passengers’ services offered. Currently, the port of Venice and Bari act as main home ports in the Adriatic, while the port of Trieste is growing in importance although at the moment it does not represent a considerable share in terms of number of exchanged cruise passengers. In this paper, the author will determine the advantages that these ports offer in terms of home port adequacy and examine the homeport potential of two Adriatic ports, namely the port of Koper and the port of Split. For this purpose, the list of influential factors will be created based on existing studies but shaped to meet the specific micro conditions and requirements. These factors will be examined.

This article presents a broad perspective on a maritime car terminal’s role in finished vehicle logistics with an aim to elaborate the process when a terminal changes its role from an inbound intermodal node to an outbound intermodal platform. Through the analysis of the maritime car terminal in Koper that occupies the 9th position among top European ports in handling light vehicles, a comprehensive view of process re-engineering is provided. The research analyses specific inbound and outbound processes and real-time decisions that influence the terminal’s productivity and satisfies stakeholders’ business expectations. The proposed business process re-engineering (BPR) model for an outbound car terminal highlights the directions of future management decisions to position the terminal as an export oriented intermodal node. The article offers a theoretical and practical contribution to efficient FVL management.

The article presents structural changes in liner shipping sector, as many global Container shipping lines are opening their own agencies and many independent shipping agents are consecutively closing down their activities, either via takeovers or by going out of business completely. The process of horizontal and vertical integration in shipping industry is re-shaping the entire logistics industry. Such changes put pressure on shipping agents to redefine their market role and develop services with added quality, and relationships with actual and new principals. They are forced to seek for new ways to make income therefore they are forced to perform additional roles, in order to satisfy carriers on one hand, and usually just a few clients, on the other. A market analysis in Slovenia has been performed among companies offering ship-port services, with focus on comparison between independent agents and Container Line offices. It has been ascertained that independent shipping agents must implement the new strategy which is closer to a forwarder’s mentality and market role.
