Abstract
In this article, authors emphasize the significance of the reconstruction of the railway transport system
for development of the port of Rijeka container terminal.
The most important projects related to Rijeka’s rail transport system are the multimodal platform
development and interconnection to the Adriatic Gate Container Terminal, and the future construction
of a new high-efficiency railway Rijeka – Zagreb.
Reconstruction of the “Brajdica” railway station and building extension of the railway infrastructure
has increased the loading/unloading capacity of the port Rijeka for container delivery by rail.
The aim of this article is to show how the reconstruction of the “Brajdica” railway station and terminal
within the port of Rijeka container terminal has improved the efficiency of the dispatch/delivery of
containers by railway.
Construction of a new high-efficiency railway Rijeka - Zagreb will create a significant shortening of
railway connections of Southeast Europe with its central and western parts and will improve conditions
of traffic exploitation, i.e. future development of the port of Rijeka container terminal.
