Sažetak
This article explores the strategic positioning of the ports of the northern Adriatic, particularly Trieste and Koper, in the evolving landscape of global trade, with a special focus on responses to challenges posed by the Northern Sea Route, the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor, and geopolitical and geographical shifts. The potential of these ports to serve as a multi-port gateway connecting the Mediterranean, North Africa, Turkey, and Central Europe through a K-shaped double corridor is emphasised. The analysis highlights the importance of intermodality, streamlined cargo handling, and regional cooperation within the Northern Adriatic Ports Association. Grounded in a mix of geopolitical analysis, primary data from stakeholders, and scenario planning, the article underscores the importance of resilience and diversification for Trieste and Koper in navigating an increasingly multi-polar world order.
