Sažetak

The study analyses the impact of modern container vessels with capacity of 15.000 TEU1 and more on existing container terminals. Necessary adjustments of terminals are discussed through the aspect of port infrastructure, superstructure and connection with hinterland. The emphasis is on defining the necessary adjustments to enable the berthing of vessels with capacity 15,000 TEU or more. The research highlights the key elements of the container terminal’s enhancements in the Port of Koper, which already receives vessels with a capacity of 15,000 TEU, but encounters restrictions on the acceptance of even larger vessels and larger quantities of containers. The research highlights technical and technological adjustments also through the aspect of intervention and the impact of updates on the environment, the necessary financial inputs and the time component of implementation. The article presents findings that are important for further development of container services and terminals in the North Adriatic area.
