Abstract

The ports Rijeka, Koper, Trieste, Venice and Ravenna are ports of the North Adriatic multiport gateway region (NA). They have a good geographical location and modern container terminals, but this multiport gateway region has been facing lower rates of container throughput than the rest of the multiport gateway regions in Europe. The paper aims at providing an overview of the dynamics of competition among the NA ports – Koper, Trieste, Venice, Ravenna, Rijeka – and at analysing the throughput in this ports in the last twenty years. Based on these numbers, a simple but efficient model to forecast the possibility of growth or fall of traffic in the next year has been found.
