Abstract
The paper aims at presenting a thorough analysis of the present technological state of the Port of Ploče in the context of its development capabilities in terms of MoS service as a modern approach toward the port potential strengthening. Pre-determinants for modern container ports are in-depth examined and on the basis of the performed SWOT analysis the conclusions have been reached emphasizing development potentials and further growth directions that, all combined, shade a new light on the port of Ploče as a part of integrated MoS services. Such structural analysis also suggests new development dimensions that are available for port development in the South Adriatic region.
