Abstract

The aim of this paper work is to explore technological processes which occur on container terminal.Each of them represents a sort of a challenge for a manager of every port, who is responsible for a work organization. The way of running technological processes needs to be organized by minimizing the time ships spend on a dock, including balanced and economical use of port capacity as well as maximum flow of containers. Tracking efficiency of port capacities is shown on an example of container terminal of Rijeka port. By applying quantitative methods, queuing theory, it is been explored whether the capacity of container terminals satisfy existing trade as well as whether the same are sufficient for future increase of trade in terms of expansion of existing or better organization of technological processes.
