be approached from different points of view. This paper is mainly concerned with questions related to the maritime
traffic, as one of constituents of the traffic system, analyzed through the basic infrastructural subsystems. The
results of many researches show that efficient functioning of the traffic system, and all its subsystems, in a unique
whole, is a driving power of economic and social development of cities, regions, states, association of states and the
world as a whole. It has great effects on technological and cultural development. But it is necessary to respect the
requirements of the sustainable developments.
