Sažetak
Motorways of the sea represent the concept of the new European maritime multimodal connections and still have huge untapped potential of maritime transport in the European Union countries and in the Republic of Croatia. Diverting freight flows to the sea, increasing the cohesion of traffic, reducing road congestion by redistributing the cargo flows on the maritime and rail transport, and perhaps most importantly, implementation of the environmentally friendly transport are just some of the reasons for promoting the idea of a motorways of the sea. Achieving a clean, safe and efficient transportation system as an alternative to land transport is reflected in numerous policy documents of the European Union and generally aims to introduce new multimodal logistics chains that will contribute to the creation of structural changes in transport. Also, this concept contributes to the political initiatives of the European Union for the European maritime space without boundaries, and promotes environmentally sustainable transportation. In additional, Ecobonus initiative was launched by the Italian government and it seeks to promote the use of motorways of the sea networks and divert freight traffic from inland to maritime transportation. The aim of this paper is to systematically explore and elaborate the possibilities of the application and implementation “Ecobonus” initiative in the Republic of Croatia. It was necessary to define the major determinant of motorways of the sea and “Ecobonus” initiative. Using the methodological approach of the cost-benefit analysis of Ecobonus’s in Italy proven the importance of implementation of this initiative and possible application and implementation of “Ecobonus” initiative in the Republic of Croatia.
