Sažetak
With the intention to make a geo-traffic analysis of the situation and to forecast the global container traffic flows, the paper aims at analysing the rapid development of the container traffic and its respectable participation in the maritime and total world trade. The regional position of the world container traffic is analysed in particular, indicating the most important container traffic regions and the world container traffic flows. Analysing the container traffic intensity and the dynamics in the world container ports, as referent nodes of the container traffic flows, the main world, Asiatic, American and European container ports are defined. Based on the current data and relevant forecasts of the container traffic flow dynamics and development, some predictions of the container trade development as well as the distribution of the container traffic volume towards the leading market regions are analysed too.
