PROPOSAL FOR A MODEL OF PASSENGER AND VEHICLE CONTROL IN MARITIME TRAFFIC IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Passenger ports in the Republic of Croatia open for international traffic are additionally controlled in compliance with the provisions of the ISPS code. It is considered that the existing measures for control and protection are not sufficient. This drawback is specially enhanced during the summer season when there is an increased number of passengers and vehicles in the Republic of Croatia. The increased traffic in the summer season is the limiting factor, since the implementation of strict protection measures would further enlarge the crowds at the terminals. Therefore, the authors propose the reorganization of the existing logistics system in a way that it could provide information on the expected traffic, optimal traffic planning and use of resources, increase of the level of protection of passengers, vessels and ports, and reduction of the costs that arise due to insufficient planning.
