Ports and docks are the main traffic junctions, without which successful classic or modern transportation cannot be imagined. They are the connection and crossing spots of all sorts of transportation. In today's modern world, in the application and development of various ways of integral, multimodal and combined transportation systems, port and dock (and storage) container terminals, modernly equipped, allow for very fast, high quality and economical transshipment of goods, based on the unique technological system „from door to door“. Port and dock container terminals have a very important role in the optimal contemporary development of sea and river shipping, those being main transporters of the international trades. Efficiency of rail, road and river traffic is also affected by equipment and development of port, dock and storage terminals.
This is why, there are very many large, medium and small cotainer terminals in the world. The choice of the port location, especially from the aspect of development and application of modern transportation technologies, containerisation, Ro-Ro, LASH and other systems, should be carefully observed and planned on several levels. This includes in the first place geographic, topographic, and maritime constituents, then economic potential of so-called gravitational economic background, then the present state of needs and possibilities of development of terrestrial infrastructure and modern high-speed roads: rails, road, river and air ways along with the development of modern terrestrial cumulative-distributional terminals and junctions, storages and stations. Marine interconnection with different ship lines and with as many world regions as possible is very important, together with quick adaptation of transforming classical lines into container and Ro-Ro. Developed trades, industry and banking in the very port allows for faster transformation of a classical port into a modern one. In addition, it is important that such a port is located relatively far from a competitor port or a potential new port.
