TRANSPORT ASPECTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PORT OF GDANSK
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2000, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
Due to the pro-ecological character of sea transport, shipping lines connecting the Port of Gdansk with its fore-field always appear as elements facilitating sustainable development of the seaport, seen as an integration of the spatial and transport order with the economical, ecological and social order [ 1]. Sustainable development of the Port of Gdansk is also facilitated by its specific location in the Baltic Sea basin. It results from the fact that Gdansk, as all the other large Baltic ports, is serviced from the fore-field side mainly by ferry and rolro lines and by shipping connections within the multimodal transport system (container services and feeder services), and in the future also by short sea shipping lines. Considering transport accessibility of a port from the hinterland, the essence of sustainable development is related to two factors: (I) location of the port in relation to the national and Central- European transport network, and (2) accessibility of the port to infrastructural connections of various modes of hinterland transport. The influence of both factors must be also related to the present state of the transport network, connecting the Port of Gdansk with the hinterland, and to the future state, which will be achieved in result of expected changes in the transport system connecting the port and hinterland.
