Corporate Ports Particularities- An Opportunity for Port Management Development Strategies

Abstract

Increasingly, ports are part of global logistics chains, and their public benefits are given regional and global attributes. The value of services provided by regional ports transcends the interests of local users and benefits businesses and communities across regional and national borders. This paper analyzes in detail how the operation and management structure is established in the various ports located on the inland waterways to understand better the particularities and specialties of different port management and operation models. Research developed through this paper states that one of the extended functions of the corporate port model is the development of the port through the involvement of the entire port community. Also, the development of communication between the port and the city positively affects the simultaneous development of the city and the port.
