Revisiting the cooperation matrix for classifying cases of port cooperation - case study : Northern Adriatic ports

Stamatović, Kristijan (author), De Langen, Peter (author), Groznik, Aleš (author)

The maritime industry has witnessed transformational changes due to the structural developments in the competitive landscape among maritime stakeholders. These trends lead to cooperation between ports, particularly those sharing common hinterland. This paper extends the existing frameworks for analysing cases of port cooperation among adjacent ports by exploring the relevance of the presence or absence of a national border, thus proposing an upgraded version of the matrix for classifying cases of port cooperation. We operationalize our theoretical findings with a case study of the North Adriatic (NAPA) ports. We conduct in-depth, semi-structured expert interviews with relevant port stakeholders in order to position the NAPA ports within the matrix, as both a group of ports and individual port-pairs.

• Title: Ponovni pregled matrike za razvrščanje primerov sodelovanja med pristanišči - študija primera : severno-jadranska pristanišča

Abstract

Pomorska industrija je doživela korenite spremembe zaradi strukturnega razvoja v konkurenčnem tekmovanju med deležniki v pomorstvu. Ti trendi so spodbudili pristanišča k sodelovanje, zlasti tista, ki si delijo skupno zaledne trge. Naš članek razširja obstoječe okvirje za razvrščanje primerov sodelovanja med sosednjimi pristanišči na način, da obravnava pomembnost prisotnosti oz. odsotnosti državne meje med obravnavanimi pristanišči. To naredimo tako, da predlagamo nadgrajeno različico matrike za razvrščanje primerov sodelovanja med pristanišči. Teoretične ugotovitve uporabimo na študiji primera severno-jadranskih pristanišč. V raziskavi opravimo poglobljene, delno strukturirane strokovne razgovore z relevantnimi deležniki v prej omenjenih pristaniščih, da bi lahko z uporabo novo-predlagane matrike klasificirali njihovo sodelovanje, tako za severno-jadranska pristanišča kot skupina in kot posamezne pare pristanišč.
