Organization of Maritime Passenger Ports

In order to study the efficiency of a port as well as of the entire port system within a maritime state, it is best to observe the port as a multi-layered entity and to examine both the external and internal factors affecting port’s activity within its immediate as well as wider environment, to examine its business operation, results and more or less strong conjunction of its business operation micro and macro aspects. In the contemporary carriage of passengers by sea, distinction should be made between passenger liner service and cruising or tourist shipping service. While the distinction between these two categories has always been present, significant changes have been introduced recently in the organization of maritime passenger ports, with passenger terminals’ sophisticated design and organization representing the prerequisite for optimal operation and development of passenger liner shipping as well as cruising. In an effort to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of owners and passengers, ports are required to be constantly upgrading the level of services offered and to pursue even more adaptable and more flexible organizational structure. Ports have been facing constant changes which are reflected in upgrading of port facilities, new organization of work and management, promotional activities, implementation of information systems, and introduction of new services, etc.
