POSSIBILITIES OF INTEGRATION OF FERRY SERVICE IN THE PORT OF KOPER

The municipality authority of Koper (Slovenia) and the company Port of Koper Ltd. have agreed that a part of the existing port infrastructure be returned to the town. The development plan of the town foresees that the old town core be revitalized through the northern bypass road. This article considers the integration of Koper in maritime passenger traffic, which represents a new possibility for the current and future tourist and economic development. The authors discuss development of ferry transport lines, the impact and effects of a passenger terminal in Koper, and the infrastructure and organizational requirements of locating the passenger terminal in Koper. The authors conclude that Koper already has the required potential to introduce ferry service to the destinations in Dalmatia, Greece, and Turkey right away. The completion of the northern by-pass road construction allows for the construction of a modern passenger terminal.
