Summary: The traffic policy and thereby the port policy of the Republic ofCroatia is not a stable one, what is the result of the vitalinfluence of the political, frequently no scientifically foundeddecisions. These decisions are not significant only within thearea of a particular port company; they also applay to thetraffic infrastructure which influences the movement of goods andpeople. This research, based upon the personal affinity of everyparticular researcher, aims to stress how complex is theinfluence on the development of ports and at the same time topoint out the basic influences which can contribute to thestability of the national port policy. How important is the portpolicy itself seen within the natonal economic policy, can beseen through the slowness in harmonizing the unique maritimepolicy of the presentday European Union. The carried out researches have undoubtedly led to a conclusionthat the port of Rijeka is to be considered as the main Croatianport. That practocally means that the moder railway-track andmotor-road should be located on the Rijeka-Zagreb traffic route.

Keywords: Port hinterland areas, maritime and port policy, flow of goods, traffic sustem, Adriatic maritime policy, merchant fleet capacity, national port system.

In doing so we shall leavebehind the edxperience so far, the result being an unnecessaryduplication of port capacities, a very frequent and unfaircompetition and a decrease in the competition with the portsabroad. Th all the failures done in the past and to find out possiblesolutions in the development of teh port system of the Republicof Croatia in the future.
