The concept of maritime logistics consists of three factors; these are port operations, maritime operators and hinterland connections. Ports are transformed areas of concentration of highly sophisticated logistics activities. The analysis of the conditions for the planning and development of seaports arises from various research activities of economic, transport, technical-technological and organizational conditions. During the construction and modernization of transport infrastructure facilities, it is necessary to achieve an appropriate transport connection between the mainland hinterland and the seaport. Also, the connection of seaports with the rear terminals expands the gravitational area of the port deep into the hinterland and thus increases the competitiveness of the port by opening its entrance to a new market.
