Seaports are a key subsystem of the transport and maritime system and act as an accelerator of the global economy, transport, trade and contribute to accelerating the development of many economic activities of the country in which they are located. In the last few decades, the port has lost its traditional meaning which was manifested in the notion of the port system as a separate system that is internally productive and externally competitive. Ports become economic V catalysts for regions and markets located in their gravitational zone and take on the characteristics of a distribution center in which all logistics activities are carried out that contribute to the creation of quality products that meet the needs of end consumers. All activities of spatial, qualitative, quantitative, and temporal transformation of goods flow cause high costs of labor, materials and energy, and the bearers of their realization are logistics and distribution centers. To optimize the work process, reduce storage costs and increase the flow of goods through production complexes, ports take on the characteristics of logistics and distribution centers located near ports and synergistically act on efficiency, harmonization of logistics processes, and cooperation of all participants in the system.
