| Summary: | Maritime transport sector, seaport and shipping, create preconditions for maritime states to implement strategically significant national market regulatory measures in order to create added value to the national economy. The state seaport as an element of the maritime transport sector is analyzed as an area of activities of the whole state and region in the transport sector which create preconditions for improving the international, political and economic positions of maritime states in the region.Therefore the efficiency of the state seaport from the management and economic perspective is one of the features of the attractiveness of the maritime transport sector in the region, which directly influences the competitiveness of the entire economy of the country. The peculiarities of the efficiency of the maritime transport sector have to be analyzed in a complex manner and its complexity can be revealed in various ways: optimal and effective distribution and exploitation of state-owned resources, effective private capital involvement by strengthening the supra-structure of the seaport, attractiveness for the cargo consignor and the consignee, performance, socio-economic progress and other. In order to maximize the positive impact of the activities of the maritime transport sector on the country's economy and its competitiveness, a shift in the seaport’s mission is observed: the aim to increase the productivity by the growing volume of cargo has shifted to the goal of creating added value to the stakeholders. Taking into consideration the nature of seaport and shipping activities in order to increase the attractive ness of the maritime transport sector and the competitiveness of the country in the region, it is relevant to substantiate the value-oriented management as a means of increasing efficiency on theoretical and managerial assumptions. |
