Abstract: The business mission of ports specialized in receiving cruise ships is the optimal use of capacity for the reception and dispatch of ships and tourists sailing on them while applying all safety, security and environmental standards. Hence, the aim is to maximize the number of ship and passenger arrivals, and their time spent in the port. Using the port of Kotor example, this paper presents the achieved results of this mission.
The main goal of reviewing this topic is to determine the correlation between the size of a ship and the place of its stay in the port and to define tendencies regarding the length of its stay. The paper also seeks to affirm the position of Kotor as a recognized point on the itinerary of cruise ships sailing the Adriatic and the Mediterranean.
