Abstract
The aim of this paper is to propose the intermodal logistics Corridor Vc, relying on the European Union transport policy, which will be in the function of regional development. The main goal is to analyze a potential route of freight intermodal transport between the ports of Ploče and Brčko in order to popularize this intermodal line at the international level. Among the most important activities in achieving this goal is the integration in the Euro corridor system. This integration is of crucial importance for companies to successfully execute their supply chain processes both domestically and internationally. The paper is based on the analysis of the current socio-economic situation and the condition of the intermodal transport system in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), as well as existing strategic studies and development plans. This paper sheds a light on the creation of a strong integrated intermodal freight transport network in BiH, that will be a quality alternative to other international intermodal flows from the aspect of shorter transport time, lower transport costs and more favorable ecological aspects of transportation.
Highlights
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is a land of extraordinary resources - both natural and human, but the synergy effect of their interaction is missing
Revitalization of key elements of the intermodal logistics corridor will contribute to the establishment of a competitive intermodal logistics route (Port Ploče – Corridor Vc - Port Brčko) at international level, thereby enhancing regional development in BiH and beyond
A large source of secondary data was used to enhance the validity of the analysis that will be offered in the work: White Paper 2011 Strategy, TEN-T Network Development Strategy, Construction project "Highway in Corridor Vc", Intermodal Transport Study in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Strategy for Development of Air Traffic Management System in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Transport Master Plan Study in BiH (JICA, 2001), Project B.E.P.O
Summary
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is a land of extraordinary resources - both natural and human, but the synergy effect of their interaction is missing. For our research it is especially important to carry out an analysis of the area through which passes the route of Corridor Vc: Herzegovina-Neretva Canton (HNK 207), Sarajevo Canton (KS 209), Zenica-Doboj Canton (ZDK 204), Doboj Region (RD 212) and Brčko District (BD „A“), and areas of significant value: Central Bosnia Canton (SBK 206) and Banja Luka Region (RBL 211). This analysis will be done by applying the criterion of population share in the new typology of spatial units NUTS3 (Table 2). This tells us that this is the area with the predominant population that is in full work force
