Port logistic park - a case study

Abstract

In the port management, apart from logistic centers, warehouse and storage centers and distribution centers there appear new organizational forms of logistic activity in the form of ware­house-production centers called logistic parks. The aim of this paper is to present issues connected with the development of activities performed at port logistic parks, to determine quantitative aspects of development of business activities, to point at problems related to transport services to logistic parks. For the descriptive part the comparative method was used, and for the quantitative aspects of a logistic park's activities statistical methods were used, which allowed for assessment of storage turnover and of traffic volumes. The analytic studies were conducted on the example of a logistic park that was being under development within the area of the maritime port in Szczecin.
