INTRODUCTIONSignificant increase in the world container trade over the past two decades has resulted in an increased capacity of container ships [1] and the capacity together with throughput of ports container terminals. This encourages the development of ports, primarily port equipment, technology, information and communication systems. The requirements for capacity expansion, investments in infrastructure and transport entities, reducing the negative environmental impact, and customer requirements for faster, more efficient and cheaper transportation of goods has become a product for new transport solutions development [3,4,5].Similarly, ports are faced with changes in their operations. Shippers require fast and efficient handling and reduction of container ships detention. This implies expansion of port capacity and implementation of new equipment, and high-quality connections to the hinterland. Additional requirements for fast and high-quality shipping to customers represents a major financial, organizational and operational requirement to which not all the world ports can respond.Changes in the present transport chain lead to the development of inland terminals. Inland terminals disburden port capacity on the one hand and on the other hand they become a competitive advantage for the less developed ports. This allows them better connections with the hinterland, directly attracting additional cargo. Inland terminals become an additional link in the present transport chain, while the use of intermodal transport technology enables acceleration of transport processes reducing the total transport costs. In the present transport chain, there have been changes in the mode of shipment from the manufacturer to the port and from the port to the end users (Figure 1). TOMISLAV ROŽIĆ, Ph.D. 1

“…It is usually used to model telecommunications networks, because each commodity q has a unique source s(q) and a unique destination t(q). To extend (ND) to more general commodities, such as goods in service network design (Crainic, 2000), or electrical power in transmission network expansion (see Section 2.3.3), we may replace (2.5) by j∈V:(j,i)∈A…”

“…At rst glance, problem (TEP) could be considered as a Capacitated Network Design problem such as (ND), used to model expansion of telecommunication networks (see Chapter 3) and freight transportation networks (Crainic, 2000), among others. However, there is one important di erence, that has a crucial impact when solving the transmission expansion planning problem.…”

“…At the tactical level decisions are made concerning the design of the service network. Service network design involves the selection and scheduling of services to operate, the specification of terminal operations and the routing of freight (Crainic 2000). A decision needs to be made whether to offer a direct service for a particular origin and destination or to move freight indirectly through a hub terminal and bundle load from nearby origins or to nearby destinations.…”
