• Resumen

  • In recent years there have been mainly «getting more autonomy» trends in the European ports management systems. Based on the Act on Seaports and Harbours the state and self-government system for managing the largest seaports of Poland should be viewed as a compromise between the centre's stance and ambitions of the independent local governments established in the early 90's. The state and self-government joint stock companies of public service which jointly manage the ports of Szczecin and Swinoujscie and the ports of Gdansk and Gdynia are mainly responsible for development and modernization of the port infrastructure, proper seaport land management and port development prediction, programming and scheduling. The main source of financial resources for the managing entities are port fees and the fees for seaport land lease. In recent years the EU regional policy resources and revenues from privatization of transshipment and storage companies have been a major source of financial resources. The Act has explicitly settled that the public sector (seaport land management) and the commercial sector (operating services) be separated.
