2.4. Market position • CTGC has a favourable strategic maritime and geographic position in relation to main maritime routes in the Mediterranean and in relation to transshipment hub centers. Infrastructural base includes port territory that can be extended, rail and road network in the gravitational area and connection with main transport corridors. The lack of highway towards Serbia , of modernized rail road and of connection with Pan-European network puts CTGC in a secondary position. CTGC has old mechanization of low capacity and partially neglected and undeveloped infrastructure facilities (shores, reinforced concrete beams, iinternal roads).There are no international logistic companies, which integrate all participants in the supply chain and find the best transport combination between producer and customer, present at our market. The main change that characterizes a modern market is the development and domination of logistics industry.
Negative factors that directly influence the process of attracting goods from the gravitational area and the volume of cargo throughput in CTGC are the fact that we haven't got a regular container train between Bar and industrial centers in CTGC gravitational area, there are no larger intermodal operators in Montenegro and the region, who would be able to significantly improve intermodal routes, limited capacities of road network, which result in longer transit times and force intermodal operators to look for systems with better transport flow. In relation to Serbia, our very important market segment when we talk about hinterland, we recognize port of Koper, Rijeka, Thessalonica and Constantza as our main competition. Apart from Constantza which is important because of its connection with the Danube river, other competition ports are well connected with Serbia via inland roads. However, north ports are a lot further away from Serbia, more specifically Belgrade, than Bar. Sailing time to north Adriatic ports, compared to Bar, is considerably longer.
2.5. Potential and development chance • Container Terminal and General Cargo –Bar with its capacities and its maritime position offers a great chance for opening regional distribution centers that would be specialized in certain types of goods and brands.Extensive experience in handling, very favourable maritime – geographical position and Company's capacities that primarily reflect in large storage areas for storing containers and general cargo are all together positive factors that attract business and lead to successful implementation of business arrangements with leading export import companies from Serbia. The vicinity of hub ports, direct container lines, knowledge of international procedure that in accordance with international rules and requirements, free zone activities are some of numerous advantages and possibilities that the port offers to future projects and development plans. • As the largest terminal operator in Bar port area, we represent the system whose operation requires a complete integration in the logistic chain in order to fulfill its function. Efficiency and quality of service provided by the terminal requires adequate infrastructure, superstructure and equipment, adequate connections with other transport sectors, motivated management and qualified employees.
Establishing CTGC as a transshipment hub center in the Mediterranean and as distribution center in the Adriatic region is our strategic vision of success. The corresponding terminal area, length of shore / quays and draft depth, as well as container handling equipment which is a prerequisite that according to international standards and contemporary container mega ships` capacities must be met in order to accept and service the new generation of ships, and securing cargo volumes form CTGC hinterland countries all together justify direct calls of mother ships at CTGC. This way we would achieve a competitive advantage over the ports in the area as container dispatch time and transit time would be shorter . With the reconstruction and modernization of railways system that connects Bar with hinterland industry centers, building of Bar-Beograd highway, faster customs procedures in the port and border crossings, modern equipment for handling containers and containerized goods CTGC would gain competitive strategic advantage in attracting large volumes of cargo which destination are multinational companies in the middle and south-east Europe, and in the future in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Kosovo.
