Morski aspekt polskiej polityki transportowej i tranzytowej
Streszczenie
The geopolitical location of Poland in Central Europe determines the role of
platform between the countries of Western and Eastern Europe. This location
nowadays and very probably access to Eropean Union's structures and the NATO in
near future will support the development of economic relations in Eastern Europe
and will enable an additional source of income for the country by transit including
through the sea ports. To make this development real it's necessary to expand the
transport infrastructure for all means of transport because its present weakness is a
barrier for goods transportation and it negatively influences the development of the
region and the country - it's irrevocable condition of effective transport policy
performing to consider the transit policy. The analysis of changes in transit services
realization in Polish ports makes conclude that the transport and transit policy is
inefficacious or even there's no such a policy. The statistical data show that the
turnover broke down in 1991. The evident transit decreasing in railway transport
and inland shipping caused by modification of Polish geopolitical location, economic
transformation process in Central Europe, the fall of Soviet Union and Council for
Mutual Economic Aid had the unprofitable effect on reloading of goods and transit
reloading in Polish ports in the years 1991-96. After 1991, the Ukrainian and
Belarusan transit determined by geopolitical factors has appeared. After
independence regaining by Ukraine this country faced with the problem of
reconstructing transport connections with foreign countries, especially in the
direction: Odessa - Gdańsk and Gdynia. The substantially important for Polish-
Ukrainian co-operation will be constructing of the transport track linking ports of
Black Sea via Lvov and Lublin to ports of Gdańsk Bay: „Via Intermare". This
assignment will enable to increase activity of regions crossed by the track and also
will strengthen economic relations between Poland and Ukraine. The economic
crisis in Central Europe caused not only transit decreasing but also competition
among the transit countries. In this competition Poland is rather weak competitor
because of insufficient transport infrastructure. Also teh changes of geopolitical
location highly influenced the amount and directions of cargoes reloaded in Polish
ports. These negative processes are a result of lack of univocally defined aims and
instruments of the transit policy.
