Abstract
The subject of this paper is to determine the fundamental factors of the quality of maritime transport services and analyse them, all with the aim of meeting the requirements of service users. These factors determine the quality of desired service results and must be in accordance with the policy of quality that is set at the level of a maritime organization, region or maritime countries in general. Contemporary economic turmoil, the process of globalization, the instability of the world market and the continued pressure of competition lead to strict requirements in terms of quality of services and the creation of the concept of a systematic and managerial approach within the system of maritime transport. The contribution of this work is reflected in the implementation of a systematic approach as the key condition for research and analysis of the factors of quality of maritime transport services in the complex and dynamic system of maritime transport, whose main purpose is to meet the needs and the demands of service users and all participants in the maritime business.Predmet istraživanja ovog rada je utvrđivanje temeljnih činitelja kvalitete pomorsko-prijevozne usluge te analiza istih u cilju ispunjenja zahtjeva korisnika usluga. Činitelji kvalitete određuju željene rezultate usluga i moraju biti u skladu s politikom kvalitete koja je postavljena na razini jedne pomorske organizacije, regije ili pomorske zemlje općenito. Suvremena ekonomska previranja u gospodarstvu, proces globalizacije, nestabilnost svjetskog tržišta te kontinuirani pritisak konkurencije, uvjetuju visoke zahtjeve u pogledu kvalitete usluga i kreiranje sustavnog i upravljačkog koncepta unutar sustava pomorskog prijevoza. Doprinos ovog rada se očituje u implementaciji sustavnog pristupa kao ključnog uvjeta za istraživanje i analizu činitelja kvalitete pomorsko-prijevozne usluge u kompleksnom i dinamičkom sustavu pomorskog prijevoza, čija je osnovna svrha zadovoljenje zahtjeva i potreba korisnika usluga
