Summary This paper discusses the indicators of development possibilities for sea ports of KEY WORDS national importance which are opened for public traffic: Rijeka, Ploče, Zadar, Split logistic networks and Dubrovnik, as well as for inland water ports: Vukovar, Osijek, Slavonski Brod and indicators of development Sisak. Development of traffic and logistic integration processes have been proposed possibilities for Croatian sea and river ports, based upon development factors analyses. Croatian development directions sea ports Rijeka, Ploče and inland water cargo ports Osijek, Vukovar, Slavonski Brod ports in the Republic of Croatia and Sisak have been analysed as delivery/forwarding points (nodes), taking into account the directions of goods flows, the participation in the traffic of goods, and all other relevant indicators. The integrated and coordinated approach to the ports and other subjects in the logistic chain redirects the traffic from roads to railways and inland waterways as energy efficient and environmentally – friendly forms of transportation, increases business rationality and optimal organisation users and transportation entities.
