In the 18th and 19th centuries, it became an important trading and manufacturing centre, as well as a centre of Serbian culture of that period, earning the nickname Serbian Athens. The name Novi Sad means "New Plantation" in Serbian. Its Latin name, stemming from establishment of city rights, is "Neoplanta". The emergence of the port is connected to a workstation, "Port and storage", which operated as a part of the "Heroj Pinki" from 1974. The Port is operating under current name since 1982. According to the results of the latest census in Serbia, conducted in October 2011, the urban area of Novi Sad has a population of 221.854, while its municipal area has a population of 335.701. 1.2 Location The Port of Novi Sad is situated at 45°20′N and 19°51′E, in the central part of the autonomous province of Vojvodina in northern Serbia. "Luka Novi Sad A.D. " is located at km 1254 at the left bank of the Danube, in the Novi Sad – Savino selo Canal (part of the Danube – Tisa – Danube - DTD Canal network) at its km 0.4 - 1.2. It covers an area of 24 ha. Port is situated at the intersection of the two Pan-European transport corridors (naval corridor VII and road and rail corridor X) and it is an important transport and cargo handling centre of Central Europe. This clearly indicates a good geographical position of the port and determines the direction of development in order to meet the needs of the local economic environment and international flows of goods, with particular attention to the development of multimodal transport. The distance between the Port and the corridors: • 300 m to the railway corridor Xb • 3 km to the road corridor Xb. DaHar This project is co-funded by the European Union page 6 of 29 Status Quo – Port of Novi Sad Figure 1. Port of Novi Sad 1.3 Hinterland connections The Port of Novi Sad facilitates river and river-sea transport in two directions: the Danube - east and the Danube - west. The direction Danube - east provides links with: • All international ports along the Danube, downstream from Novi Sad. In addition to the ports in Serbia, those are: Bulgarian ports (Vidin, Lom, Ruse, Silistra,...), Romanian ports (Cernavoda, Braila, Galati, Giurgiu, a canal and Constanta...) and Ukrainian ports (Reni and Izmail). • Black Sea ports Varna, Burgas, Constanta. • Over the Black Sea ports, the port has a direct connection with the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The direction Danube - west provides links with: • All international ports along the Danube upstream of Novi Sad, as are: Hungarian ports (Baja, Dunaujvaros, Budapest,...), Slovak ports (Komarno, Bratislava), Austrian port (Vienna, Linz, Enns) and German ports (Passau, Regensburg, Kelheim) • Rhine region over the Rhine - Main - Danube Canal with Germany, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands, which provides way to the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean. DaHar This project is co-funded by the European Union page 7 of 29 Status Quo – Port of Novi Sad Active line service is a container line: ZIM Integrated Shipping Services - Jugoagent (Constanta - Belgrade - Constance). Until recently there was an active line service managed by Helogistics (Constanta - Budapest - Constanta). Figure 2. Danube as an inland waterway The port has three - modal hinterland connections: 1. IW connection with the Rivers Tisa and Sava, as well as Danube – Tisa – Danube Cannel network (DTD Canal has the length of 600 km), Figure 3.

Railway network in the region DaHar This project is co-funded by the European Union page 9 of 29 Status Quo – Port of Novi Sad In accordance with the decisions of the EU's third conference in Helsinki (1997.), Corridor X includes rail and road line Salzburg - Ljubljana - Zagreb - Belgrade - Nis - Skopje - Veles – Thessaloniki. The length of the railway lines is 2528 km and road lines 2300 km, including following branches: • Branch A: Graz - Maribor - Zagreb • Branch B: Budapest - Novi Sad - Belgrade (294 km) • Branch C: Niš - Sofia - Plovdiv - Dimitrovgrad - Istanbul via Corridor IV • Branch D: Veles - Prilep - Bitola - Florina - Igoumenitsa (Via Egnatia) 1.4 DTD Canal network1 The DTD Hydro system is located in the autonomous province of Vojvodina and is subdivided into two areas due to the presence of the river Tisa. The two areas are the Bačka area to the west and the Banat area in the east. Moreover the rivers Tisa, Begej and Tamis are part of the DTD Hydro system. The DTD Hydro system has a total of 12 navigable canals in the Bačka and Banat area. Out of its total length of 600.6 km, about 355.5 km are in Bačka and 245.1 km in Banat. These canals are connected to the Danube and Tisa. The entire DTD Hydro system is managed by the DTD administration of Vode Vojvodine. The DTD Hydro system canals enable navigation of self-propelled barges and single-barge formations due to very small dimensions of the waterways, locks and navigable bridge openings, as

  • Intermodality - Serbia As the Hinterland of the Port of Bar
    Intermodality - Serbia as the hinterland of the Port of Bar Sanja Bojić, Associate Professor, Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad Geographical position and transport network of Serbia Serbia is a landlocked country situated at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe, in the middle of three geo-political entities: Danube macro-region, Adriatic-Ionian macro-region and Western Balkan 6 initiative. By analyzing and assessing the geostrategic and geopolitical comparative advantages of the Republic of Serbia in the wider European area, the main advantage of the Republic of Serbia is being the traffic connection of Western and Central Europe with Southeastern Europe and the Middle East, as well as the connection of Central European countries - the Middle Danube towards the South Adriatic, the Aegean and the Black Sea, or the Mediterranean. Serbia is crossed by the two main transport corridors recognized as Pan-European Corridors X and VII. According to the European Union TEN-T classification and latest indicative extension of TEN-T network to Western Balkan, former Pan-European corridors are replaced by branches of Orient/East-Med Corridor and Mediterranean corridor as shown at following pictures. Figure 1. Indicative extension of TEN-T network to Western Balkan [1] MultiAPPRO Multidisciplinary approach and solutions to development of intermodal transport in region 1 Main transport infrastructure in Serbia make sections of the main international corridors of the TEN – T core network (Corridor X, or Orient/East-Med Corridor and Mediterranean corridor and Corridor VII or Danube – Rhine – Main river corridor) and comprehensive network, where Routes 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 are connecting Serbia with neighboring countries.
