In most cases, the availability of seaports is declared through availability isochrones based on the distance determined by the beeline, what is a very simplifi ed manner of determining the availability of seaports and presenting their benefi ts to customers. Therefore, the paper aimed to determine the availability of selected seaports in Europe on the basis of the proposed methodology using a professional route planner for road freight and distance directory managed by UIC (International Union Railways) for rail freight. The intermodal transport terminal in Žilina, Slovakia and eight seaports from seven European countries were selected to verify the proposed methodology for the assessment of time availability. Time availability is one of the key factors in the choice of mode of transport by carriers and also for the use of seaports. The scientifi c benefi ts are in the design of the methodology and its application to real conditions with the evaluation of outputs for the individual transport route. The contribution also assessed the impact of other factors aff ecting the observance of planned transport times in rail and road freight transport. Sažetak U većini slučajeva raspoloživost morskih luka objavljuje se s pomoću izokrona raspoloživosti koji se temelje na udaljenosti prema najkraćoj putanji, a to je pojednostavljen način određivanja raspoloživosti morskih luka i prezentiranja njihovih prednosti klijentima. Stoga je cilj ovoga rada bio utvrditi raspoloživost odabranih morskih luka u Europi na osnovi predložene metodologije uporabom profesionalnog planera rute za cestovni prijevoz i priručnik s izračunatim udaljenostima koji vodi UIC (Međunarodna željeznička unija). Intermodalni prijevozni terminal u Žilini (Slovačka) i osam morskih luka u sedam europskih država odabran je kako bi se provjerila predložena metodologija za utvrđivanje vremenske raspoloživosti. Vremenska raspoloživost jedan je od ključnih čimbenika u odabiru načina prijevoza od strane prijevoznika te za odabir morske luke. Znanstveni doprinos rada očituje se u izradi metodologije i njezinoj primjeni u stvarnim uvjetima, uz procjenu učinaka za pojedinu transportnu rutu. Doprinos također predstavlja procjena utjecaja drugih čimbenika koji utječu na praćenje planiranog vremena za željeznički ili cestovni prijevoz.

“…Forwarding and logistics companies have defined in their general purchasing conditions for the provision of transport services obligations of the carrier to observe all the rules in the places of loading and unloading, regulations and safety instructions in the transport contract. For example, during shipment use only the guarded parking areas defined in the order, car parks and rest areas, which can be considered safe and when the vehicle is abandoned, there is no theft of the shipment or during the sleep of the crew members to use all the security devices in the vehicle at its disposal [10]. Customers' and insurance requirements and compliance checks to take regular weekly rest outside the vehicle will be directed to change the system of planning the work regime with an effort to restrict the use of this rest outside the State of registration of the vehicle.…”

The paper deals with the research results regarding the possible impact on the EU logistics of regulating the regular weekly rest of road freight drivers. Road freight transport is used for the large distance and the implemented changes, high fines on drivers, and carriers as well can reduce the availability of vehicles for this transport, which may have negative impact on the logistics sector, including seaports, and can cause the increased theft of shipments. The paper focuses on the major shortage of road freight drivers and the age structure of current drivers, which is a further threat to the EU logistics sector. This may have a positive impact on the increased use of the rail freight transport.

“…The dominant attribute of current logistics is the increase in the number and quality of links of the sub-links of the logistics chain [1], [2] on a global scale. As in other economy sectors, transport and logistics are dominated by the supply above the demand [3].…”

The aim of the paper is to identify the employees' groups based on the differences in their motivation preferences in the environment of transport and logistics enterprises in selected regions. Loyal, satisfied and efficient employees are a key success factor for service enterprises in general. This is due to the fact that service sphere is characterized by the low level of anonymity of the service provider, therefore the level of professional approach of employees in direct interaction becomes the most important in terms of customer satisfaction. The paper represents partial result of research aimed at the identification of motivational preferences of employees in the specific conditions of logistics enterprises. The research was carried out in the Czech Republic and Russian Federation (Sverdlovsk region) in 2017 and the research sample consisted of 571 and 860 respondents employed in transport and logistics enterprises. There is a proposed use of Cluster analysis method in the paper. The research results obtained can help better understand the motivational preferences of the transport and logistics staff and thus create the possibility of more efficient formulation of incentive programs.
