In the recent year, the economic and technological developments have contributed to the intensification of competition between ports and the development of new elements. The main element as a result of this competition is the quality of service. The port function is currently carried out in a completely new and diverse environment. New infrastructures and new services have transformed the ports from handling passengers and goods into complex enterprises with high technocratic procedures and methods of operation, which must also respond to the new requirements and obligations towards the environment and the wider community. For the economic development of the port, the factor "safety" is a necessity. Port safety has double meaning. On one hand, it refers to the safe conduction (safety) in the port area that includes the proper working and natural environment conditions and on the other hand, it refers to the safe environment (security) in relation to the unlawful acts that endanger human life and property.
