Liner shipping in the Republic of Croatia and in the world also plays a significant role in the development of the country itself and in the fast and efficient transport and trade of goods such as bulk cargoes, oil, iron ore, liquefied gas, cereals and people. Throughout history Maritime ports have been the starting point for economic development and prosperity. There are many benefits to maritime transport, such as job creation and migration, the development of the industry in a differentiated way, the opening up of trade-related countries to other countries around the world, and the like. Aside from the great influence on foreign trade, we can say that the crucial factor is a precondition for a country to have good transport infrastructure and connectivity in order to process people and goods took place as rationally and efficiently as possible. Due to the high demand for maritime services, there is a growth and development of maritime markets where a large number of transport operations are carried out on certain navigation routes between seaports at continually agreed time intervals. The purpose of this paper is to analyze liner shipping with special attention to the situation and all features same in the Republic of Croatia. According to the results of the conducted research, it should be emphasized that survey respondents use services of the maritime traffic only several times a year mainly due to the high ticket prices. In order to increase usage of these services it is necessary to technologically modernise the fleet of the ships and to increase investments into infrastructure. Most importantly it is necessary to increase number of service providers in order to be able to offer lower ticket prices and higher quality of the services. Furthermore, results show that position of the locals on the islands along the Adriatic should be improved by introducing additional subsidies for tickets during entire year and by introducing new, more frequent night lines.
