3 STL Conference Introduction "A port is always standing within a network where the inland part is important as the sea part. We always look in the whole supply chain" (Trupac & Twirdy, 2009). The aim of the research is to investigate the importance of port integration in the supply chains, to identify the parameters of port supply chain integration and to analyse potential effects of supply chain orientation on port competitiveness.

4 STL Conference Literature review I. Bichou & Gray (2004) "Role of port exceed the simple function of transhipment, ports are good location for value added logistics." Panayides & Song (2009) "Ports must evolve from the traditional functions of facilitating loading and discharging operations to become links in a larger logistics chain, part of a global distribution channel."

5 STL Conference Literature review II. Radhika (2012) "Development of global supply chains changes the traditional role of ports from providers of transhipment services to a new role as efficient distibutors of products across the supply chain and integrated service providers. " Zuidwijk (2015) " As global supply chains have become more complex, seaports need not only be global hubs in logistics networks, but they must also act as central nodes in organizational and information networks." When all three of these networks are connected, they can create economic value, improve environmental performance, and enhance security in global trade."

14 STL Conference Discussion & conclusion Port competitiveness intensively depends on the ability of ports to integrate in global supply chains. The identification of the parameters enables port operators to establish strategies to increase integration and achieve competitive advantages.
