This study focuses on the importance of the development of maritime container ports in the case involving transatlantic container transport in order to ascertain an optimal model of container flows between container terminals in the eastern coast of the United States and those in Western and Northern Europe. The model proposed by the authors is developed using the following eight key elements: transport infrastructure and suprastructure, use of intelligent information systems, economic growth, transport ecology, cargo flows, innovations, safety and security, and transport energy. The research builds mainly upon secondary statistics data analysis. The authors suggest that there is a close and strong connection between the development rate of maritime containers ports and the proposed model for transport optimization, which considerably influence the level of attractiveness of maritime container terminals.
