The sailors’ growing interest in small seaports initiated an intense process of tourist infrastructure development. In most of the examined ports, the sailing base has been expanded. The implementation of investments additionally increased the demand for sports and recreation services among sailors. The availability of modern havens and marinas brings many benefits for the local communities. New companies are being created that provide services to sailors: catering and hospitality, food and souvenir supplies. As a consequence, new jobs originate. Revenues of the local communities and the municipal budgets are growing. There are also many other social advantages, difficult to quantify. Investments in tourism infrastructure are financially unprofitable for their beneficiaries, i.e. public entities; however, they generate net benefits for the local communities.

Research into the importance of small seaports in the development of the local economy is extremely rare. This applies equally to the assessment of port infrastructure. Considering the research deficiencies, the decision was made for this paper to assess the importance of nautical infrastructure to port operators and the local economy. The territorial scope of the research covers seven small ports where the vast majority of national maritime sailing is concentrated. The importance of nautical infrastructure to port operators was assessed based on a cost-benefit approach. However, in the case of the local economy, the benefits of the expansion of the nautical infrastructure were determined based on the sailors’ spending, accounting for cash flows and multiplier effects. The study was based on available statistical data and the results of surveys and interviews. The studies carried out showed a negative return on nautical investments for port operators. However, nautical facilities generate net benefits to the local economy. The importance of nautical investments for port municipalities requires further research, especially into cash flows and the indirect and induced effects.

Badania nad znaczeniem małych portów morskich w rozwoju lokalnej gospodarki podejmowane są niezwykle rzadko. Dotyczy to także oceny infrastruktury portowej. Uwzględniając braki badawcze, za cel niniejszego artykułu przyjęto ocenę znaczenia infrastruktury żeglarskiej dla operatorów portowych oraz lokalnej gospodarki. W opracowaniu wykorzystano metodę kosztów i korzyści z uwzględnieniem wielkości wydatków żeglarzy. Materiał badawczy oparto na dostępnych danych statystycznych oraz wynikach badań ankietowych i wywiadach. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały ujemną rentowność inwestycji żeglarskich dla operatorów portowych. Obiekty żeglarskie generują jednak korzyści netto dla gospodarki lokalnej. Znaczenie inwestycji żeglarskich dla gmin portowych wymaga dalszych badań, szczególnie nad przepływami pieniężnymi oraz efektami pośrednimi i indukowanymi.

In Poland there are 29 smaller seaports, and 25 of them are located in the Pomorskie and Zachodniopomorskie Regions. They vary as for, among others, infrastructure, surface, functions performed and management forms. These are either regional or local ports, and some of them serve are fishing ports. Their land areas belong to various entities: municipalities (local self-governmental units – JST), the State Treasury and private persons. Usually it is a combination of private and municipal ownership. The form of management for small seaports is decided by the respective municipality if it owns the majority of their land. Small seaports are most frequently managed by JSTs within their organisational structures, or by entities that JSTs establish. If the majority of a port’s assets is owned by the State Treasury and has not been granted for perpetual usufruct, or is subject to the State Treasury’s perpetual usufruct – the managing entity for a port is the respective director of the sea office. The rules for establishing managing entities for seaports and harbours, and the organisation and functioning thereof, have been set forth in the Act of 20th December 1996 on seaports and sea harbours. The manner of performing tasks, stemming from the legal and internal regulations, by seaports managing entities, or supervision of them were not an area of interest for NIK over the last years. That is why NIK started an audit aimed at assessing the activities of small seaports undertaken by various entities. The audit also intended to identify potential barriers and weaknesses that hamper the operations of small seaports, including those related to the way in which seaports are manager.

Podejmowane przez NIK kontrole koncentrowały się dotychczas na portach o podstawowym znaczeniu dla gospodarki narodowej oraz na problematyce rozwoju średnich i małych portów pod kątem realizacji założeń przyjętych w programach rządowych. W ostatnim czasie Izba zaś sprawdziła, czy działalność małych portów morskich była prowadzona prawidłowo i przyniosła zakładane efekty. Oceniono także ochronę i nadzór nad ich infrastrukturą oraz gospodarkę finansowo-księgową. Artykuł przedstawia szczegółowe wyniki kontroli.
