Summary/Abstract: There are seventy maritime ports and havens which vary in size and the complexity of functions at the Polish coast. These entities operate under the Law on Maritime Ports and Havens of 20 December 1996 which has introduced two port management models depending on the port category: ports of key importance for the national economy and other ports and havens. The article discusses the specific features of a joint stock company managing a port of key importance for the national economy which differentiate it from a model joint stock company. The specific status of a port company results from the statutory regulation and relates to an important public interest - these ports, according to the law, are essential for the national economy.
