Abstract: The paper is devoted to the study of the efficiency of economic activity of inland ports at the Bulgarian section of the Danube River. In this regard a system of economic indicators (cargo turnover of Bulgarian river ports; total revenues; average number of persons employed; average stay of a vessel at inland ports; average wage costs and investment costs for maintenance and development of Bulgarian inland ports) will be analyzed. In the study is proposed a model for evaluation of the efficiency of ports traditional and complementary services. It is composed a rectangular matrix that reveals the correlations between indicating factors and performance indicators. As a result of the analysis are summarized the problems that hinder the economic activity of Bulgarian river ports and their superstructure and key measures for their development are proposed.
