Croatia has secured a significant financial boost to enhance the infrastructure and capacity of its Crikvenica port, aiming to elevate its status as a key maritime hub on the Adriatic coast. The newly agreed €9.95 million financing is set to accelerate modernization efforts, including the expansion of docking facilities, improved cargo handling systems, and upgraded passenger amenities. This development aligns with the country’s broader maritime strategy to stimulate regional economic growth and increase competitiveness in the tourism and shipping sectors.

The investment will specifically target:

  • Expansion of port berths to accommodate larger vessels
  • Enhanced logistical frameworks for freight and passenger services
  • Installation of environmentally friendly technologies to reduce operational emissions
  • Upgrading security and navigation systems in compliance with EU maritime standards
