Sibenik is located on the Croatian coast some 80 km north of Split. Positioned in a deep bay it has one of the most naturally-protected harbours on the Adriatic coast. It is a very popular coastal tourist destination offering access to two national parks (Krka and Kornati), ferry access to the neighbouring islands and an attractive mid-cruise stopoff point for medium-sized cruise ships operating in the Adriatic area of the Mediterranean.
The port’s facilities are located in the centre of the town and due to the growing number of passengers using the passenger wharves, they require urgent rehabilitation to ensure adequate safety levels as well as efficient passenger processing in order to avoid city centre congestion.
