  4. Split, the second largest city in Croatia, is an important cultural, tourist, industrial, commercial, and sports centre of Dalmatia. City of Split

  5. The port of Split, situated at an exceptionally favourable geographic position in the Mediterranean, is one of the most important centres of local and international maritime traffic. With its annual turnover of 3.5 million passengers and 750,000 vehicles, the port of Split is in this regard the third port in the Mediterranean (after Naples and Piraeus). Because of its unique historical heritage, the city and port of Split have become an unavoidable destination of vessels cruising in the Mediterranean. In cargo traffic the Port of Split is the third largest in Croatia (after Rijeka and Ploče). Unit 29

  6. THE CITY PORT OF SPLIT • The City Port (Gradska luka), on the south side of the city, is very busy, especially during the summer, when tourist cruisers arrive daily, with additional inter-island and car ferry traffic being conducted at the same time. Unit 29

  7. THE CITY PORT OF SPLIT The City Port has been used for berthing passenger vessels in domestic and international traffic, smaller craft in tourist traffic, administrative vessels, warships, and exceptionally ro-ro vessels with a draught not exceeding 8.2 metres. Total number of berths in the port is 28, out of which 10 can be allocated to passenger cruisers. The length of berths ranges from 63 to 173 m accommodating vessels up to 250 m LOA. Unit 29

  8. The port basin is divided into a number of areas. Mandrač is used by fishing boats, yachts, excursion and liner navigation craft and transfer craft. • St. Nicholas‘ Pier accommodates high-speed liner craft and fishing boats whereas its northern side is intended for vessels in the service of the safety of navigation. The berths of Lazaretto Quay, Quay of Prince Domagoj I, and St. Peter‘s Pier provide mooring for high-speed liner craft, excursion and transfer craft, sailing ships, yachts, and passenger vessels. Unit 29

  9. Quay of Prince Domagoj II accommodates tugs, passenger vessels, sailing ships on cruising voyages, and large yachts. There are five berths at St. Duje‘s Pier. Normally, they are occupied by passenger vessels and car-ferries in international traffic. Unit 29

  10. Finally, there are eight berths in the car-ferry harbour. Some of them are meant for smaller car-ferries in local traffic while the others accommodate sailing ships, vessels with particular requirements, passenger vessels in regular service, domestic and foreign warships, vessels which come to the port for supply, car-ferries in international traffic, and vessels in domestic liner traffic. Unit 29

  11. Other locations, on the west side of the port, are for very shallow draft vessels. A yacht harbour and marina lies at the southwest corner of the port, immediately west of the port entrance. The facilities include general repairs and maintenance, slipway for yachts up to 14 m in length, mounting masts, and maintenance of marine engines. Unit 29

  12. The Split Shipyard and the Brodoremont company carry out repairs and maintenance of all types of marine engines and of yachts up to 750 tons (including hauling out). Tugboats, floating cranes and divers can be ordered through the firms Luka and Brodospas. Boating supplies and spares can be found at Brodokomerc, shopping for provisions is available at various places along the shoreline, water is available from hydrants in the harbour, fuel at the fuel dock near the Marjan hotel (west part of the harbour), sea charts and relevant publications at the Plovput chandler near the harbour master‘s office. Waypoint – Unit 29

  13. Anchorage for the south port (Gradska luka) is in Brački Kanal approximately one to two miles southeast of the breakwater at depths ranging from 37 to 40 meters. Holding is considered very good with a mud bottom. Somewhat further to the southeast (about 6.5 miles from the breakwater) is an anchorage reserved for ships with dangerous cargo. The mountain passes in the region facilitate extremely strong NE bora during the late fall, winter and spring, which achieves gust-force hurricane intensities at various locations within the city and port regions.
