Gov't to launch granting of nautical port concession

The government will launch the granting of a maritime domain concession estimated at HRK 1.2 billion for the Porto Baros nautical port in Rijeka, Sea, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Oleg Butkovic said on Thursday, adding that this was currently "the biggest investment in nautical tourism."
 
The government was informed about the intention to grant the said concession at today's meeting. The 30-year concession pertains to an area covering 105,897 square metres.
 
The planned capacity for Porto Baros is 500 berths. In line with regulations, it has been defined as a port of national significance, so granting a concession for its construction and economic use is up to the government.
