PORT REGULATIONS ON THE MAINTENANCE OF ORDER AND TERMS OF USING THE PART OF THE OMIŠALJ BASIN PORT FACILITIES IN THE AREA AND THE JURISDICTION OF THE PORT OF RIJEKA AUTHORITY

The Port of Rijeka Authority’s permanent objective is to provide for safety of vessels sailing in the Rijeka Maritime Zone, look after security of not only vessels but also coastal zone and harbour facilities and in this way contribute to preservation of coastal area and protection of sea environment.

The Port of Rijeka, and its terminals are situated in Rijeka Bay, which cuts deeply into the land. Rijeka Bay is a sensitive area for maritime traffic, in regard to the approaching channel “Vela vrata”, and closure of the entire bay regarding the Adriatic sea.

The Port of Rijeka Authority, understanding the importance of the environmental protection issue and wishing to approach it as seriously as possible and meeting high standard, have recognized the need of publishing this handbook as a help to all ships when entering/leaving the local waters of Rijeka and staying within the harbour area of the Omišalj Oil Terminal.

The handbook contains general information pertaining to arrival of ships, port regulations, and terms of using the part of the port facilities within the area of the Omišalj Basin under the jurisdiction of the Port of Rijeka Authority. It further contains all available services and a list of concession holders in the Port area. The information herein contained does not supersede the application of other official publications dealing with the safety of maritime transport but rather welcomes them as a necessary complement.

Finally, I wish to thank the many experts whose experiences and suggestions were helpful in making this handbook.
