Port of Split

Split (UN/LOCODE: HRSPU) is a major maritime port and coastal city in Croatia's Split-Dalmatia County, situated at 43.5°N, 16.45°E along the Adriatic Sea within the Europe/Zagreb timezone. This historically significant harbor serves as a crucial hub for passenger and cargo vessels, featuring modern container terminals and cruise ship facilities amid ancient Roman architecture. The port handles diverse traffic including agricultural products, construction materials, and refined petroleum, while maintaining deep-water berths capable of accommodating vessels up to 50,000 deadweight tons. Split's strategic location facilitates efficient connectivity between Central European markets and Mediterranean shipping routes, supported by adjacent ferry terminals linking Croatian islands. The port authority manages comprehensive maritime infrastructure including navigational aids, pilot services, and tug assistance, establishing Split as Dalmatia's premier commercial gateway and Croatia's third-largest passenger port following Dubrovnik and Rijeka.
