CROATIA: Marina Rijeka to set new digital standards
Planning for Marina Rijeka, a new marina in the ACI network, was the most important topic discussed at the recent Blue Growth Kvaerner 2030 Conference in Rijeka.
The conference opened with a welcome speech by Ivan Herak, ACI board member for finance, corporate law and human resources. He said the marina project will kick start the modernisation of the city’s economy. “Given that ACI is the largest nautical company in the Mediterranean, it is our duty to deliver better results from year to year and raise the value of ACI, Rijeka and, ultimately, the whole of Croatia on the market,” he stated, adding that the implementation of the marina project is one of the primary tasks the government has given the state-owned marina chain.
ACI Marina Rijeka, described as the first green and digital marina on the Adriatic, will cover an area of about 10.6ha (26 acres) and will offer 230 berths for boats of an average length of 16m (52ft 6in). Construction should begin in the middle of 2023 and the water area could be open by 2024. The project will be the biggest investment in nautical tourism in Croatia to date and will create over 130 new jobs.
ACI president, Kristijan Pavic, revealed: “For the first time in Croatia, and also more widely, systems for autonomous and partially autonomous navigation of vessels will be developed, with a number of accompanying services, such as automatic recognition vessels, providing all necessary information about the marina, the city and all its facilities for boaters even before they enter the marina.”
