The evolution of Zadar Port in the last ten years.

If we talk about the Zadar Port we can highlight the continuous evolution of Zadar Port not only in the last ten years, also since the creation in 1997 with a help from Port of Zadar Authority. This place has a series of specific aspects such as: rectangular shape, the location in the historical capital of Dalmatia and the historic context during centuries the best maritime connection for Venetians.

A new particular factor is the location within the Old Town and then, the nearly all touristic zone is close to the port. However, some years ago, the main activities of ferries, cruises and ships are focused on the Port of Gaženica – Zadar.

 Before detailing the most important milestones of Zadar we can clarify the difference between Zadar Port & Gaženica Port.

    • Gaženica Port. Bigger ships will dock at the ferry port of this suburb of Zadar (Gaženica). This zone is recognized officially as the Passenger & Cargo port, situated to 3,5km south of the city center.
    • Zadar Port. Smaller ships and small yachts will dock at Zadar peninsula with a fantastic position with easy access to the main points of the city.

Main milestones in the Port of Zadar

    • In 2001, the reconstruction of the “Liburnska obala” in the length of 200 meters.
    • In 2003, the construction of berth for cruisers on the “Istarska obala”.
    • In 2008, the presentation of the “New port of Zadar project – Gaženica” and starting with the terminal building for all types of ferry traffic and cruise ships.
    • In 2018, Port of Zadar finished the phase of the project ¨New Passenger port of Gaženica”.

To sum up, historically, the evolution of Zadar Port is constant. And currently, the level of infrastructure for cruises, yachts and cargo ships has improved. However, the main obligation of the Port of Zadar Authority is to coordinate new advances, projects and plans with the support of the Strategy for Spatial Development of the Republic of Croatia, Government and European Union.

Zadar is a special place and the main organizations and public administrations should be part of this participation.

Zara Agent is strongly committed to seeking new business, opportunities and progresses for yachts, cruisers and cargo ships. Our company is operating in this zone of Croatia for more than 10 years.
