  2. UNIT 29 SPLIT- A PORTRAIT OF A PORT- Part 2

  3. The North Port • Sjeverna Luka (North Port) is a bay on the east side of Kaštelanski zaljev, north of Split, and encompasses the major berthing locations used by commercial and military vessels.The port areas handle bulk and general cargo vessels, container ships, tankers, ro-ro ships, etc. Unit 29

  4. The North Port It is the largest such group of berthing locations on the Dalmatian coast. Berths for sea-going vessels are spread around the periphery of Sjeverna Luka, from north through east, to south, in the following order: Kaštel Sućurac basin, Solin basin, Vranjic basin, Brodogradilište Split basin, Luka Lora (used by the Croatian Navy), and finally, Luka Poljud, which contains several small harbours. Unit 29

  5. A terminal for passenger traffic at Resnik-Divulje is under construction. The Split-Kaštela airport is situated 950 m from the maritime terminal. In order to have a calm sea at the terminal for excursion and transfer craft, the City plans to build a 183 m long breakwater. On its outer side a pier will be constructed with two 47 m long berths. In the first stage of construction a jetty has beeb built with one 40 m long berth. Unit 29

  6. There are several potential anchorages within Kaštelanski Zaljev and Sjeverna Luka. The pilot in coordination with the Port Authority would more than likely make a selection based on knowledge of weather conditions and commercial traffic in the area at the time. However, the west-central portion of Kaštelanski Zaljev, where depths range from 27-35 m, is considered the primary location for safe anchorage. Although the bora and sirocco are reported to blow very strong, raising a sea at this location, holding in mud is considered very good, and no problem with ships dragging anchor have been reported. Unit 29

  7. Pilots are usually requested to board prior to proceeding to anchorages or port harbours before entering the recommended passageways. Pilotage is required for all ships weighing over 500 tons and is arranged through the Port Authority at Split, normally giving 24 hours of advance notice. • VHF channel 16 is monitored continuously by the Harbour Master and Port Authority, generally for initial contact and emergencies. The pilots use channel 9, the Harbour Master channel 10, and the Port Authority channel 2. Unit 29

  8. All vessels, concession holders and other persons using the port and/or handling cargo have to observe the Regulations on the order in the port and on the conditions for using port facilities, as well as the Regulations on the designation of special safety, protection and other measures to be applied in handling dangerous substances in the Port area under the jurisdiction of the Split Port Authority.
