Significance for the maritime sector

The Dubrovnik Port Authority manages one of the most important Croatian ports on the southern Adriatic, which is key for passenger, ferry, and nautical traffic, as well as for the tourist and economic activity of the Dubrovnik region. Changes in the composition of the Management Board directly affect port management, investment plans, and daily operations, and are therefore of interest to both the maritime sector and the local community of Dubrovnik.

The decision enters into force on the day of its publication in the Official Gazette, whereby the newly appointed leadership assumes duties in the management of the port infrastructure.
