Ploce Port in Ploče, Croatia is Croatia's second largest cargo seaport, mostly serving Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] It is located near the mouth of the Neretva river on the Adriatic Sea coast.
Location
Background
The port contains a bulk cargo terminal that handles coal, aluminum, iron, and phosphates. As of 2015, it could transport 15,000 tonnes (33,000,000 lb) of cargo per day. It also has a petroleum coke terminal.[2]
The port's dry bulk cargo terminal was expanded in two phases. From 2006 to 2016, the terminal's capacity was increased to 4.6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). Funding for the expansion was provided by the World Bank and the Croatian Government.[3] The second phase of the expansion, increasing dry bulk capacity to 6 mtpa, was completed in February 2016.[4]
Ploce power station was a proposed 800-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Ploce port's industrial zone. The project was cancelled after 90% of voters in a referendum rejected the proposed plant in January 2015.[5]
