This is a directory stub generated from the UN/LOCODE registry; a fuller write-up has not yet been added.

This record’s port function has not been confirmed by Croatia’s national authority — UN/LOCODE lists it as a “recognised location” (status RL), not an approved one. It may represent a distinct small port, a berth, terminal, or anchorage within a larger port, or a place with no distinct port facility.
