Port of Ploče, Mediterranean seaport in Ploče, Croatia.
The Port of Ploče is a seaside facility on the Adriatic coast that handles many types of cargo. The location features separate areas for containers, bulk goods, liquids, and wood, along with cranes sized to lift different weights.
The port was created after the Second World War to use a new railway that linked industries in Bosnia and Herzegovina to the sea. This connection made the location a key trading point in the region.
The port functions as a key trade link between coastal Croatia and inland industrial zones. People here move goods between the sea and regions further north using this working facility.
The port is reached by road and rail and operates throughout the year. Visitors should know that the site is an active work area and access may be limited for safety reasons.
In the 1990s, a special agreement allowed Bosnia and Herzegovina to move goods freely through this port. This arrangement became important for trade across the whole region following the conflict there.
