Display of maritime vessels at customs wharf

CROFISH on the Poreč seafront!

At the Poreč seafront, CROFISH visitors will be able to board and explore numerous vessels. We highlight the following ships:

The Fisheries Inspection's speedboat Periska, type Rab 830, is built in the shipyard Pičuljan. The length of the hull is 8.3m, and the overall length is just over 9.6m; it reaches a maximum speed of 30 knots.

P-212 patrol vessel of the Ministry of the Interior is built in the Pula shipyard Tehnomont in 2013. It is 13.85m long and 4.35m wide. It is equipped with two engines, 373kW each, and reaches a speed of 30 knots. I has a three member crew.

New for this year: ECOcube, an autonomous floating collection station for collecting solid waste and wastewater from vessels, produced by Marservis shipyard in Kaštelir. It solves the problem of all type of waste discharge into the sea due to the lack of stations for receiving waste from vessels. Waste reception stations are located in marinas or ports, far from waterways, and most of them do not have the possibility to accept waste water, only solid waste. It is made in dimensions from 6 x 2.5 meters to 12 x 5 meters.

The dive-IT company will hold presentations of underwater robots and mobile technologies for use in scientific research, education, vessel and dock inspection, aquaculture, archeology and underwater photography.

In addition to the above vessels, you will be able to visit numerous fishing boats used for various purposes.
