Project summary
The project envisages the construction of a new pier with a length of 55 m, width of 6 m, height of +1,50 m above the water line and minimal depth of -5,0 m along the pier, with 15 m wide embarkation / disembarkation ferry ramps and a surface area of 330 m2 as well as a 2.300 m2 manipulative plateau approximately 700 m northwest of Kaprije town centre.
The planned intervention will move the existing quay, located in the town centre (a zone of shallow water ), to a peripheral area of Kaprije (a zone of greater sea depth). Construction of the new quay will allow the use of more seaworthy ferries with a larger draught, improving the service quality and enhancing navigational safety on the ferry line Šibenik – Zlarin – Obonjan – Kaprije – Žirje and the high-speed line Žirje – Kaprije – Šibenik, as well as improve connections between the mainland and islands of the Šibenik archipelago, particularly Kaprije and Žirje.
