The government of the Republic of Croatia (O.G. 42/96) established the Ploce
port authority on May 23, 1996 on the basis of the Decision on the Ploce port
authority establishment.
During its term of office, the Port authority got prepared the documents which
are in the phase of adoption. These documents regulate some relations
between the corporation and environmental protection.
• The Book on determination of the type and quantity of dangerous
substances with which the manipulation at the port of Ploce is
possible, i.e. with which the vessel can enter the port and places in the
port of Ploce on which these substances shall be manipulated.
• The Book on the measures which have to be undertaken by the Ploce
Port authority and the users of the concessions in the port of Ploce
enabling them to manipulate with dangerous substances.
The bellow mentioned studies, which in some parts deal with the problem of
environment protection, are made for the needs of the port of Ploce. These
materials shall naturally be used by both the public company Port of Ploce
and the Ploce Port authority.

Presently it can be noticed positive efforts of the Port authority in “turning a
new page” in respect of its relation towards the environment by applying the
principles of environmental protection which are regulated by the existing
jurisdiction of the Republic of Croatia and at the same time by respecting the
international conventions which the Republic of Croatia is the signatory. An
important element of such estimation is the contracting of the PUO study
elaboration for the foreseen intervention within the port basin.
The further obligation of the Port authority is the construction, management
and usage of the future container terminal as well as of other specialized port
terminals, which also implies the environment management. To make the
management successful, the following steps shall be undertaken determining:
1. Environment management policy
• readiness for upgrading the performances of port terminals in
relation to the environment;
• establishment of a team for project management;
• obligatory elaboration of the existing state basis with respect to the
environment and management and application of adequate
protective measures.
2. Review of the environmental state– which makes an initial picture of
the existing container terminal and represents a basis for development
of adequate environment management programs.
