<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\nCooperation with shipowners is very good<\/h2>\n\n
During the summer months, when the pressure on the port is at its highest, work is organized in two shifts, from 6 am to 10 pm. The port is divided into an operational shore and a nautical section. In each of these sectors, employees are constantly present to organize the mooring of ships and monitor the flow. In order to ensure that services can be provided on time and without downtime, an average of five people work in one shift. <\/p>\n\n
Cooperation with users, including small ship owners and tourist operators, has been rated very good in recent years. According to Pavi\u010di\u0107, the key to success is clearly defined rules, mandatory announcement of arrival, precise boarding and disembarkation times, which achieves order and satisfaction for all involved. Any complaints from users are very rare, and if they do exist, they most often relate to technical details such as errors in billing. <\/p>\n\n
In the context of the balance between local needs and commercial interests, he emphasizes that all stakeholders are trying their best to accommodate each other. – Local boats, yachts, tourist passenger ships and regular catamaran lines meet in the port every day, and space and time must be carefully coordinated, explains Pavi\u010di\u0107. <\/p>\n\n
Crowded in season<\/h2>\n\n
One of the biggest challenges is certainly the exceptionally high number of arrivals during the season. In order to relieve the main coast in Hvar, the Nautical Center this year redirected tourist boats carrying cyclists to the port of Vira, also under the jurisdiction of the Port Authority. This has achieved greater flow and safety within the port of Hvar. <\/p>\n\n
Preparations for the season are being carried out in coordination with the Port Authority, which sends the concessionaire a questionnaire every year about the necessary equipment. Pavi\u010di\u0107 rates the cooperation as excellent, as is the case with the Port Authority and other control bodies. <\/p>\n\n
When it comes to infrastructure, the Port Authority is continuously investing in improvements, Pavi\u010di\u0107 points out. For example, last year new bollards were installed to increase mooring safety, and investments are regularly planned according to priorities from the field. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
