Several weeks ago, Jadrolinija<\/a> strengthened its fleet with the new ship \u201cLo\u0161inj<\/strong>\u201d, and according to unofficial announcements, the purchase of another large ferry is in the last phase. According to sources from that shipping company, the ferry should be a worthy replacement for the temporary \u201cLastovo<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, in both cases, as in all purchases in recent years, these are purchases from the used boat market<\/strong>, which is completely different from the previously proclaimed policy of rejuvenating Jadrolinija’s fleet with new ships. Moreover, the state’s desire as a shipping company owner was that such projects also provide an opportunity to activate domestic shipyards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ferry \u201cLo\u0161inj\u201d, which transports passengers on the Lopar-Valbiska<\/a> line, was built in 2010 in Greece and sailed in the area of Greece and the Black Sea. With its accession, Jadrolinija’s fleet now numbers 54 ships<\/strong>, and its average age has been slightly improved by it, to 28.5 years.<\/p>\n

The Jadrolinija Management Board<\/strong> does not answer questions about the procurement of a new ferry that would replace \u201cLastovo\u201d. This case is even more interesting with the fact that the \u201cNovo Lastovo\u201d project was obtained on two occasions through tenders; the first time from the Polish company Remontowa Marine Design & Consulting<\/strong>, and a little over a year ago again for a slightly smaller ship which was designed by Split company Classis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, Jadrolinija is not going to build \u201cNovo Lastovo<\/strong>\u201d, for which domestic shipbuilders were interested at the time. The Management, headed by David Sopta<\/strong>, gives an interesting explanation of why the purchase of used ships is a better solution for Jadrolinija saying that the construction of new ships takes a minimum of three years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jadrolinija further continues by saying that the choice to buy used ships is not only more economical<\/strong> but has a great advantage due to the speed of project implementation<\/strong> and the introduction of purchased ships in the fleet.<\/p>\n

They also state that Jadrolinija is always looking for ships of “younger” age and compliance with all international standards, but also the needs of each line.<\/p>\n

Jadrolinija fleet<\/h3>\n

Jadrolinija’s ships are regularly maintained during annual overhauls in Croatian shipyards and undergo strict controls by the Croatian Register of Shipping.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The oldest in their fleet is the motorboat \u201cTiat<\/strong>\u201d, built in 1955 in Brodosplit<\/strong> and sailing on the line \u0160ibenik-Zlarin-Prvi\u0107 Luka-\u0160epurine-Vodice<\/a>. Two years younger is the ship \u201cPremuda<\/strong>\u201d which sails in the waters of Mali Lo\u0161inj<\/a>, and \u201cPostira<\/strong>\u201d from 1963 which sails in the waters of Dubrovnik<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The oldest ferry is the mentioned \u201cLastovo<\/strong>\u201d, built in 1969 which operates on the line Split-Vela Luka-Ubli<\/a>. The famous \u201cMarko Polo<\/strong>\u201d on the Split-Ancona<\/a> line is also old for inter-Adriatic traffic. It was built in 1973. The youngest ferries were built in 2014 – \u201cBra\u010d<\/strong>\u201d, \u201cKornati<\/strong>\u201d, \u201cKrk<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cMljet<\/strong>\u201d, while the oldest catamaran<\/strong> is \u201cKarolina<\/strong>\u201d (Vis-Split<\/a>) from 1989, and the youngest<\/strong> (also the youngest ship in the entire fleet) is the catamaran \u201cJelena<\/strong>\u201d, which connects Lastovo, Kor\u010dula, Hvar and Split<\/a>, and was built in 2018.<\/p>\n
