January 8, 2022 - In a year of great tourism numbers across the country, where hotels, private accommodations, restaurants, and more in the industry benefited, ferries were no exception. Thus, the Croatian company is preparing for another successful year, as Jadrolinija presented its sailing schedule for 2022.

The first weeks of the year have served to look back on the positive results in the tourism sector in 2021. The state ferry company, Jadrolinija, can also boast of a successful year, as they transported 10.5 million passengers and 3.1 million vehicles, which is 85 percent of what was achieved in the record-breaking 2019 and 40 percent more than in 2020, the first year of the coronavirus pandemic.

As we have entered 2022, HrTurizam.hr reports that Jadrolinija presented its sailing schedule for ferry lines in Croatia, as well as for international lines, such as lines connecting the Italian and Croatian coasts in 2022 through the lines Dubrovnik - Bari, and Split - Ancona.

As the islands directly depend on ferry sailing, everyone in the tourism industry has been organizing and planning according to these developments.

You can check the sailing schedule for all Jadrolinija ferry lines in 2022 here.

Additionally, this year Jadrolinija joined the Maritime Innovation Cluster in Kvarner. Croatia wants to return to the map of the strongest maritime countries, and one of the main goals is to establish a global center for innovation and smart skills in the maritime industry in Kvarner.

Jadrolinija now has 54 vessels, of which 10 are catamarans, four classic passenger ships, three ferries for international lines, and 37 ferries for local lines.

December the 18th, 2021 - There is more than just Jadrolinija to travel between Split and the nearby island of Brac with thanks to the Rijeka-based company Adriatic Fast Ferriers, who have introduced a brand new Sutivan-Split catamaran line.

As Morski writes, based entirely on a private initiative launched by Adriatic Fast Ferries d.o.o. from Rijeka, a brand new Sutivan-Split catamaran line has been launched, which will provide transport between the mainland Port of Split to this popular Brac island location.

The Municipality of Sutivan has said that the initiative to introduce a new catamaran line was launched by a maritime transport company, founded by a Croatian and Swedish entrepreneur with many years of experience in working with shipping and travel agencies under their belt.

The new Sutivan-Split catamarine line will operate over the weekends. It began its very first operations on Friday, December the 17th. On Fridays and Sundays, the catamaran will depart from Split at 16:25, and from Sutivan on the island of Brac, otherwise the third largest island in Croatia, at 17:00.

On Saturday, two lines are planned, and they will depart from Split at 07:25 and at 12:00, while from Sutivan to Split they will depart at 08:00 and at 12:35. The trip will take 20 minutes in total, and detailed information can be found by clicking here.
