In this year's first seven months 111,228 tonnes of liquid cargo was
shipped to neighbouring Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Turnover was particularly high in the supply of heating oil,
aviation petrol and other oil products.
The new terminal, a highly sophisticated and entirely automated
floating warehouse, has increased the attractiveness of the Ploce
port, making it the closest and cheapest port for the trans-
shipping of liquid cargo for the Bosnian market.
The Ploce port invested some 40 million kuna (EUR5.4 million) in the
liquid cargo terminal.
