HRSIB Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of HRSIB
Sibenik Port is the seaport of Sibenik, in the city of Sibenikin Croatia. Overseas routes include Europe, Port code is HRSIB.
Port Overview
Sibenik Port, identified by UN/LOCODE HRSIB, is an Adriatic seaport on Croatia’s eastern coast, approximately 28 nautical miles northwest of Split. Its naturally sheltered setting supports general cargo, dry bulk, timber, aluminium-related cargo, passenger vessels, fishing boats and pleasure craft. The port record identifies two berths with a reported depth of 10 metres, shore cranes equipped with grabs and approximately 20,000 square metres of open storage. The recorded maximum vessel dimensions are 229 metres in length, 7.4 metres in draught and 17,110 tonnes deadweight. For our forwarding team, HRSIB is primarily a project, breakbulk and dry-bulk gateway rather than a port to be treated as a standard high-frequency container hub. Berth, cargo-handling and vessel-acceptance conditions should be reconfirmed for every shipment.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
- Berths: The supplied port data reports two berths with a depth of 10 metres. Berth assignment, alongside restrictions and permissible sailing condition must be reconfirmed with the local port contact.
- Shore equipment: Shore cranes with grabs are reported, making the port particularly relevant to suitable dry-bulk and grab-compatible cargo operations.
- Open storage: Approximately 20,000 square metres of open storage are reported. Availability, ground loading limits, segregation and cargo protection requirements should be confirmed before delivery.
- Cargo scope: Regular traffic includes general cargo and fishing, passenger and leisure vessels. The record does not establish a dedicated container-terminal service, so container handling should not be assumed.
- Inland collection and delivery: Our service team can coordinate road pre-carriage, but vehicle dimensions, loading access, route restrictions and appointment procedures must be checked against the actual cargo.
Routes & Transit Times
- Adriatic connection: International cargo is generally planned through the Adriatic short-sea and regional shipping network, with the exact transhipment point, vessel nomination and sailing schedule depending on cargo type and carrier acceptance.
- Breakbulk and bulk routing: Fertiliser inputs, timber, clay, aluminium and other non-containerised cargoes may be arranged as port-to-port or charter-linked movements when parcel size and equipment requirements justify it.
- Container routing: Because the supplied record does not confirm regular FCL/LCL services, our team should compare HRSIB with alternative Adriatic container gateways before issuing a firm routing proposal.
- Timing variables: Actual transit depends on transhipment, berth congestion, weather, vessel draft, cargo readiness, customs formalities, road permits and the availability of suitable inland equipment. Any transit indication is subject to operational confirmation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Regional hinterland: Sibenik serves cargo moving to and from central Dalmatia and the wider Croatian Adriatic region, with inland distribution primarily requiring coordinated road transport.
- Import bulk: The port record specifically identifies phosphates, alumina and potash as import cargoes, commonly associated with fertiliser and industrial supply chains.
- Export cargo: Reported export commodities include fertiliser, timber, clay and aluminium. Packaging, moisture protection and lifting points should be matched to the cargo and handling method.
- General cargo: Machinery, industrial materials and other breakbulk shipments may be feasible, subject to berth suitability, crane reach, piece weight and storage arrangements.
- Seasonal traffic: Passenger, leisure and fishing activity may affect local operating conditions, berth planning and road access during busy periods; the final plan should be checked with the port-side agent.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off and berth coordination: HRSIB shipment cut-off, receiving window, cargo readiness deadline and documentation cut-off are shipment-specific. Our service team should obtain written confirmation from the nominated carrier, terminal or local agent before dispatching cargo.
- Dangerous goods: Fertiliser, chemicals, mineral products and aluminium-related cargo may fall under dangerous-goods or special-handling rules depending on classification. The shipper should provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, SDS and multimodal dangerous-goods declaration where applicable.
- Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, origin information and any product-specific permits must be consistent. Customs inspection, scanning, sampling or documentary review can change release timing and storage costs.
- Weight and loading controls: Our team should verify gross mass, piece dimensions, centre of gravity, lifting points, packaging strength and road-equipment limits before confirming the inland leg. Vessel draft and under-keel clearance remain subject to final port approval.
Shipping Tips
- Send cargo specifications early, including commodity, HS code, packing method, total and piece weight, dimensions, volume, moisture sensitivity and whether the cargo can be handled by grab or requires slings and spreaders.
- For bulk and breakbulk shipments, request a preliminary berth and equipment plan before finalising the vessel nomination. Confirm open-storage availability and the permitted storage period in writing.
- For containerised cargo, ask our service team to validate equipment release, empty-container positioning, terminal acceptance and any transhipment requirement rather than assuming a regular HRSIB service.
- Keep an alternative Adriatic gateway or road delivery plan available when the shipment is draft-sensitive, time-critical, oversized or dependent on a specific crane, vessel type or sailing window.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can HRSIB be used for standard FCL or LCL shipments?
The supplied port record does not confirm a dedicated regular container service. Our team will check carrier acceptance, container handling, transhipment and inland alternatives before quoting a container routing.
What vessel size can call at Sibenik?
The record notes a maximum recorded vessel length of 229 metres, maximum draught of 7.4 metres and maximum deadweight of 17,110 tonnes. These are reference figures, not automatic acceptance limits; the specific vessel and sailing condition require approval.
Is the reported 10-metre depth sufficient for a 10-metre-draft vessel?
Not necessarily. The reported berth depth and the recorded maximum draught should be treated separately. Under-keel clearance, tide, trim, seabed conditions and port restrictions must be checked for the nominated vessel.
Which cargoes are most suitable for this port?
The port record specifically identifies phosphates, alumina, potash, fertiliser, timber, clay and aluminium, in addition to general cargo. Final suitability depends on cargo presentation, lifting method, storage needs and regulatory classification.
How should oversized or heavy cargo be arranged?
Provide dimensions, weight distribution, lifting points, packing drawings and road delivery details at the quotation stage. Our team can then check vessel acceptance, crane requirements, route restrictions and any permit or escort needs before booking.
Data Sources & Provenance
Port code, name, country, city, coordinates, cargo profile, berth count, reported depth, storage area and vessel reference parameters are taken from the supplied HRSIB port record. These figures describe the source record and should be reconfirmed with the appointed port agent or terminal before operational commitment.
Customs and import/export compliance checks should be validated against the current Croatian customs authority information at carina.gov.hr. This reference supports regulatory verification only and does not establish berth availability, carrier schedules, terminal cut-offs, charges or vessel acceptance.
