Logistics & Technical

The primary maritime gateways are the Port of Gruž and the modern ACI Marina Dubrovnik, situated in the sheltered Ombla River inlet. The coastal bathymetry is characterized by significant depths reaching 40-60 meters close to the city walls, necessitating precise anchoring or use of designated mooring buoys. The seafloor is predominantly a mix of mud and sand with high holding capacity. Navigational caution is advised regarding the "Bura" (NE wind) which can descend from the mountains with high velocity, though the nearby Elafiti Islands provide an effective outer barrier.
