Logistics & Technical

The harbor is characterized by a concrete quay and a small breakwater, with depths alongside ranging from 2 to 3.5 meters. The seabed is a reliable mix of sand and mud, offering high holding power. While the port provides adequate shelter from the prevailing NW Maestral, it is critically exposed to strong NE winds (Gregale), which can create a dangerous surge within the basin. Careful monitoring of the barometric pressure is advised during the autumn months.
