Navigation Notes
Rijeka operates as a major commercial hub and the primary northern Port of Entry for vessels arriving from Italy or Slovenia.58 It provides deep-water commercial quays and immediate access to heavy industrial supplies. Passage: The Velebit Channel, located to the southeast of Rijeka, is the geographic birthplace of the most violent Bora winds in the Adriatic. Navigators must respect local pressure gradients meticulously, as the Bora can strike with little to no visible warning.
