They’ve renovated 5 ports which fall under their jurisdiction: Mrljane on Pašman Island, Silba Žalić, Pakoštane, Vinjerac and Božava on Dugi otok. In 2021, three additional ports will be reconstructed, Tkon, Drage Dugovača and Kali Batalaža.

The goal of this project is to improve the quality of the ferry route Biograd – Tkon. Total value of the project is about 4.2 million €. The second project is extending the Drago Dugovača port, which will then be able to accommodate both regular-sized ferries and smaller tour boats. The project is worth about 3.2 million €.
