The 26-metre passenger vessel sank at its berth in Sjeverna luka on Monday. The maritime ministry reports no injuries or deaths. The cause is under investigation; precautionary measures against pollution have been initiated.
What the ministry confirms
The passenger vessel “Plomin” sank on Monday morning while at its berth in Split's northern port. According to the maritime ministry's statement, the vessel belongs to a Croatian legal entity. The statement says nobody was harmed.
The Split harbour authority is investigating the circumstances and cause. The statement does not explain why the vessel took on water. Speculation about maintenance failings, those responsible or a chain of technical faults would therefore be premature.
Precautions are not yet findings of damage
The port administration initiated preventive measures to limit potential marine pollution. This establishes neither proven oil pollution nor an all-clear for every environmental consequence. The statement does not give a final finding on pollutants.
Do not confuse this with a general suspension of ferries
The news concerns a specific berth in the northern port. It is not an official cancellation of all services from Split. If you have booked a ferry, check your own route's status with the operator rather than inferring a cancellation from the city name alone.
New information on salvage, the cause or environmental effects requires another reliable report. This article records what has been confirmed so far.
