Uncategorized – Croatia exports By Category, Economy of Croatia https://croatia-exports.com Croatia exports Wed, 11 Dec 2024 19:32:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 https://croatia-exports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/croatia-exports-website-favicon-color.png Uncategorized – Croatia exports By Category, Economy of Croatia https://croatia-exports.com 32 32 New Tender for Marina Zadar Concession 59,459 square meters : Key Changes and Financial Terms Revealed https://croatia-exports.com/new-tender-for-marina-zadar-concession-59459-square-meters-key-changes-and-financial-terms-revealed/ Wed, 11 Dec 2024 19:32:39 +0000 https://croatia-exports.com/?p=857 The Croatian government has recently annulled a decade-old tender for the concession of Marina Zadar, a facility built by Tankerkomerc. This decision paves the way for a new tender process, expected to draw significant interest from both existing and new bidders. The concession is for a 30-year term, and the updated tender introduces a markedly different set of conditions.

The new valuation for the concession is set at €161 million, compared to the previous valuation of 400 million kuna. Additionally, the concession area has been redefined and expanded. While the prior tender covered 56,211 square meters, with 15,714 square meters of land and 40,497 square meters of sea area, the new tender incorporates an additional 3,248 square meters of maritime property outside the port area. This change results in a total concession area of 59,459 square meters, extending from “Điga” to Vruljica.

Three key requirements distinguish this tender from its predecessor:

Three key requirements distinguish this tender from its predecessor:

  1. Experience Requirement: Applicants must demonstrate at least three years of experience in nautical tourism.
  2. Ownership Change Disclosure: Bidders must commit to notifying the concession grantor and obtaining approval for any significant ownership changes or structural transformations, including mergers or acquisitions.
  3. Revised Financial Terms: The starting fixed concession fee is set at €2.50 per square meter of maritime property, with periodic increments of €0.50 every five years. Similarly, the variable concession fee begins at 5.50% of revenue, increasing by 0.50% every five years.

For context, the earlier tender stipulated a fixed fee of 10 kuna per square meter and a 4% variable fee based on annual revenue.

The government’s decision introduces a fresh approach to managing Marina Zadar’s operations while setting a competitive stage for new investments and ensuring stricter oversight and accountability in ownership changes.

The Museum of Illusions one of the major franchisors from Croatia https://croatia-exports.com/the-museum-of-illusions-one-of-the-major-franchisors-from-croatia/ Wed, 13 Mar 2024 18:53:28 +0000 https://croatia-exports.com/?p=822 The Museum of Illusions is one of Croatia’s best export products and one of the major franchisors from Croatia. Since its inception in 2015, the Museum of Illusions has expanded from Zagreb to over 40 locations in 25 countries worldwide. The newest museum is opening in Atlanta and several other cities in the USA.

The Museum of Illusions, a Croatian export tourist product and pioneer of the “edutainment” museum concept, has opened its doors to a new location in Brussels, Belgium. Thus, the “capital of Europe” has become the 37th city where the largest chain of private museums in the world is present. This is another success and a step closer to achieving the goal of opening 100 locations globally by the end of 2026.

“We are proud of the fact that the world has recognized the unique concept that has, in just a few years of intensive development, grown into a serious global brand and a leader in the ‘edutainment’ industry. We are also proud of the fact that behind every opened museum stands our expert team, managing projects from our office in Zagreb. In order to ensure further expansion, we have doubled our team in the first six months of 2022 compared to the beginning of the year. We continue to grow and expand the Museum of Illusions, and each new opening and the immense public interest show us that we are heading in the right direction,” said Teo Širola, President of the Museum of Illusions.

The Croatian state is selling its majority stake in the Uljanik shipyard for only 9.7 million euros. https://croatia-exports.com/the-croatian-state-is-selling-its-majority-stake-in-the-uljanik-shipyard-for-only-9-7-million-euros/ Wed, 14 Feb 2024 14:25:49 +0000 https://croatia-exports.com/?p=813 The Croatian government, as the primary creditor, has decided to proceed with the attempt to sell the Uljanik company. This time, they did not lower the price. The construction of the 526, an unfinished livestock transport ship, was the card the Uljanik management wanted to play to delay the continuation of the company’s sale. They claim to have multiple buyers interested in the ship. “Proof of the seriousness of the offers is the Business Plan detailing how these funds will be used to further the company’s operations,” said Loris Rak, the bankruptcy administrator of Uljanik Shipyard.

During the previous auction, interested parties for purchasing business shares in Uljanik Brodogradnja 1856 d.o.o. included: Slovenian company Eko Bor, Rijeka-based Adria Mont, Romanian GSP Offshore, and Italian company Micoperi from Ravenna. The Italian company submitted a non-binding offer without specifying a price, while the Romanians stated they want to assess the company’s condition before making an offer. The offer amount from Slovenian company Eko Bor was not disclosed. The only concrete offer this time came from Adria Mont d.o.o.

This entire process unfolds amidst very tense circumstances, as Uljanik Brodogradnja 1856 faces the threat of bankruptcy. In such a scenario, the sale of shares would not be possible.
