WATERWAY PAG – KOŠLJUN
Project Framework and Facts
The four basic pillars of the project
• The town of Pag is set as a maritime and nautical
center and reposition it on the world tourism market in an
attractive year-round destination
• The town of Pag is acquired unmatched competitive advantage
in relation to all other destinations - for a navigable channel and also
the distribution channel that leads directly to new visitors to the city
• The innovative design approach - which allows coverage of the costs of
investments from the very beginning of its implementation,
which ensures the success of the project already under construction
• Preserving the environment during construction - a
strategic prerequisite of success of the project, whereas use the
channel has no negative environmental impacts
Waterway canal Pag – Košljun - yesterday...
• Waterway channel of Pag - Kosljun drawn back in 1987. and again in
2003., the Regional Plan of the City of Pag
• The idea originally comes from the architect
Dinko Milas, former director of the Urbanistic Institute of Croatia
• Milas once said: "It is a natural extension of functional and
natural slope that gently lies on south bay of Pag,
which literally requires connection to open sea."

the magaines for salt storage on the sothern part od city of Pag
. visible .. access part of the old navigable canal bordered by small concrete dams
until storage magazines_ _.
.... Waterway canal Pag – Košljun – nowdays

parts does not exists, that is out of function and that it lacks an exit
to the open sea
• A large area of the bay of Pag, which are connected to a
water area of the existing canals and
abandoned salt fields cluster (usually owned by the town of Pag)

'' It is functional and natural extension of slightly deposited bay of
Pag that literally requires connection to open sea. "
The channel already exists - just missing the passage of 2.1 km
to the open sea!
The development of professional background of the project
• Untill nowdays the Traffic and funcional studies nad Enviromental
impact studies has been finished
• Compleation of field research and analisys of soil materials
• There are project solutions in a form of conceptual solution, techincal
solution, invstment studies, and studies of evalutaion of economic aspects
of project
Preparation of professional material were led by
the eminent Croatian scientific institutions:
• Trafic -Functional study were made ​by the Faculty of Traffic
Engineering, University of Zagreb under the guidance
of Prof. Ljubko Šimunovic and Dr. Jerko Nuić _Geology
and Petroleum Engineering, University of Zagreb
• Preparation of Environmental Impact Studies is coordinated by
the Croatian Hydrographic Institute, Split. It is developed
by a multidisciplinary team of 48 experts from 11 companies and
institutions
• Some tests for the purposes of this study made by Croatian
Hydrographic Institute, lasted longer than three years

"Nautical Center Pag":
Corporate social responsibility and environmental
protection
• At a distance of 200 meters of the existing channel will
clean underwater worldthat is now polluted by the local landfill
• construction of the wall will obscure visibility of the
current dump, which impairs the appearance only 500 meters from
the Old town of Pag
• Pulling out of mud and debris will repaired holes in the area of
Vodice formed by drawing sand. It is particularly important to
reform the area as before the return tooriginal shape regarding
the soil erosion that threatens the area of ​road Bošana

Ecological factors in the construction and use of the
channel
• Comparative trials have clearly demonstrated that the use of the
navigable channel is not affected by the regime and the quality of
surface and ground waterland the soil along the channel
• What has to be concerned with the application of safeguards in the
period of using the channel is expected to reduce the possibility
of contamination of groundwater infiltration and surface water in
the project area and even a moderate improvement on the present
state
• During construction of the canal will be used special
equipment and specific approach in order to reduce total impact on
the salt plants and the city

Project acquires:
– large direct fiscal benefits at the national, regional and local level
– economic impacts of this project are long-term and long
lasting and will increase as the waterway increasingly is being used
The expected effects of increased touristic spending
The construction of the waterway channel will be positively and
significantly affect the development of tourism in the island of Pag and
Kosljun by increasing:

• Expected average extension of the tourist season by an average
of 30additional days, and increase in services related to tourism by 80%
Developing of the Economy
• In the case of the optimal use of sea south of the pedestrian
bridge in the town of Pag and in Košljun bay, and construction of
nautical necessary infrastructure, the newly - added value
only from nautical tourism, can be measured with the current
multiple-effect of neraby marina ACI Simuni
• The channel is an infrastructural facility, which makes
the backbone for the further flourishing economy of the island and
the construction of canal to create long-term foundations
for economic development for the next period longer than 20 years

Access to the project implementation
• The uniqueness of the project and the fact that there is never anything
like that in Croatia has been built, has created a need for a variety of
new approvals and permits
• 14 ministeries are involved in project more than 100 experties of all
areas of science, engineering, and economic expertees
• To obtain all the legal requirements for the project in its entirety, is a
necessary partnership between the state, counties, city and developers
