A single 300-metre berth dredged to 18.5 metres lets Bakar (HR BAK) take Capesize bulkers of up to about 150,000 dwt – the heavy end of what the Rijeka port system can handle. Operating as Rijeka's dry-bulk outport in the deep Bay of Bakar on Croatia's Adriatic coast, the terminal moves iron ore, coal and bauxite, with annual capacity near four million tonnes. Coal and iron ore still made up roughly 45% of the Bakar terminal's revenue in 2024, underlining how central bulk remains here. It deliberately keeps the dusty cargoes away from Rijeka's container basins, which handle boxes, breakbulk and reefer traffic instead. Rail and road links carry the bulk inland toward Croatian, Hungarian and Austrian industry. Bakar is not a container call: shippers needing boxes use Rijeka's Brajdica and deep-sea terminals. For ore and coal bound for the northern Adriatic hinterland, however, this is the right quay.
