Ferries and freight share the quays at Pula, the Adriatic port on Croatia's Istrian peninsula. On the cargo side it handles bulk, break-bulk, RoRo and limited container shipments; on the passenger side it is a busy ferry hub, with several operators linking Italy and Adriatic destinations. The city's shipbuilding tradition (the Uljanik yard) remains part of its identity, though the sector has run into serious financial trouble in recent years. Road and rail tie the port into the Istrian hinterland, while relatively modest depths cap the size of vessels it can take. For high container volumes or deep-draught ships, forwarders turn to Rijeka or to Koper in Slovenia.
