The Ministry of the Sea, Transport, and Infrastructure has approved funding for the construction of the Perna Port, a public port in the Municipality of Orebić.

The Dubrovnik-Neretva County Port Authority has been granted €19.542 million from the Operational Program for Competitiveness and Cohesion.

Perna Port is one of the key infrastructure projects in the county. Along with the Orebić bypass—currently in the public procurement phase for selecting a contractor—its completion will address a crucial traffic issue in the Orebić area and significantly improve connectivity between the island of Korčula and the Pelješac Peninsula.
