Overview
Korčula is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea. It has an area of 279 km2 (108 sq mi), is 46.8 km (29.1 mi) long and on average 7.8 km (4.8 mi) wide, and lies just off the Dalmatian coast. Its 15,522 inhabitants (2011) make it the second most populous Adriatic island after Krk. The population are almost entirely ethnic Croats (95.74%). The island is twinned with Rothesay in Scotland. It is known for Grk, a white wine that is only produced on the island and not exported due to limited production.

View on Google Maps →Port Congestion
Arrivals, time in port and cargo operations detected from AIS — the position-inferred congestion signal, with the full dwell distribution rather than a single average.
Vessels underway broadcasting a destination that resolves to this port, closest first. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals). The computed ETA is steaming time at the vessel’s passage speed, and carries no allowance for a berth queue. The crew’s own reported ETA is shown alongside for comparison.
| Vessel | Type | Distance | Speed | Off port | Crew ETA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LADY ELEGANZA | Passenger Ship | 0 nm | 7.9 kn | 27 Aug | 27 Aug |
| MEMORIES | Passenger Ship | 29 nm | 8.2 kn | 27 Aug | 26 Aug |
| SAN ANTONIO | Passenger Ship | 29 nm | 7.4 kn | 27 Aug | 26 Aug |
Risk & quality
A coverage-weighted blend of recorded Port-State-Control detentions, marine casualties and live congestion at Korcula. Higher means more risk exposure for a ship calling here — it is a count of recorded events, not a judgement of the port's management.
Built from 33% of the three signals (scored on a single signal — treat as indicative).
Method. Each signal is normalised to 0–10 against an empirical cap, then blended weighting safety (detentions 0.40, casualties 0.35) above operational congestion (0.25). A port is scored only on the signals it has data for, and the weights renormalise — a missing signal is never credited as a safe 0.
Coverage. PSC and casualty data here is regional (US, UK, Canada), so most ports show only congestion and carry a low-confidence flag. Detention/casualty counts come from a country-scoped name match (≈60% of US detentions resolve); unmatched records are dropped, not force-fit.
Detention and casualty signals are screened against open port-state-control and marine-casualty records, combined with our own AIS-derived congestion. Updated Aug 27, 2026.
