Extraordinary events at sea under the jurisdiction of port authorities were recorded last night and during the night.

PA Dubrovnik / Collision of a fishing boat with a passenger ship at the Gruž port
A maritime accident occurred on July 11 around 21:30 when a fishing boat struck the passenger ship at berth in the Gruž port. The report of the accident was received by the Port Authority Dubrovnik shortly after the incident, and officials immediately went to the scene and determined that there were no injuries or sea pollution. Preliminary investigation found that the fishing boat, due to an unknown technical failure, struck the starboard side of the passenger ship, which was moored without passengers and crew. The fishing boat is owned by a local company, with five crew members on board, while the passenger ship is owned by Jadrolinija d.o.o. and operates on the fast-ferry line 9811S Dubrovnik - Korčula - Hvar - Bol - Split. The line was temporarily interrupted due to the situation, but will be resumed today with a replacement catamaran from Split departing at 15:30.

Two crew members were injured after the boat hit the shore of the Peškera bay, near Voz on the island of Krk. The report was received on July 11 at 23:03 through the County Call Center ŽC112. From MRCC Rijeka, emergency medical staff from Krk were sent to the scene, who took over the two injured Croatian citizens and transported them to the Rijeka University Hospital. No sea pollution was observed at the scene, and the boat is moored and secured until it can be freed and towed. Investigative actions regarding the causes of the accident continue under the jurisdiction of the Port Authority Rijeka.

Crime news desk

The crime news desk operates as an independent editorial team that deals daily with topics requiring particular seriousness, patience, and journalistic responsibility. Our articles emerge from many years of experience working with complex stories involving crime, the judiciary, security challenges, and events that shape society in its most sensitive moments. These topics are handled by people accustomed to working under pressure, verifying every piece of information, and understanding the broader picture behind each case.

Professional work in this field is not based solely on monitoring official reports or court proceedings. Behind every article stands the personal dedication of journalists who have followed the development of criminal phenomena for years, spoken with relevant sources, and sought to bring readers closer to a reality that often remains hidden behind short news pieces. The desk adheres to the principle that no story is “just news,” but a reflection of situations that affect entire communities, families, and institutions.

In our work, great attention is devoted to understanding context: how an event arises, what preceded it, what consequences it leaves behind, and why it matters to the public. That is why the texts often rely on the experience of editors who have followed criminal cases for decades, who know the course of investigations, and who understand the work of police, prosecutors, and courts. Such experience enables us to interpret events clearly and responsibly, without sensationalism, yet with enough detail to give the reader a complete picture.

The desk pays particular attention to an ethical approach to sensitive topics. Every word must be measured, every piece of information verified, and every article written with respect for the people affected by tragic or difficult situations. For this reason, our articles strive for balance: to inform without harming, to explain without prejudging, to bring the public closer to what is happening while remaining professional and dignified.

Through everything we do, we seek to maintain readers’ trust by providing clear, accurate, and credible information about events that often provoke concern and questions. Crime reporting is not just a section but a responsible journalistic discipline that requires experience, seriousness, and a deep understanding of society. Our desk is committed to this every day, convinced that quality information strengthens public safety, trust, and awareness of the realities that shape today’s world.
