Croatia is preparing to find prospective buyers for two of its shipyards by 2025. This move is part of the government's strategy to revitalize the shipbuilding industry, which has faced financial challenges in recent years. The targeted shipyards include 3. Maj Brodogradiliste and Uljanik Brodogradiliste, the latter currently undergoing bankruptcy proceedings. Both have been significant players in the field of shipbuilding, contributing to the national economy and employment. Local authorities are expected to launch a bidding process to attract potential investors. The initiative aims to secure financial stability for the shipyards, allowing them to modernize their operations and improve global competitiveness. This effort aligns with Croatia's broader economic strategy to boost industrial sectors, enhance technological capabilities, and open new markets. The outcome could signal a transformative period for the country's engineering and transport sectors.
