Considering the fact that Croatia is a country that wants to attract investment projects of higher added value whose business is linked to the modern technology and innovation as well as internationalization of the businesses, CroNoMar together with its Croatian and Norwegian partners had conducted numerous of negotiation processes in 2016 which have resulted with new contracts for the boats to be delivered in 2016/2017. Each boat is negotiated separately and it is tailored according to the final customer wishes.  At this moment, there are 12 aluminium catamarans under construction at NCP shipyard in Šibenik and 1 monohull vessel at Tehnomont shipyard in Pula. It is important to note that new contracts are including new design, new models, and considerable technical improvements creating a well-known Croatian product for international aquaculture market.

That means not only the growth in revenue and earnings, but also new employment of various profiles of workers in the Croatian shipbuilding and engineering sector.

End-November, 3 new catamarans will be delivered to Norwegian customer and one of these boats is the first of that kind produced in Croatia. The plan is to deliver 2 more catamarans by the end of 2016. Including these exports within 5 years’ time an impressive figure of 59 exported catamarans and 3 service vessels for Norwegian and other international aquaculture markets will be achieved. Boats built in Sibenik are used in daily operations at the fish farms all around the world and service vessels built at Tehnomont are so far used only in Norway for supply, maintenance and servicing of the fish farm. 

The whole project of building work boats in Croatia for international aquaculture market started in 2010 via CroNoMar. CroNoMar has also been a mediator in all of these contracts and relevant partner in project implementation and finalization both to Croatian and Norwegian partner. Thanks to product quality and competitiveness in relation to other producers, the project of building aquaculture work boats for international customers has been continued by contracting of new models and types of ships.

The main goal of CroNoMar is to connect Croatian and Norwegian companies, identification of market needs and providing access to the new markets in order to strengthen the competitiveness and export potential of Croatian entrepreneurs, especially small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the marine/maritime sector in Croatia. This innovative company was established in 2009 and since then helps entrepreneurs from the region and entire Croatia on the way towards the foreign markets, and is successfully identifying and creating new business opportunities for the further breakthrough of quality Croatian products on the world scene.

These examples of successful cooperation show that on the international market there is room for everybody who can offer a competitive product or service of high added value with guarantee of quality. Precisely this type of partnerships is prerequisite for economic growth is ensuring the production growth, new investments, and new, well-paid jobs.
