As part of the SUSPORT project, the Rijeka Port Authority installed LED lighting on about 1.7 kilometers of the Rijeka Breakwater

The works carried out by the company Elektro-energetika from Zagreb cost HRK 1,384,198.75 including VAT, and in several stages the poles were replaced and LED lighting installed. With this project, the entire Rijeka Breakwater is equipped with ecologically sustainable and energy-efficient public lighting that ensures minimal electricity consumption, low maintenance costs and minimal CO2 emissions. In addition, the favorite promenade of the people of Rijeka shined with a new glow in its entire length, and gave the passenger port and the center of Rijeka a new view from land and sea.

Thus, in addition to large infrastructure projects in the port area for the development of the cargo port, the Rijeka Port Authority continues with investments in the development of the passenger/nautical port in the center of Rijeka and other facilities important to the citizens and visitors of Rijeka for smooth and safe access to the port area and the sea.

The project is co-financed by EU funds from the Susport project, according to the financing model 85% of the project value comes from the Interreg Italy – Croatia program, and 15% comes from the Rijeka Port Authority's own funds. In addition to the Rijeka Breakwater lighting project, the Rijeka Port Authority plans to use funds from the Susport program in 2022 for the purchase of an electric vehicle and the installation of a charging station for electric cars at the beginning of the Rijeka Breakwater.
