Description

Ljubacka Vrata, a narrow and deep passage, separates the S end of Otok Page from the mainland and connects the E end of Ninsko-Ljubacki Kanal with the S end of Velebitski Kanal.

A bridge, with a vertical clearance of 35m, spans this passage.

Before entering this passage in clear weather, vessels over 50 grt and all vessels with a tow must sound one long blast.
The vessel which first sounds this signal has the priority to enter and all other vessels must wait outside. Vessels already navigating the passage must answer the single long blast of another vessel by sounding at least four short blasts.

Special signals are required for passage in thick weather and the local authorities should be consulted in this case.

Generally, a current with a rate of 1 knot sets S through Ljubacka Vrata but, at times, a rate of 3 knots has been experienced.
Pilotage through Ljubacka Vrata is compulsory for foreign vessels over 500 grt; pilots are available, with advance notice, at Zadar.
