Offshore construction for the replacement of the 110 kV submarine cable between Krk (Mali Bok) and Cres (Merag) started in early February 2024, as part of the second stage of HOPS’s EU‑funded project to replace aging island interconnection cables. This phase, executed by KONČAR – Inženjering with the cable‑laying vessel Atalanti, covers nearly 30 km of new 110 kV links including the approximately 7.5 km Krk–Cres section, and by 21 February 2024 offshore works were actively under way and inspected on site by the Croatian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development.
