[[Ploče]] is a large commercial port in the '''Neretvanski Kanal''', the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]]. It is the principal outlet to the sea for otherwise virtually landlocked Bosnia-Herzegovina. The harbour is situated two miles NW of the entrance to the '''Neretva River''', the largest river in the Adriatic. Although shelter in the port is good, the surroundings are not very attractive, with no concession to the needs of visiting yachts.

Ploče harbour from the S

Ploče is a large commercial port in the Neretvanski Kanal, the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of Croatia. It is the principal outlet to the sea for otherwise virtually landlocked Bosnia-Herzegovina. The harbour is situated two miles NW of the entrance to the Neretva River, the largest river in the Adriatic. Although shelter in the port is good, the surroundings are not very attractive, with no concession to the needs of visiting yachts.

The harbour is best regarded as a port of refuge if caught in adverse conditions along this coast.

In the approach from the S, it is important to give a good clearance to the shallows extending nearly a mile off the mouth of the Neretva River two miles SW of Ploce. The entrance is between the tall headland of Rt Visnjice, which has a light structure on it, and a green starboard buoy half a mile due E. After half a mile the channel curves round to the E and the basin of the commercial harbour opens up a further half mile to the NE.
