But that could be over for the time being from mid-June.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to information from conversations with staff on site, the <a title=\"INA fuel station for cars and boat fuel station in the harbour of KRK in Croatia\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ina.hr\/en\/station\/krk-obala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INA fuel station<\/a> in the harbour of Krk is to be closed from 15 June 2026 until further notice. According to the current situation, both the boat fuel station and the directly adjacent road fuel station for cars opposite are affected. Repair and construction work was cited as the reason. A reliable statement on the duration of the closure is therefore not possible at this time. Whether the closure is permanent or only temporary also remained open, according to staff.<\/p>\n<p>No official confirmation of the scope and schedule of the work was available by the time this article went to press. The information comes from a conversation with fuel station staff on site. The facility in question is located on the western edge of Krk&#8217;s town harbour on the promenade \u0160etali\u0161te Svetog Bernardina 8 \/ corner of Lukobran and has a marine fuel station that can be approached directly from the water.<\/p>\n<p>The closure would have considerable practical consequences for boaters. Particularly during the high season, Krk is one of the most important supply and fuelling points in the entire Kvarner area for many crews \u2013 not only for the island of Krk itself, but also for trips towards Rab, Cres, Lo\u0161inj or back to the mainland. Anyone based in Krk or chartering from there frequently uses the station as the last or first fuel stop of their trip.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<style>.overlay {background:transparent; position:relative; width:100%; height:480px; top:480px; margin-top:-480px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"overlay\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"google-maps\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSBzdHlsZT0id2lkdGg6IDEwMCU7IiBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lmdvb2dsZS5jb20vbWFwcy9kL3UvMS9lbWJlZD9taWQ9MUlQTGNnQmU3Z3V5MWJqY1JBMm1Wb0xwcWpCcDIwcVEmZWhiYz0yRTMxMkYmbm9wcm9mPTEiIGhlaWdodD0iNDgwIj48L2lmcmFtZT4=\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-b brlbs-cmpnt-cb-google-maps\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/brlbs-cb-google-maps-main.png')\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\">\n<p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>Google Maps<\/strong>.

The most practical alternatives at present (in addition to the Flash fuel station mentioned) are: Marina Cres \u2013 west of Krk, easily accessible for trips towards Cres\/Lo\u0161inj; INA Crikvenica Fuel Station \u2013 on the mainland opposite the island of Krk; INA Novi Vinodolski Fuel Station \u2013 to the southeast on the mainland, a practical alternative for many return routes; Rab Fuel Station \u2013 for skippers on the north\u2013south route along the Kvarner.<\/p>\n<p>Croatia does have a comparatively dense network of maritime fuel stations \u2013 around 70 stations are accessible along the coast \u2013 but the failure of individual locations can quickly lead to longer journeys and waiting times, particularly during holiday periods. For crews based in Krk, the priority in the coming weeks will therefore be clear: <em>&#8220;Fuel up early, plan for alternatives \u2013 and make a quick phone call before casting off to check whether your preferred station is actually open,&#8221;<\/em> advises Denis Lipovac from the <a title=\"SeaHelp bases in Europe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/en\/seahelp-europe-base-operations-centres\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SeaHelp operations centre<\/a> in Punat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SeaHelp TIP: Interactive fuel station map in the SeaHelp APP.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60252\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60252\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-09-21_seahelp_bootstankstellen_kroatien-1200x675.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-60249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-09-21_seahelp_bootstankstellen_kroatien-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"SeaHelp APP: Boat fuel stations\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-09-21_seahelp_bootstankstellen_kroatien-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-09-21_seahelp_bootstankstellen_kroatien-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-09-21_seahelp_bootstankstellen_kroatien-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-09-21_seahelp_bootstankstellen_kroatien-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-09-21_seahelp_bootstankstellen_kroatien-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-09-21_seahelp_bootstankstellen_kroatien.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60252\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"copy-span-inline\"><a class=\"copy-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/de\/templates\/dark-realistic-smartphone-mockup\/399355001?prev_url=detail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\u00a9 Deeplab | Adobe Stock<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Download the SeaHelp App:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"display: inline-block; float: left;\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=mwmbb.seahelp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18396 size-full alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/app-store_google_seahelp-app-1.png\" alt=\"SeaHelp App with emergency call function for Android smartphones\" width=\"300\" height=\"89\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: inline-block; float: right;\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/de\/app\/seahelp\/id387967419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18390 size-full alignnone\" title=\"SeaHelp App with emergency call function for Apple iPhone smartphones\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/app-store_apple_seahelp-app-1.png\" alt=\"SeaHelp App with emergency call function for Apple iPhone smartphones\" width=\"300\" height=\"89\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block; clear: both;\"> <\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"copy-span-block\">* device or telecommunications service charges may apply<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>24h EMERGENCY EUROPE: 0043 50 43 112<\/h2>\n<p>In an emergency, SeaHelp rescue boats can be reached via the convenient <a title=\"SeaHelp emergency call app at sea\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/en\/emergency-call-app-seahelp-apple-iphone-android\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SeaHelp App<\/a>, or by calling the free European emergency number <strong>0043 50 43 112<\/strong> (or the alternative European emergency number 00385 919 112 112).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: 01.09.2026 The INA petrol station KRK is open again as usual following completion of the repairs.
