The new refueling spot will be located at the Gazenica port in Zadar, on Croatia's central Adriatic coast. The LNG terminal on the Croatian northern Adriatic island of Krk started operating in January 2021.

It delivers gas to the Croatian national transmission network, which is connected to fellow EU member states Slovenia, Italy, and Hungary, as well as to non-EU members Serbia and Montenegro.

The LNG terminal on Krk has a regasification capacity of 338,000 cubic meters per hour, equal to 2.9 billion cubic meters (bcm) per year.
