Port Of Vukovar
Port of Vukovar ( hr, Luka Vukovar, sr, Лука Вуковар) is Danube River port in eastern Croatian town of Vukovar. As the only Croatian river port on Danube ''(excluding minor tourist and fishing ports in Vukovar, Batina, Ilok)'', Port of Vukovar developed during the XX century into one of the largest ports in Central Europe and the largest river port of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. At the time, the port transloaded up to 1.5 million tonnes of cargo annually. Today, the port is the largest river port in Croatia reaching the post-war peak in 2006 when 970,000 tonnes of cargo was transloaded. After that, the port was heavily affected by the 2008 economic crisis handling mere 175,000 tonnes of cargo in 2009 and only partially recovering by 2018 when 350,000 tonnes of cargo was transloaded. The port primarily serves business from Croatia and neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the Battle of Vukovar port infrastructure was heavily damaged or co ...

Ports And Harbours Of Croatia
A port is a maritime facility comprising one or more wharves or loading areas, where ships load and discharge cargo and passengers. Although usually situated on a sea coast or estuary, ports can also be found far inland, such as Hamburg, Manchester and Duluth; these access the sea via rivers or canals. Because of their roles as ports of entry for immigrants as well as soldiers in wartime, many port cities have experienced dramatic multi-ethnic and multicultural changes throughout their histories. Ports are extremely important to the global economy; 70% of global merchandise trade by value passes through a port. For this reason, ports are also often densely populated settlements that provide the labor for processing and handling goods and related services for the ports. Today by far the greatest growth in port development is in Asia, the continent with some of the world's largest and busiest ports, such as Singapore and the Chinese ports of Shanghai and Ningbo-Zhou ...

The Battle of Vukovar was an 87-day siege of Vukovar in eastern Croatia by the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), supported by various paramilitary forces from Serbia, between August and November 1991. Before the Croatian War of Independence the Baroque town was a prosperous, mixed community of Croats, Serbs and other ethnic groups.

In 1990, an armed insurrection was started by Croatian Serb militias, supported by the Serbian government and paramilitary groups, who seized control of Serb-populated areas of Croatia.
