Abstract of the Rules on Internal Order within the Port of Koper Zone

In Chapter II, the Rules on Internal Order within the Port of Koper Zone determine – among other things – the following:

• Clients may only enter the enclosed zone (operations area) of the Port of Koper with a valid Permit issued by the competent service of Luka Koper d.d.
  
  
• Surveillance over individuals who enter the port zone is performed by security personnel who have the right to require that any person submit a Permit and a personal identity document. If required, security personnel are also entitled to implement procedures in compliance with the Private Security Act (inspection of baggage and belongings, examination of vehicle interiors, superficial inspection of outer garments).
  
  
• Permits shall be issued by the General and Maritime Protection Service (hereon in: the protection service) upon a client's legitimate written request.
  
  
• A Permit holder is obliged to use the shortest and most direct route to reach their destination facility within the port zone, which the protection service may check, and, upon any eventual violation, direct the Permit holder to use the prescribed route. In the event that a Permit holder refuses to follow such instructions, a security officer has the right to remove such a person from the port zone.
  
  
• The Permit is valid from the date of its issue until the expiry date stated in the permit, and this shall be for a maximum of one year.
  
  
• In addition to the Permit, the Permit holder is obliged to keep a valid personal identity document upon their person at all times.
  
  
• A permanent Permit may also be issued to the personnel of contracting companies who operate from a base within the port zone, or perform work within the port zone for an indefinite period of time.
  
  
• A permanent Permit, as described in the previous item, shall be issued on the basis of an applicant's written request, which sustains reasons for entry into the port zone, together with a personal identity document (ID card, passport, driving licence or any other valid official document bearing a photograph) which the client shall submit to security officers.
  
  
• All visitors are obliged to inform the security officer at the port gate as to the purpose of their visit and the name of a person they intend to visit.
  
  
• The Permit is issued in the name and surname of an identifiable individual or the registration plate of a vehicle; as such, it is not transferable.
  
  
• The lending of a Permit to another person, or use of a Permit by persons other than its holder is not permitted, and shall be sanctioned by a temporary or permanent revocation of that Permit.
