-------------------------------------------------
I saw your call for info on the KRILA DUBROVNIKA. This is a classical hydrofoil built in very large quantities in the Soviet Union for very many countries all over the world. For the SFRJ I have noted 8 units on the "KRILA"-name:
(1)KRILA BUDVE,1967, built at the Sudostroitel'nyj Zavod im. Ordzhonikidze, Poti, GSSR,SSSR. 130 grt/86nrt, 35,21 m loa/30,00 m lpp; 9,56 m breadth o.a./6,00 m moulded br; 100 passengers, 2xV-12 cyl. Zvezda diesels, built in Leningrad,SSSR. 1492 kW power for 35,0 knots service speed.
(2)"KRILA DALMACIJE" 1968/built at Feodosija Shipyard, Krym, Ukr. SSR,SSSR.
(3) "KRILA DUBROVNIKA" 1968/Feodosija
(4) "KRILA ISTRE" 1968/Feodosija
(5) "KRILA JADRANA" 1967/Poti GSSR
(6) "KRILA KOSTRENE" 128 grt/89nrt, 33,5 knots SS.
(7) "KRILA SPLITA" 130 grt/86 nrt, 1966/Poti GSSR built, 35,0 kn SS
(8) "KRILA ZADRA" 130 grt/81 nrt, 32 kn SS, 1971 /Feodosija, KRym, Ukr SSR.
The port of registry for these eight ships seems to be SPLIT, Croatian republic,SFRJ-flag. Owner in 1970'ies was registred on INTEREXPORT PREDUZECE, Beograd,SFRJ, operator should be INEX TURIST Nauticki Turizam.
However, probably now changed due to time if nothing else... maybe some have been sold/scrapped etc.
All should be registred at the JUGOREGISTAR successor Croatian Register of Shipping in Split if you check their register book or internet-register or write to them directly.
