At arrivals, movements between berths and departure from the Koper freight port, ships must use the following number of towboats, each having minimum 1450 kW:1 capacity. Pool I and Pool III:

ships with gross tonnage from 1500 to 8000 – one towboat, ships with gross tonnage from 8000 to 25000 – two towboats, ships with gross tonnage from 25000 to 40000 – three towboats, ships with gross tonnage over 40000 – four towboats.

ships with gross tonnage from 500 to 3000 – one towboat, ships with gross tonnage from 3000 to 20000 – two towboats, ships with gross tonnage from 20000 to 35000 – three towboats, ships with gross tonnage over 35000 – four towboats.
