Jadrolinija’s Coastal Ferries will sail from June to October only
According to Jutarnji.hr , Jadrolinija’s Coastal Ferries that connect Rijeka with Dubrovnik via Split, Hvar, Korcula and Mljet , proceeding further to Bari in Italy, will sail from June to October only.
As I said in my previous post, the reason for this is high cost of running this ferry, as it needs 62 crew members to sail while in winter month, there are only in average 7 passengers that are using this ferry.
The author of the article emphasises this information is still unofficial, as official decision about future of this ferry line will be made at the end of February, when authorities will hold meeting with all interested parties.
So, for time beeing, if you intend to travel around Croatia out of June to October period, try not to base your travel plans around Rijeka-Split-Hvar-Korcula-Dubrovnik-Bari ferry.

[...] The first option is to take a ferry from Dubrovnik to Korcula. The trouble is the ferries to Korcula from Dubrovnik are not very frequent; actually, as it seems from this year, these ferries will operate only from June to September. [...]
