The municipality of Kostrena (3,897 inhabitants in 2001) is located just south of Rijeka. It wasseparated from Rijeka in 1994. Kostrena is heavily industrialized and includes important prosperous ports and shipyards.
Željko Heimer, 30 August 2003
The symbols of Kostrena are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi Općine Kostrena, adopted on 28 May 1996 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 4 November 1996 in the County official gazette Službene novine Primorsko-goranske županije, No. 25.
The symbols were designed by the Heraldic Art d.o.o. company, from Rijeka.
The flag is in proportions 1:2, dark blue with the coat of arms, bordered yellow, in the middle.
The flag hoisted outside the Municipality Hall (photo) has no yellow outline around the coat of arms.

Coat of arms of Kostrena - Image by Željko Heimer, 25 June 2013
The coat of arms is described in Article 7 of the Decision as follows.
In a semi-circular shield, on a blue field an old-Croatian golden (yellow) ship (korablja) [turned] dexterwise, with a single mast with a silver (white) rectangular sail, with raised [stern-]castle and bow and with a side rudder [steering oar]. At the top of the mast above the basket there is a twice folded red triangular flag.
Korablja is supposedly the name for the kind of ship, although, as far as I am aware, it is simply an archaic word for a ship of any kind, incidentaly also used to mean "an ark", as in the Noah's ark.
