Get PDFPravno uređenje morskih luka je jedno od najsloženijih pitanja pomorskoga prava. Važnost ove tematike je još veća nakon osamostaljenja Republike Hrvatske i uvođenja tržišnog gospodarstva. Ova knjiga prvi put cjelovito i sustavno obrađuje ovu temu. Knjiga je podijeljena na 13 poglavlja. Prilog knjizi su i tekstovi relevantnih zakonskih propisa. Također je vrlo vrijedan iscrpan popis literature, te bilješke uz tekst.The extensive text of the book is divided into thirteen parts. Part I is an introduction. Part II is a historical review, of the legal status of the sea ports and coast in the territory of the Republic of Croatia until the coming into force of the Sea Ports Act of 1995. The author describes various legal acts ranging from Roman law to the Maritime Code of 1994. Part III is a historical review of the legal status of the seaports and coast on the territory of the Republic of Croatia after the coming into force of the Sea Ports Act of 1995.This act stipulates two types of ports (those open for public traffic and those for special purposes). The author points out some problems: transition of socially owned ports, legal status of a port object (inmovable assets), priority concession, relationship between priority concession and free zone. Part IV deals with the relationship between concession charge, communal charge and water charge. In the maritime domain (including the port territory) the concessionaire is obliged to pay a concession charge for economic exploitation or special use of the maritime domain. At the same time he must pay a communal charge to the county authorities and o water charge to ''Croatian Waters''. The author argues that the concession and communal charges are identical. He points out the legal problems of interpretation in the jurisprudence and jurisdiction of the Croatian superior courts. In conclusion, he thinks that the problem has not yet been solved. Part V consists of the cadastre and land register of sea ports as maritime demesne. Part VI is a detailed account of the legal status of the ports of Split, Rijeka and Ploce (seaports open to public traffic on international significance for the Republic of Croatia). Also, the author discusses the international treaty concluded between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in connection with free transit through the territory of the Republic of Croatia in and from the port of Ploce and through the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Neum (1998). He thinks that the treaty does not serve Croatian interests. In conclusion, the author proposes solutions de lege ferenda. Part VII describes the legal status of Croatian seaports and ports in internal waters which are open to passenger and cargo traffic. In particular, the author focuses on the new laws: the Maritime Code (1994), Seaports Act (1995), Waters Act (1995) and Ports in Internal Waters Act (1998). He analyses similarities and differences between particular provisions concerning the questions of division of ports, port activities, port authority, concessions for port activities, and transformation of social ownership. In Parts VIII-XI, Italian, Slovenian, Bosnian-Herzegovian and Montenegrin legislative solutions are elaborated. Part XII includes the relevant solutions of the new Croatian Act of Maritime Demesne and Sea Ports which come into force on October 15, 2003.

The first Chapter is devoted to the oil pollution from ships in general, with an emphasis on the necessity of international unification of legislation for both the victim of pollution and the party liable for its occurrence. The second Chapter provides a summary of the fundamental features of the 1969 Civil Liability Convention and the 1971 Fund Convention. The third Chapter deals with the amendments of the ''old'' regime. For this reason, the author elaborates on the most significant provisions of the 1992 Conventions, pointing out the differences between the ''old'' and the ''new'' regime. The fourth Chapter examines the oil pollution laws of the USA, which has not accepted the international convention system. The fifth Chapter deals with the analysis of the admissible claims for pollution damage in accordance with the Conventions. In the sixth Chapter the author elaborates on the liability regime regulated by the Croatian maritime legislation. She analyses the provisions of the Maritime Code, which have been adjusted to the 1992 Convention. Finally, Chapter seven provides an overview of a number of problems related to the application of the two liability regimes, and gives an insight into the future of the international oil pollution system. The author concludes that the presented oil pollution compensation regime has contributed enormously to the protection of the marine environment. The book is written clearly and systematically. We recommend it not only to the maritime lawyers, but also to everyone involved in a practical way with the carriage of oil by sea
International conventions and protocols as sources of Croatian maritime law
Get PDFU radu se analizira uspješnost međunarodnih konvencija i protokola s obzirom na postignuti stupanj unifikacije pomorskog prava. Uočavaju se poteškoće u pogledu donošenja i postizanja šire prihvaćenosti pojedinih konvencija i protokola. Iznose se prijedlozi za otklanjanje i ublažavanje tih poteškoća. Posebice se proučava postignuti stupanj unifikacije međunarodnog uređenja materije prijevoza stvari morem, općeg ograničenja odgovornosti brodovlasnika kao i pomorskog prijevoza putnika i prtljage. Ukazuje se na to da svako od tih pitanja uređuje više konvencija i protokola što se ocjenjuje nepoželjnim. Osobita se pažnja posvećuje položaju RH s obzirom na njenu obvezanost tim međunarodnim ugovorima. Iznosi se i argumentira prijedlog da RH otkaže Međunarodnu konvenciju za izjednačenje nekih pravila o teretnici iz 1924. (Haška pravila) i Konvenciju o ograničenju odgovornosti za pomorske tražbine iz 1976. Naglašava se potreba sadržajno jednakog pravnog uređenja pojedinih pitanja na međunarodnoj i internoj razini. Odluka o obvezivanju nekom konvencijom ili protokolom mora biti temeljena na stručnom mišljenju i donesena u cilju zaštite interesa hrvatskog pomorskog poduzetništvaThe lack of uniformity is a major problem of international maritime law. In this paper the author analyses the level of unifi cation achieved in respect of three important subjects: carriage of goods by sea, limitation of shipownerʼs liability and carriage of passengers by sea. The author points out main obstacles for achieving wider acceptance of maritime conventions and protocols relating to these topics. He also makes some proposals for overcoming and reducing such obstacles.
Special attention is devoted to the conventions and protocols ratified by the Republic of Croatia. The author suggests that Croatia should denounce the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law relating to Bills of Lading (Hague Rules 1924) as well as the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, (LLMC 1976) remaining the party only to their respective protocols (Visby Protocol 1968 and SDR Protocol 1979 amending the Hague Rules; 1996 Protocol amending LLMC). He strongly recommends that substantially similar rules of maritime law should be applicable at the international level as well as at the internal level
The global limitation of the shipowner's liability and the doctrine of forum non conveniens
Get PDFAutor objašnjava smisao načela forum non conveniens u pravu zemalja common law pravnog sustava. Analizira noviju sudsku praksu u svezi s primjenom toga načela u sporovima o utvrđivanju granice odgovornosti brodovlasnika. Autor podržava stajalište izraženo u najnovijim sudskim odlukama da sud koji primjenjuje granice odgovornosti brodovlasnika utvrđene Konvencijom o ograničenju odgovornosti za pomorske tražbine iz 1976. nije zbog toga nužno prikladniji da odlučuje od suda koji primjenjuje (niže) granice odgovornosti utvrđene Konvencijom o odgovornosti vlasnika pomorskih brodova iz 1957. godine.The author elaborates the meaning of the principle of forum non conveniens in the common law legal system. He analyzes the court decisions applying this principle in the matter of global limitation of the shipowner's liability. The author agrees with the opinion expressed in the latest court decisions that the court applying the limits of liability prescribed in 1976 Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims is not necessarily ''more convenient forum'' than the court applying the (lower) limits of liability prescribed in 1957 International Convention relating to the Limitation of Liability of Owners of Sea-going Ships

Daje se kritički osvrt na neke odredbe Pomorskog zakonika RH. Zaključuje se da hrvatski Pomorski zakonik uglavnom prihvaća rješenja Atenske konvencije, ali postoje i određeni propusti koje valja ispraviti.The author is comparatively analysing the provisions of the 1974 Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and theit Luggage by Sea regulating the time-bar for actiones for damages arising out of the death of or personal injury to a passenger, and the corresponding solutions of Croatian internal law. At the internal level, the time-bar for those actiones has been regulated by the provisions of the 1994 Croatian Maritime Code and by the Croatian Law on Obligations. The author gives a critical review of some provisions of the Croatian Maritime Code. He concludes that the Maritime Code mainly incorporates the solutions of the international instrument. However there are some failures which have to be corrected
