Sažetak
The Republic of Croatia, as a maritime state, has a particular interest in following unification aspirations in the ordering of maritime law relations. Croatia especially has a duty to ratify and apply the conventions and agreements from the area of navigational safety and their frequent changes and amendments (particularly SOLAS). This is because it concerns the generally accepted international obligations which vessels must fulfill if they wish to freely enter and leave international ports. Similarly, it is undoubtedly in the interests of the Republic of Croatia in the area of maritime business to emphatically accept new international conventions, that is the changes and amendments, in the area of maritime commercial law and to legislate them as consistently as possible in domestic law. Therefore, we must also conform to the modern aspirations that increase levels of liability and step up the liability of the maritime operator in protecting injured parties, for example in sea pollution or transport of passengers. In the Republic of Croatia, the goals of standardizing maritime law in the changes and amendments of the Croatian Maritime Code are being achieved.
