Sažetak
Maritime Law of the Republic of Croatia was changed and amended in
May, 2013. Changes are, among other things, related to carriage of passengers
and their luggage. These changes and amendments served for
harmonization with European Union norms. I specially point out the
legal text about the obligation of applying Regulation No 392/2009 of
the European Parliament and of the Council on the liability of carriers
of passengers by sea in the event of accidents. With that the Republic of
Croatia (and before that with ratification in February 2013) committed
itself to applying Protocol or Athens Convention from 2002 relating to
the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea, with intervening of
the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in the text of the Convention
due to the level of responsibility, as it is valid for the entire EU
area. Adopting the mentioned Convention offers better protection to
passengers because during the international and national carriage by A
and B class ships objective responsibility for his death or bodily harm in
the event of accident is introduced. The existing regulations of the Maritime
Law, which were based on the Athens Convention from 1974 (with
protocols) before its change, are used for the national carriage of passengers
and luggage by ships which are not class A or B and that means
further applying of presumed guilt.
