Abstract
Maritime domain is the “family’s silver” of the Republic of Croatia. As it is not part of trading
relations, it cannot be the subject of ownership relations. It is exploited and used in a way that is
regulated through specific maritime law institutes, primarily via concession. Croatian Legislation,
appreciating the needs for the development of maritime domain, regulates other maritime law
institutes that complement those legal and life phenomena for which it is not possible to adapt the
institute of concession. According to the amendment of the Law on Maritime Domain, seaports have
introduced the maritime domain permit institute. The Legislator, aware even previously, through
the institute of concession and through simplified procedure, which is significantly different from
concession, and now through the institute of permit in maritime domain, which must include all
those uses, i.e., uses on the maritime domain for which the concession institute is not suitable.
In this paper, the essential features of permit in maritime domain are presented through analysis
of the normative framework governing permits in maritime domain either directly or indirectly.
Furthermore, the differences between permits in maritime domain and revoked concession approval
are pointed out, as is the need for additional legal arrangements.
