Sažetak
Based on the Maritime Code, the Maritime Domain and Seaports Act, and the Regulation on the Conditions and Methods for Maintaining Order in Ports and Other Parts of the Internal Sea Waters and Territorial Sea of the Republic of Croatia, each port authority is obligated to adopt a Port Order Regulation for one or more ports open to public traffic under its management. This obligation arises from the legal status of the port authority as the entity responsible for managing ports open to public traffic. The regulation specifically governs: the designation and use of individual parts of the port; conditions for vessel entry, mooring, docking, securing, relocation, anchoring, and departure; the location, scope, and manner of conducting port activities; the organization and use of port areas for commercial and other purposes; the marking of port boundaries; safety measures, environmental protection, and other related matters. Of particular importance is that the regulation prescribes measures for maintaining port order, including actions authorized to be taken by port security officers. The Port Order Regulation applies to both the land and maritime areas of the port, as defined by the decision or decree establishing the respective port authority. Prior to its adoption, the regulation must receive approval from the competent harbour master’s office, and it must be publicly published after adoption. This paper specifically analyzes the powers and responsibilities of port authorities in enforcing port order, with a focus on their role in achieving required maritime safety standards and implementing their statutory powers in the context of Croatian ports open to public traffic.
