Abstract
The paper aims at discussing the Institute of Maritime Towage in BIMCO (TOWCON TOWHIRE 2008 and 2008) and the UK Standard Conditions and at seeing what de lege ferenda intervention of the Croatian legislator should make in order to harmonize the Croatian law with international standards. It reviews the concept and types of towing and the division of liability between tug and tow. Additionally, an overview on the Croatia Maritime Code is provided focused on the tort in the case of collision and salvage operation. Finally, the author is urging for rules on a reciprocal or mutual indemnification.
