Abstract
With the enactment of the new Act on Maritime Domain and Sea Ports in the summer of 2023, the
Republic of Croatia has, after many years, established a new contemporary legal framework for
regulating maritime domain and thereby the maritime ports, the most economically significant part
of the maritime domain. The new law aligns the concession model on the maritime domain and ports
with European regulations and the general legislation governing concessions in the Republic of Croatia
after several years of delay. Besides public traffic ports, the law comprehensively regulates specialpurpose
ports, anchorages, and berthing areas. The concession granting procedures now adhere to the
general law and have been adjusted to the specificities of concessions on maritime domain. This paper
highlights the most significant changes introduced by the new legal framework.
