Black Charter Without Navigation within the Unique Vignette Project
Željko Dominis
Abstract
When the new system of charging national and international yachtsmen was started by offering a unique vignette within the e-Nautika project illegal charter of foreign yachts and crafts has been noticed. Namely, foreign guests, taking turns, charter a foreign craft berthed in a marina and do not use her for navigation, cruising, sport or recreation, but exclusively as a form of accommodation for overnight stays and meals. When the season starts such crafts are normally used for navigation just for crew and passenger exchange in accordance with the valid vignette and after that they are berthed, which can be characterised as ‘’black charter without navigation’’. In other words, the observed activity leads to the conclusion that a certain number of crafts in foreign ownership is offered at illegal tourism market.
