Abstract
According to the Maritime Code, the Maritime Domain and Seaports Act and the
Ordinance on the Conditions and Mode of Ordering in Ports and Other Parts of the
Inland Waters and Territorial Sea of the Republic of Croatia, the concessionaire of each
individual port of nautical tourism must issue an ordinance on the order in the port and
conditions of use of the special purpose port. This is a legal requirement arising from the
legal status of the concessionaire of the nautical tourism port, as its managing body. Such
Ordinance shall in particular regulate the means of traffic management in the port, and
the purpose of particular shore areas in the port, whereby the concessionaire in the ports
of nautical tourism shall be obliged to take into account the needs for permanent transit
and operational berths. Furthermore, apart from prescribing the purpose of individual
port areas, the Ordinance also prescribes the reporting procedures, as well as the entering,
mooring, berthing, moving, anchoring and leaving procedures of vessels and how
they ought to be controlled, which is of vital importance for the safety of navigation and
the protection of human life at sea. The Ordinance on the Order in the Nautical Tourism
Port shall apply to the entire land and sea area of the Port, in accordance with the Maritime
Concession Contract for the Construction and Use of the Port. The Ordinance on
the order in port confirmed by the competent port authority shall be effectively publicized.
However, the question that arises is what extent of power nautical port authorities have
if the ordinance provisions are violated, i.e. what are the powers of competent maritimeadministrative
and state authorities (Harbour Master, police). In this paper, the authors
analyse the scope and responsibilities of the nautical tourism port concessionaires with
regard to maintenance of the order in the port. Above all, they explore its legal and practical
role in ensuring the necessary standards of navigation safety, as well as the implementation
of these powers in the practice of domestic ports of nautical tourism (marinas),
with reference to available statistical data that point to the actual standards of navigation
safety in domestic ports of nautical tourism (marinas).
