Abstract
Promulgation of the new Croatian Maritime Code (1994) meant not only the partial amendment of the marine insurance provisions from the previous Maritime and Inland Navigation Act (1977) but also the introduction of the new marine insurance provisions. Such significant changes have brought Croatian marine insurance in line with the recent developments of the international marine insurance.
The author's opinion is that the provisions of the Maritime Code should be applied not only to the maritime and multimodal transport but also to thr road and railway transport. He therefore suggests the amendment to the Obligations Act. The author considers the introduction of the third party's right to sue directly the marine liability insurer to be a logical consequence of the fact that the Insurance Act introduced compulsory liability insurance for pleasure boat owners. Accordingly the author deems necessary formulation of the Croatian Marine Insurance Uniform Terms and Conditions as well as Croatian Marine Policy Form, and Croatian Form of Salvage Agreement.
