The pilot - only an adviser?

Branimir Lukšić ; Split, Hrvatska

Abstract

The author argues through an analysis of maritime practice, legal theory and statutory enactments that the pilot is not only an expert adviser but that he takes charge of and conducts a vessel. He distinguishes between conducting and commanding and points out that by recognizing that the pilot conducts a ship no charge in the nowadays widely accepted regime of liability would ensue. He proposes, consequently, a rewording of Article 34 of the Maritime and Internal Waters Navigation Act presently in force in Croatia.
