Sažetak
This paper analyses from comparative point of view the provisions concerning oil pollution damage and civil liability as specified in the 1969 Civil Liability Convention, and 1971 Fund Convention, as well as amendments made by Protocols of 1976, 1984 and 1992. It also analyses the provisions contained in the new Maritime Code of the Republic of Croatia.
Althogh, according to the author, there was not much success in international codification of maritime law which is concerned with the problems of oil pollution damage, the author believes that the wide acceptance of the new rules at international level could be expected soon.
Considering the maritime and tourist orientation of the Republic of Croatia, the author points out Croatian interests in preserving its coast and sea from oil pollution damages. Although the new rules of 1994 Croatian Maritime Code are drafted in a clear and modern way, the author pleads for several amendments as the only possible objective rules, and give directions for the proposed amendments.
