European Legal Sources on the Execution of the Obligation to Count and Report Data on Passengers and Ship Crew Members
Željka Primorac
Sažetak
This paper analyses the European legal sources on the execution of the obligation to count, report and transfer data on passengers and crew members of ships sailing to and from EU ports (Directive 98/41/EC, Directive 2002/59/EC, Directive 2010/65/EU, Directive (EU) 2017/2109).
The paper reveals the specificity of the provisions in question and the problem of the incomplete transposition of European legislation into the national legal systems of the EU Member States, which is particularly manifested in non-harmonised, complicated and multiple procedures for reporting and transferring similar data about ships (including data on the total number of people on board – passengers and ship crew members), and consequently in the greater administrative/financial burden for shipowners.
The paper further analyses the legal provisions that include the application of modern technological achievements in maritime transport, the digitalisation of the reporting obligation and the electronic system for collecting and transferring data about persons on board for multiple purposes, including the provisions on unifying, simplifying and coordinating procedures for electronic registration and transfer of the said data for ships according to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/1239, which will come into force on 15 August 2025.
In this way, the paper shows to what extent the EU’s longstanding goals have been achieved regarding the modality of adapting the existing legal provisions to the challenges of digitalisation and modern maritime navigation, ensuring greater efficiency in the implementation of search and rescue measures for persons on board, and helping to resolve the consequences of maritime accidents.
