Abstract
On June 19, 2003 in Geneva the convention on sailors’ identification documents was adopted. This convention replaced convention no.108 of 1958 by the same name. The Croatian parliament brought in the Ratification of Convention no.185 Act of 2003. Previously, the Convention of 1958 had not been ratified. Thereby, the Republic of Croatia included greater safety of sailors in the system of international maritime navigation at a global level as well as greater passenger, crew, vessel, state and individual safety. The contents of the Convention were divided among article 18 and three appendices (I.II.III.) The third appendix has two parts: Compulsory requirements and recommended steps and procedures. It creates numerous legal and other obligations for various subjects. This Convention has otherwise been in force since February 9, 2005. To date, 18 counties have ratified it. Next, the bringing in of regulations for implementation and extending the computing system for issuing biometric maritime documents follows. This is a data base which guarantees sailors’ privacy and the implementation of a permanent data centre (‘points’) in the country.
