Sažetak
In this article the author analyses the problem of limitations of responsibility of stevedores. In case of damaged goods, there are two doubts: can the damaged party (recipient of the goods) also sues, other the carrier, stevedores who caused the damage during their operations and could the principles of responsibility for the sea carrier be applied to the stevedores in the case of an extra – contractual responsibility?
In this paper above mentioned doubts are analyzed by calling upon international conventions.
Together with the analysis of international sources, the provisions of national legislations, primarily of French and Croatian law, are also examined.
Special attention is given to Rotterdam rules and the consequences of their application to the legal status of a stevedores pro futuro.
In conclusion the author points to the need and benefits of creating special regulations on the business operation of a stevedores and their legal status.
