Sažetak
The Maritime Code of the Republic of Croatia was amended and supplemented in May 2013. Among other things, the amendments to the section on the carriage of the passengers and their luggage were passed. In passing these amendments and supplements, harmonisation to the standards of the European Union played an important role. Special emphasis is put on the legal text on binding implementation of the Regulation 392/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on the liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents. By passing these, previously ratified, amendments, the Republic of Croatia has committed to implement the 2002 Protocol to the Athens Convention relating to carriage of the passengers and their luggage by sea, including the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Reservation and guidelines relating to the limit of liability, which will be applicable in all Member States. Putting into effect the aforementioned Regulation a greater degree of protection is provided to passenger by introducing objective liability in the event of death or personal injury caused by a shipping accident, instead of presumed fault applied prior to the amendments to the Maritime Code, under the 1974 Athens Convention (including protocols).
