Summary: Owing to the new constitutional system of the Republic of Croatia it was necessary to develop and systematically elaborate modern Croatian maritime law on the basis of former legislative solutions and the principles of the existing international conventions. Therefore, it was particularly important to research into the ways of adoption and implementation of relevant international conventions in the EC states. At present, research on some specific subjects has been programmed, such as safety at sea, general limitation of the shipowner's liability, maritime liens (i.e. an analysis of the International Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages, 1993), the problem of salvage, and tort liability for pollution by noxious matter from ships. Many modern solutions in the new Maritime Code of the Republic of Croatia, which are yet to be evaluated and approved of in practice, will require intensive and systematic research.

Keywords: contemporary Croatian maritime law, application of the relevant international conventions, study of the development of maritime law in the European Community

Research goals: The new constitutional system of the Republic of Croatia necessitated new codification in the domain of maritime law. On the basis of laws and by-laws formerly in force and the principles of the relevant international conventions, it was necessary to develop and systematically elaborate new (modern) Croatian maritime law. In this, it was essential to research into the ways of adoption and implementation of relevant international conventions in the EC states. The present aim of our research is to make an in-depth analysis of the Maritime Code of the Republic of Croatia. The research results will be a significant contribution to the stimulation and furtherance of the commitment of Croatia to the Adriatic.
