The Imlementation of the Nairobi International Convention on the Remowal of Wrecks, 2007 in the Croatian Law

The Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks, 2007 (Nairobi WRC 2007) establishes uniform international rules aimed at ensuring the prompt and effective removal of wrecks located beyond the territorial sea and, under certain circumstances, within the territorial sea. Authors analyse the objectives and general principle of the Nairobi WRC 2007 and illustrate the need to adopt rules and procedures to ensure prompt and effective removal of wrecks. The paper is focused on the compensation of costs therein involved, as well as the impact of its entry into force. Mindful of the fact that wrecks may pose hazard to navigation and marine environment, an evaluation is made of the provision on salvage and wreck removal in the Croatian Maritime Code, 2004 and legal analyses is provided which proves the benefits of incorporating the Nairobi WRC 2007 into Croatian law. In authors’ opinion the implementation of legal instruments included in the Nairobi WRC 2007 will contribute to laying foundations of firm jurisdictional basis for dealing with hazardous wrecks and provide coastal states with legal certainty for action
