Proposal for procedures in the event of navigation accidents on inland waterways in Croatia

Procedures in the event of navigation accidents on inland waterways in Croatia are not regulated by any subordinate legislation. Applicability of existing safety aspects of maritime regulations on inland navigation activities are analyzed in order to create a suitable legal basis for proposing procedures in the event of navigation accidents. In-depth asessment of relevant legislation was conducted to determine procedures for salvaging passengers, vessels as well as preventing water pollution caused by inland water transport. Nevertheless, functionality of river information services related to calamity abatement are presented as a support in search and rescue coordination processes. Authors determine an evident lack of search and rescue operations on Croatian inland waterways and propose restructuring of existing services modeled on the Danube river basin countries.
