Sažetak
The new Act on the Amendments to the Croatian Maritime Code of 2019 brings several new provisions concerning the subject of the social rights of Croatian seafarers. These provisions are a continuation of the social reform for Croatian seafarers initiated by the Act on the Amendments to the Croatian Maritime Code of 2007. The provisions on the social rights of Croatian seafarers of 2019 stipulate the possibility of the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure participating in coverage of the costs of salaries and contributions of seafarer trainees during the traineeship and the cases of “inability” to realise the required 183 days of sailing for the year for which the income tax is determined. The purpose and objective of this paper is to analyse the provisions on the social rights of Croatian seafarers regulated by the Act on the Amendments to the Croatian Maritime Code of 2019. The new provisions on the social rights of Croatian seafarers are compared with the solutions that preceded them. Considering that the pension reform entered into force in the Republic of Croatia in early 2019, the paper also includes an analysis of the provisions on seafarers’ pension that have not changed when the Act on the Amendments to the Croatian Maritime Code of 2019 entered into force. It is concluded that the provisions on the social rights of Croatian seafarers under the Act on the Amendments to the Croatian Maritime Code of 2019 represents an improvement of the protection of the social rights of Croatian seafarers. In order to provide even greater protection, it is proposed to further upgrade the social rights of Croatian seafarers within the Croatian maritime legislation. Future rights should go in the direction of protecting the social rights of women in seafaring.
