Sažetak
Cruise traffic in the Mediterranean region including Adriatic region has significantly grown since 2000, as well as popu- larity of the Adriatic cruise destinations. The demand for competitive itineraries and exciting passenger experience brings cruise ships to navigationally restricted and environmentally sensitive areas and the pressure to make itineraries more appealing will grow in the future. The aim of this paper is to present cruise ships routing practices in South Adriat- ic East coast region with focus on the island of Mljet (Nationa Park) and the island of Lastovo and its archipelago (Na- ture Park). The paper analysed the data on cruise ships over 50 000 GT for five months (August, September and Octo- ber 2014 as well as June and July 2015) obtained by Marine Traffic. Longitudinal and transversal cruise routes interac- tion and their tendency to pass close to the islands shore have created zones of high navigational, safety and environ- mental risk. The monitoring revealed high-risk zones: south shores of Lastovo island, passage between Sušac island and Lastovo island and passage between Lastovo island and Mljet island. The results of five months cruise ships traffic monitoring showed that high-risk navigational routes are planned deliberately and they have become standard naviga- tional practice and routine. Operational demand for attractive cruising routes and rich passenger experience brings cruise ships too close to the shores on various challenging navigational situations that can compromise ship safety but also marine environment The further development of cruising industry in the South part of the East Adriatic coast has to be well planned and monitored from the aspect of navigational safety. Future expansion has to be in line with imple- mentation and development of routing systems, efficient traffic control and maritime regulations.
