Sažetak
As being identified as global issue, identification and analysis of ballast water origins and its trends is of highlighted importance. In accordance with that, aim of this paper is analysis of preparedness for Croatian ports which are in process of implementation of International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM). Quantities and origin of ballast water is observed in ten year interval, with analysis from year 2014 to 2017. All data were presented as mean±standard deviation and sum of all Croatian ports. One-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to identification of significance of differences between observed years (2014-2017). All data was processed using data analysis software system Statistica 13.2 (Dell Inc., Tulsa, USA). Type I error was set at α=5%. Additionally, results indicate that Croatian ports are not prepared for implementation of BMW Convention, which is primarily connected to deficit of port based facilities and inadequate monitoring via Croatian Integrated Maritime Information System - CIMIS. The results of this study contain integrated guidelines for implementation of convention and indicate necessity of additional effort investment with aim of minimising risks connected to ballast water transportation, which contain risks regarding protection of ecosystem and human health.
