Sažetak
The improvement of safety, security and efficiency of maritime traffic as well as the prevention of pollution are among the main concerns of scientists around the world. Maritime safety and security are imperatives to the interests of any nation whose borders include coastal waters and ports. Increasing economic activity throughout the world means more ships, more cargo, and more traffic in ports, coastal areas and regional waterways. To ensure safety, to prevent human injury or loss of life, and to avoid damage to the marine environment, and to property a number of conventions has been adopted. Pollution of sea could be caused by harmful effects from the land, air, oil pipelines damages, during marine scientific research, dumping etc. However, the biggest threat comes from vessels. Emissions of oil, water ballast, petroleum, and wastewater are the most common and dangerous. Important roles in the fight against water pollution, especially in pre-venting environmental catastrophes have international organizations and national legislations. However, in-ternational rules do not regulate all situations and problems. Therefore, national states have important role in preventing maritime safety.
