Sažetak
As a future member of the European Union (EU), Croatia has decided to implement Directive 2002/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council binding all EU member states to define places of refuge for ships in need of assistance off their coasts, or to develop techniques for providing assistance to such ships. Consequently, the Ministry of the Sea, Tourism, Transport and Development of the Republic of Croatia has initiated a project for developing effective «Decision Support System (DSS) for defining the places of refuge for ships in distress at sea». Such system would include a model support based upon GIS and different operational research models, which would eventually result in establishing a single DSS. Basic module is GIS, for all levels of DSS, that comprise information sub-systems about spatial and other data and serves the other modules with data and information. GIS module is divided in several thematic layers with basic information about places of refuges, climatologically and maritime characteristics, hydrographic characteristics, ecological and biological characteristics, existing navigable waterways, maritime limits, boundaries of counties and cities, limits of territorial sea, continental shelf, military zones, topographic data, location emergency services, etc. Starting points for analysis are shipping corridors, and 380 potential locations for places of refuge designated in the official navigational pilot book. Multicriteria analysis, with GIS-generated input data, would be used to establish «worthiness» of a place of refuge for each ship category, taking into account kinds of accident. Tables of «available intervention resources» would be made, as well as analysis of their availability in respect of response time, and quantitative and qualitative sufficiency.
