Sažetak
Adriatic Sea, as part of the Mediterranean, is one of the semi-closed seas, and is therefore particularly vulnerable to all kinds of pollution. For this reason, much attention has been paid to the prevention of various types of marine pollution from ships, from oil pollution, problems of introducing a foreign species with ship's ballast waters and air emissions. But it lacks information of marine pollution from ship's wastewater in the scientific literature. Such pollutions are primarily related to the cruise ships as they transport from 2000 to 5000 passengers and therefore are known as ˝floating cities˝. Looking at the regulations for wastewater discharges from ships it can be concluded that the Croatian Register of Shipping has applied the minimum requirements of Annex IV of MARPOL Convention. However, with the increase of cruisers in the Adriatic Sea, the question arises whether this is enough. The aim of this paper is to explore the technology of wastewater treatment on cruisers, the quality of discharged water and the impact on the purity of the Adriatic Sea.
