Comparison of Waste Management Plans in the Ports of the Republic of Croatia

Brojne međunarodne konvencije uređuju problematiku sigurnosti plovidbe, segment gospodarenja s otpadom u plovidbi, te zaštite morskog okoliša od onečišćenja.

Planom o gospodarenju otpada s brodova u lukama detaljno su propisani uvjeti koji se moraju ostvariti, a osobito obavljanje inspekcijskog nadzora nad njihovom provedbom.Numerous international conventions regulate the issue of safety, the waste disposal segment, and the protection of the marine environment from pollution.
