Contemporary salvage right in the function of marine environment protection

Spašavanje je svaka akcija poduzeta radi otklanjanja opasnosti koja prijeti osobama ili stvarima na moru. Spašavanje ljudskih života na moru je obvezno i propisano je odredbama pomorskog upravnog prava, dok se imovinsko pravo spašavanja odnosi na spašavanje broda, tereta i drugih imovinskih interesa. Potrebi za zaštitom ljudi i imovine u novije vrijeme pridodana je i potreba za zaštitom morskog okoliša. Za uspješno spašavanje imovinskih vrijednosti spašavatelju pripada nagrada za spašavanje koja ne može biti viša od vrijednosti spašenih stvari. To je izraženo engleskim načelom no cure no pay što znači bez korisnog rezultata nema ni nagrade za spašavanje. U hrvatskom pravu, spašavanje je regulirano Pomorskim zakonikom. Spašavanje je na međunarodnom nivou bilo vrlo rano unificirano. Važan pomorskopravni propis bila je Međunarodna konvencija za izjednačavanje nekih pravila i spašavanja na moru iz 1910. godine koja je 1989. godine zamijenjena novom Međunarodnom konvencijom o spašavanju. Osnovne promjene koje su donesene novom Konvencijom ogledaju se u poticanju spašavatelja na sudjelovanje u zaštiti mora i sprječavanju onečišćenja morskog okoliša.Salvage is any action taken to eliminate the danger that threatens people or things on water. Saving lives at sea is required and prescribed by the provisions of the maritime administrative law, and the property law relating to the salvage ship, cargo and other property interests. Necessary for the protection of people and property in recent time has been added to the need for protection of the marine environment. For the successful salvage of property value salvors shall be rewarded for the salvage, which can’t be higher than the value of the saved items. It is expressed in English principle of no cure no pay which means no useful results no prizes for salvage. The Croatian law, salvage is regulated by the Maritime Code. Salvage, at the international level, was very early unified. Important marine and regulation was the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules and Salvage at Sea, 1910, which in 1989 was replaced by a new International Convention on Salvage. The major changes that have taken the new Convention are reflected in encouraging salvors to participate in the protection of the sea and the prevention of pollution of the marine environment
