Poseban osvrt će se dati na Konvenciju o radu pomoraca, Pomorski zakonik te podzakonske propise koji predstavljaju važan izvor radnog prava za pomorce kao i dva važeća nacionalna kolektivna ugovora za hrvatske pomorce. Izložit će se važnost upravljanja ljudskim resursima kao jednog od temeljnih resursa u poslovanju svakog poduzeća s posebnim osvrtom na agencije koje posreduju pri zapošljavanju pomoraca.This paper will discuss the status of seafarers' employment as a highly specific profession, and will highlight the importance of the agency involved in their employment through international and national regulations regulating this status.
