Ms. Markovčić Kostelac expressed concern over the increasing administrative pressure on the shipowners and seafarers which arises from a wide variety of international and regional regulations.

"We as a social partners in many issues might disagree, but I believe that we could agree and advocating uncompromised but reasonable and knowledgeable approaches to safety, security and environment protection and at the same time rise our voice of concern in respect of growing administrative burden to shipping.

The Assembly further discussed draft amendments to the Maritime Code, as well as European maritime regulations that are in discussion before the bodies of the EU. The shipowners also discussed the value of vessels built in the Croatian shipyards that are unreasonably low priced on the shipping market compared to the actual quality and operational value of the vessels.
As this is a perceptual issue with unfortunately serious economic effects, efforts will be made jointly and separately in touch with brokers on the gradual change of this evaluation, as to outline the actual characteristics of the vessels, their operational qualities, maintenance costs, etc. with a final purpose to objectively valorize the ships.
