65th session of the Mare Nostrum Assembly was held today in Dubrovnik with participation of Members of the Assembly, its director, deputy minister of the Maritime affairs, transport and infrastructure Mr. Zdenko Antešić and Minister's Assistant Mr. Igor Butorac. The work of the Assembly was attended by Mr. Patrick Verhoeven, general secretary of the ECSA. In his address Mr. Verhoven greeted the association of Mare Nostrum to ECSA, and presented the current activities of this important Organization.
The Assembly decided that Mare Nostrum will be represented in the ECSA Governing Commitee by the Assembly President and director of Mare Nostrum, while the deputy will be the deputy President of the Assembly.
In his address to the Assembly, Mr. Butorac presented the basic elements of the Maritime Development Strategy and the upcoming legislative activities.
The Assembly adopted a program draft for subsidizing trainees which will be submitted to the responsible Ministry of the Maritime Affairs. Based on the program, 180 trainees are expected to be boarded on Croatian shipping company ships in the next 2 years, for which the State Budget is to ensure 6.5 mil. HRK.
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.
