Abstract

This paper analyzes the level of implementation of the ISPS Code in the Croatian ports. The analysis is based on the Port State Control inspections as the most important controlling mechanisms for evaluation of the adherence to the internationalregulations. In this respect the analysis of the security-related measures in ports is carried out implicitly - it is based on the analysis of the security-related deficiencies found on shipssince ISPS Code came into force. The period of one and a half years, from the beginning of the ISPS Code implementation, isconsidered to be representative to provide initial assessment ofthe effectiveness of the implemented security measures. In addition, the paper presents conclusions based on the comparisonof results of security-related inspections in Croatian ports withdata presented by the Paris and other MOU inspection database.
