History
The Department of Maritime and Transport Law was established in 1995 with the aim of conducting studies, analyses, research and professional projects, providing expert opinions, organizing round tables, seminars and other events covering maritime and transport law topics. The first Head of the Department was Professor Vinko Hlača, and all former members of the Chair for Maritime and Transport Law have participated in its work: Professor Gordan Stanković, Professor Dorotea Ćorić, Assistant Professor Sandra Debeljak Rukavina, Assistant Professor Marija Pospišil Miler and Assistant Professor Iva Tuhtan Grgić.
The present Head of the Department is Professor Dorotea Ćorić and its member Assistant Professor Iva Tuhtan Grgic.

Activities
Members of the Department are regularly involved in various professional and scientific  research  projects. During the last three years they have participated in the research project titled Developing a Modern Legal and Insurance Regime for Croatian Marinas - Enhancing Competitiveness, Safety, Security and Marine Environmental Standards - DELICROMAR,  a project financed by the Croatian Science Foundation.
In addition to scientific and research work, the Department also develops cooperation with national and international organizations and associations important for the development of maritime and transport regulations and standards (Croatian Association for Maritime Law, Croatian Association for Transport Law, Committee Maritime International). Members of the Department regularly attend the annual Adriatic Maritime Law Conference organized by three national maritime associations (Italian, Slovenian and Croatian) in order to discuss recent trends in the field of maritime law.
For many years the Department has been successfully collaborating with the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure in drafting Croatian maritime legislation. Members of the Department were hence involved in the Expert Working Groups for drafting the 1994 Maritime Code, the 2004 Maritime Code and its amendments, as well as for the revision of the Maritime Domain and Seaport Act. In addition to the participation in drafting national maritime legislation, the Department runs consultancy activities relating to the adoption of the relevant international maritime and transport unification instruments.
In 2018 the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure awarded a special recognition to Professor Ćorić for her contribution to the development of the Croatian maritime legislation.
With the aim of promoting science and informing the general public about the news in the field of maritime and transport law, the members of the Department successfully collaborate with  Croatian Maritime Law Association, Croatian Transport Law Association, Croatian Captain Associations, Maritime Domain Portal and others. Equally important is the collaboration with the Croatian Institute of Public Health – the Department of Occupational Health relating to medical fitness examinations for seafarers.

More on mediation

Mediation (conciliation) is any procedure, regardless of the name, in which the parties are trying to settle the dispute amicably (as well as while the proceedings before the court are pendindg) with the help of one or more mediators assisting the parties to reach a settlement , without the power to impose a binding resolution. “Mediator” means one or more persons who, by virtue of the parties' agreement, conduct conciliation procedure.

Reasons to opt for mediation:
1. the mediationn procedure is confidential and informal – gives the parties a better chance of expressing their position and contradictory interests in the dispute,
2. all the details of the dispute are presented, not just their legal interpretation,
3. the parties retain control of the proceedings,
4. improving the communication between the parties and their business relationship continues after the completion of the proceedings;
5. the aim of the proceedings is primarily to protect interests of the parties and to achieve mutual satisfaction with a settlement,
6. costs of mediation are considerably lower and risks of unfavorable court decisions are excluded,

In addition, a party in mediation procedure, mediator or person who otherwise participates in the proceedings cannot be summoned in any other proceedings (court, arbitration) regarding:
1. the fact that one of the parties proposed mediation or was willing to participate in mediation procedure,
2. the views expressed by the party in the mediation procedure,
3. statement of facts or acknowledgment of a request or fact during the mediation procedure if such statements or acknowledgments are not an integral part of the settlement reached,
4. the proposals put forward by the mediator,
5. the fact that party in the proceedings has shown the readiness to accept the proposal of the mediator,
6. a document prepared solely for the purpose of the mediation procedure, or the document for which the parties to the conciliation procedure agree that it will not be used in any other procedure.
