“…In 2019, Kotor had 464 cruise calls and 614,747 cruise passengers' visits (Figures 3 and 4) [10]. Kotor can accommodate three to four cruise ships (up to 250 m length) and has a river berth for smaller cruise ships and three anchorages [22]. Investment in a modern cruise terminal and passenger facilities is required [23] in order to make port of Kotor safe in terms of navigational safety as well as in the terms of sustainability in the full meaning of the phrase sustainable development.…”

The analysis of cruising trends in the Mediterranean regions shows that the Adriatic is the fastest growing cruise region in terms of the number of passenger movements and cruise ships’ port calls among all regions, particularly the central and south part of the east Adriatic coast. The aim of the paper is to analyze leading cruise destination trends in the central and south part of the Adriatic east coast, as well as to identify newly established cruise ships routes, define high-risk navigational and environmental areas and determine cruise traffic density in the vicinity of marine protected areas. The analyses of leading cruise destinations trends are based on four-year (from 2015 to 2019) cruise passenger movement and cruise calls data, whereas analyses of cruise traffic movement are based on one-year cruise ships traffic monitoring (from August 2014 to July 2015). The results of the cruise ship traffic analysis show that cruise ships frequently pass through areas of high navigational and environmental risks that are geographically restricted, navigationally challenging and environmentally sensitive. These routes have become standard navigational practice in newly discovered cruising regions. The obtained results offer a general overview of high-risk cruise ships’ navigational practices in coastal navigation that can be associated with any coastal region in the world.

“…It emphasizes the importance of proper assessment of the amount of ship-generated waste and the establishment of an appropriate ship-generated waste management system. In 2019, Nikčević [13] concluded that pollution of the marine environment by cruise ships with various substances is a potential threat and a major problem for the regions through which cruise ships pass. In order to enhance the positive impacts of cruise tourism and reduce the negative ones, it is important to formulate and implement an appropriate legal measure.…”

In 2019, a new Directive (EU) 2019/883 on port facilities for the reception of ship-generated waste was adopted at the level of the European Union), repealing the old Directive 2000/59/EC of 2000 (hereinafter: Directive (EU) 2019/883). In order to implement the Directive (EU) 2019/883 into the national legal system, in 2021 the Republic of Croatia adopted a new Ordinance on the terms and methods of maintaining order in ports and other parts of the internal sea waters and the territorial sea of the Republic of Croatia (hereinafter: Ordinance) and thus transposed the new regulations on the delivery and handling of ship-generated waste into the Croatian legal system. The aim of the paper is to present the new solutions for the reception and handling of ship-generated waste from the Directive (EU) 2019/883 and to compare the solutions from the Directive (EU) 2019/883 with the Croatian legal framework for the reception and handling of ship-generated waste through a comparative analysis. Finally, an assessment of the creation of an adequate legal framework for the reception and handling of ship-generated waste in Croatian ports is provided, as well as suggestions for filling existing legal gaps. An analysis of the Croatian legal framework has shown that there are mutual inconsistencies, and that there is a need to revise the provisions of the Maritime Code and the Ordinance when receiving and handling of ship-generated waste.

“…At the same time, the author gives guidelines on whether to improve the inspection supervision in the sea of Montenegro to become a full member of the Paris MoU. Moreover, observing the comprehensive legislative, administrative, technical, and financial resources, Nikčević [52] stipulated that the local authorities should pay more attention to avoid the possible intensive pollution and constitute sustainable tourism to the Kotor cruise port. The economic sustainability of passenger ferry transport in the case of the Boka Kotorska Bay in Montenegro is reported in Škurić et al [53].…”

Maritime transport and sustainable development require a recognizable global approach. The state, as the dominant structure in the world, enables the realization of sustainable maritime transport aims through its instruments. Therefore, it is very significant to consider the national maritime policies because the effective implementation of the global policy is impossible without considering the adequate mechanisms at the state level. The adopted Montenegrin strategic documents impact the institutional framework set-up of the Blue Economy (BE) sectors and potentials for ecologically sustainable maritime transport. Although there are no practical directions for the sustainable use of sea resources, Montenegro is affirmatively oriented to the BE concept. Knowing that Montenegro is in the process of the pre-accessing EU phase, it is of importance to be on the right road to creating a national maritime transport policy including environmental practices, to become part of the strategic implementation of the BE. The paper provides recommendations that can serve for the successful follow-up of the BE activities in Montenegro and the wider area.
