Can Marinas Qualify as Places of Refuge?

This article deals with marinas as potential places of refuge. A place of refuge is a port, a part of a port or a sheltered wharf or anchorage, or some other sheltered area where temporary accommodation of vessels and marine facilities is possible in order to render assistance or avoid potential threats to humans, ships and the environment. Marinas, as the most important types of nautical ports, are suitable for smaller vessels. In countries such as the Republic of Croatia, where the development of nautical tourism is of great importance, it is necessary to establish the obligation of the marina to provide assistance or grant access to a ship in distress. Thereby, it is essential to take into account all characteristics of marinas in comparison to other types of ports. In the Croatian legislation, places of refuge are regulated by the Ordinance on Places of Refuge which is in accordance with IMO Guidelines A.949 (23) and A.950 (23) and European Directives (2002/59 / EC). The paper analyzes the suitability of the marinas as places of refuge for vessels, primarily vessels for nautical tourism.
