RECOVERING AND REMOVAL OF WRECKS AND SUNKEN OBJECTS Dr. sc. Adriana Vincenca Padovan ADRIATIC INSTITUTE OF THE CROATIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND ARTS European Maritime Day, Koper, 30th May 2013

Raising, recovering and removal of wrecks and sunken objects The need for the amendment of the Maritime Code:  raising of sunken objects, including the compulsory wreck removal regulated as a separate maritime law concept until 2004;  In 2004 the entire chapter of the MC dealing with raising of sunken objects and compulsory wreck removal deleted, some administrative issues partly regulated within the chapter on salvage, the explanation being that the raising of sunken objects is simply a form of salvage;  The Law on Inland Navigation and Ports (Zakon o plovidbi i lukama unutarnjih voda) 2007 contains a special chapter regulating the concept of the raising of sunken objects, incl. compulsory wreck removal (similar to the old deleted chapter of the MC 1994);

Raising, recovering and removal of wrecks and sunken objects The need for the amendment of the Maritime Code (ctd.):  Raising of sunken objects and wreck removal: primarily administrative maritime law concept (relationship owner of wreck - State);  Salvage: private law (relationship owner of the salved property – salvor);  Removal of (substandard) ship as regulated under the Art of the MC is not wreck removal;  Lacuna in the law – no rules regulating the procedure and the regime of liability relating to the raising, recovering and removal of sunken objects and wrecks.

Raising, recovering and removal of wrecks and sunken objects MC 2013 PART VIII, CHAP. VI. (arts. 840.a – 840.z): RAISING AND REMOVAL OF WRECKS AND SUNKEN OBJECTS  Primarily administrative law provisions regulating the relationship between the owner of the wreck/sunken object and the State;  plus private (incl. property) law provisions: the law of finds and the private law implications of the abandoned wrecks/sunken objects.

MC 2013 PART VIII, CHAP. VI. (arts. 840.a – 840.z): RAISING AND REMOVAL OF WRECKS AND SUNKEN OBJECTS II. PROVISIONS ON RAISING OF WRECKS AND SUNKEN OBJECTS  Administrative procedure, regulating the relationship between the owner of the wreck/s.o. that voluntarily undertakes the raising/recovering operations and the state (no determination of hazardness);  Licencing and control of the operations;  The law of finds regarding abandoned wrecks/s.o.  Special procedure for the rasing/recovering undertaken by the State and by the bona fide finder of wreck;  Custody of the recovered wreck/s.o. by the State or bona fide finder;  Acquisition of ownership over the abandoned wreck by the bona fide finder;

MC 2013 PART VIII, CHAP. VI. (arts. 840.a – 840.z): RAISING AND REMOVAL OF WRECKS AND SUNKEN OBJECTS II. PROVISIONS ON RAISING OF WRECKS AND SUNKEN OBJECTS (ctd.)  Due respect to the minimal protection of the original (unknown) owner's rights through the prescribed provisions of notification, periods of prescription.  The rules on public sale of the recovered wreck/s.o. snd the distribution of the proceeds.  Liability of the contractor performing the raising operations – subjective, presumed  The contractor's lien and the right of retention of the recovered wreck/s.o. securing his claim for the costs of the operations.

MC 2013 PART VIII, CHAP. VI. (arts. 840.a – 840.z): RAISING AND REMOVAL OF WRECKS AND SUNKEN OBJECTS III. PROVISIONS ON COMPULSORY REMOVAL OF WRECKS AND SUNKEN OBJECTS  Implementation of 2007 Nairobi WRC, plus extention to all the other sorts of sunken and stranded objects (not only wrecks as defined under the 2007 WRC);  Determination of hazard;  Reporting, locating marking and removal of wreck/s.o. (administrative procedure)  Owner's liability for the removal costs – strict liability  Compulsory insurance for the costs of wreck removal (all vessels over 300 GRT)  No limitation of owner's liability  Limitation of the insurer's liability – LLMC 1996  Direct action against the insurer;
