On July 16, 2022, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, a comprehensive navigation safety inspection named "safe navigation 2024" was conducted. The activity covered all port authorities with an emphasis on preventing maritime accidents during the tourist season when many domestic and foreign vessels are present in Croatian waters.

Within this action, the focus was on controlling navigation speed in prohibited areas, monitoring vessel rentals, and supervising swimmers, divers, and other participants in maritime traffic. Special attention was given to passenger ships conducting day trips and multi-day cruises, aiming to check the validity of ship certificates, the number of crew members, their qualifications, and their alcohol status. Additionally, passenger overloading and compliance with mandatory registrations through the CIMIS system were checked.

In the action, 122 port authority employees participated with 24 vessels, covering a total of 1152 nautical miles.

During the action, some vessels were also used for emergency medical transports. A vessel assigned to the Rab port authority station performed one medical transport, while a vessel assigned to the Šibenik Port Authority carried out four medical transports of patients. Besides that, the action included a search for a swimmer whose disappearance was reported in the morning hours. The search was coordinated between MRCC Rijeka, Dubrovnik Port Authority, and Dubrovnik Maritime and Airport Police. Unfortunately, the swimmer was found deceased.

A total of 427 inspections were conducted during the action, with 141 violations of regulations determined. Fines totaling 97,886.57 euros were issued, and fines collected on the spot amounted to 30,595.53 euros.

Crime news desk

The crime news desk operates as an independent editorial team that deals daily with topics requiring particular seriousness, patience, and journalistic responsibility. Our articles emerge from many years of experience working with complex stories involving crime, the judiciary, security challenges, and events that shape society in its most sensitive moments. These topics are handled by people accustomed to working under pressure, verifying every piece of information, and understanding the broader picture behind each case.

Professional work in this field is not based solely on monitoring official reports or court proceedings. Behind every article stands the personal dedication of journalists who have followed the development of criminal phenomena for years, spoken with relevant sources, and sought to bring readers closer to a reality that often remains hidden behind short news pieces. The desk adheres to the principle that no story is “just news,” but a reflection of situations that affect entire communities, families, and institutions.

In our work, great attention is devoted to understanding context: how an event arises, what preceded it, what consequences it leaves behind, and why it matters to the public. That is why the texts often rely on the experience of editors who have followed criminal cases for decades, who know the course of investigations, and who understand the work of police, prosecutors, and courts. Such experience enables us to interpret events clearly and responsibly, without sensationalism, yet with enough detail to give the reader a complete picture.

The desk pays particular attention to an ethical approach to sensitive topics. Every word must be measured, every piece of information verified, and every article written with respect for the people affected by tragic or difficult situations. For this reason, our articles strive for balance: to inform without harming, to explain without prejudging, to bring the public closer to what is happening while remaining professional and dignified.

Through everything we do, we seek to maintain readers’ trust by providing clear, accurate, and credible information about events that often provoke concern and questions. Crime reporting is not just a section but a responsible journalistic discipline that requires experience, seriousness, and a deep understanding of society. Our desk is committed to this every day, convinced that quality information strengthens public safety, trust, and awareness of the realities that shape today’s world.
