point of view but also from legal and financial point of view. Every shipbuilding project
involves a number of areas of law (civil law, maritime law, corporate law, law of financing,
insurance law) and different governing laws (law of contract, law of the vessel’s flag, law
governing insurances, governing law of supply contracts, classification rules, international
laws and conventions). The author writes about certain legal aspects of shipbuilding and
delivery of a vessel taking into consideration Croatian and English legal aspects of shipbuilding
in Croatian and international shipyards. Although the topic is very complex, the author
is setting out some of the most essential provisions of a shipbuilding contract, fundamental
rights and obligations of the contract parties, effects of breaches of contractual obligations,
legal aspects of vessel’s delivery, the role of classification societies
