Acquire knowledge about processes in water transport, technological and organizational characteristics of fleet management, ship maneuvering process and vessel traffic control on inland waterways, planning, development and exploitation of ports.

To apply acquired knowledge on technical and technological properties of water transport technology in solving transport problems in water transport, as well as in defining logistic chains and supply chains. The knowledge on the water transport technology, together with the knowledge acquired in the course Organization of Water Transport, defines the place and role of water transport in the knowledge basis acquired in the courses dealing with other forms of transport (road and railway), and reloading means and technology. The courses that present the knowledge upgrade and process complex knowledge necessary for solving the problem of selecting the most feasible logistic chain (freight forwarding, company logistics, intermodal transport technologies) demand the proper knowledge on the basic forms of transport.

Introduction: basic principles of process management i water transport. Organization and technology of transport process in water transport. Technology of the transport process in water transport.
