The paper addresses the application of the mathematical definition of a particle’s trajectory in maritime traffic. After the introductory definition of the concept of a particle’s trajectory, it goes on to provide a definition of the concept necessary for the understanding of the issues in question: the concept of the manoeuverability. Next, an example is…

In this paper, the research has been carried out on the impact of gross domestic product (GDP) and the number of tourist arrivals (TA) on traffic demand in maritime passenger traffic in the Republic of Croatia. The initial assumption of this study is that the number of passengers carried in Croatian maritime transport (NP) depends…

Education and practical training of the crew members in water transport have been directed towards harmonisation within the EU. One of the basic goals of the project HINT (Harmonized Inland Navigation Transport through education and information technology) is the implementation of inland navigation simulators into the educational process. They might become an alternative way for…

This study describes the distribution patterns and population structure of greater weever in the Adriatic Sea. Biological data were obtained during MEDITS surveys in the spring-summer period. The aim of this study is to provide recent data for better understanding of species biology and to create basis for fisheries management based on ecological approach.

Transport sector is traditionally globally oriented, so education is necessarily connected with standardization. The importance of experience exchange between education centers and schools is obvious. More and more skills that are necessary for specialist in transport sector are connected with logistics and ICT. The most effective approach is that one in which the education is…

Density of sea traffic and an increasing number of ships requires the application of new technologies in vessel traffic monitoring in order to find new solutions for existing problems. The solution is identified through application of e-navigation concept by connecting maritime institutions on shore with ships and vessels for better information sharing and integration. The…

The paper deals with the necessity to look for other potential uses of unconventional sources of raw materials to meet the growing needs of human society. The first part of the paper contains the overview of the materials located in seas and oceans. This part describes the alternatives of mining, the dredging systems for extreme…
