Faculty of water transport management

Faculty of water transport management is one of the largest at the university, where over 900 undergraduate students are enrolled full-time.

Faculty was founded on July 22, 1991 by splitting from Ship Navigation and Logistics department.  This separation occurred in 1988 as a result of a new in-demand program- economics, which began to develop actively, especially in the 90s, when the country transitioned to a new economic environment. Until recently, Professor Vladimir P. Nosov had been holding a post of Dean of the Faculty since its inception.

Students enrolled in the Water transport management obtain theoretical knowledge and practical training in the areas of economics and transport. Coursework is related to information processing, transportation management system, and logistics.
