NEED AND ADDED VALUE FOR THE DANUBE REGION STRATEGY
Navigation companies operating on the Danube have been experiencing acute scarcity of staff with different levels of training and qualification. The crewing shortage is expected to become even more serious, because of Ukrainian economic integration with European countries with subsequent forming of the common labour market.

- the full-scale education system for obtaining degrees of personnel training;
- the faculty of water transport in Izmail of KSMA;
