Distinctive features of a study programme:
• It is the only maritime transport logistics technology study program in the country that studies the global supply chain in a broad sense (logistics and cutoms procedures), with a strong focus on the maritime transport and seaport chain – after all, as much as 90 per cent world international trade is carried out by sea. Such studies provide an opportunity for students to study not only in typical higher education institutions where logistics studies are carried out, but also in maritime academies.
• Marine technology studies and the competencies of the future specialist are based on the needs of the international maritime transport sector and the latest marine technologies and are regulated by the International Maritime Organization conventions, therefore the study program structure and study subjects are similar to those in foreign maritime academies. The student is free to choose studies under the Erasmus + programme at any foreign maritime academy or university, as well as at other higher education institutions that offer studies in the same or related field. This provides an opportunity for graduates to acquire additional competencies and better prepare for the job market.
• Specialized computer based training and electronic simulators imitating real marine freight information systems and port terminals operations in Klaipeda and other seaports are intensively applied in teaching practice and subject studies, therefore students do not have any difficulties in practice or when starting work.
• The programme of basic safety training according to IMO convention STCW part A-VI/1 takes place in the Academy‘s Seafarers' Training Center, using pool, lifeboats and a helicopter lift simulator, firefighting and first aid laboratories.
• In the international maritime transport sector, communication in a foreign language is important, so the study of maritime and business English and optionally a second foreign language is Russian, Spanish or German.
• Lecturers, scientists, researchers, employees and managers of various maritime businesses provide the latest exclusive theoretical and practical knowledge of technologies applied in seagoing ships and ports, cargo terminals, organize study trips to port, shipping and logistics companies.
• Trainees usually work and receive remuneration in seaport companies during their professional practice.
• In cooperation with the Naval Forces of the Academy, students may participate in the training program for commanders of junior officers of the Naval Forces and obtain a reserve lieutenant's military degree and continue their service in the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
