Abstract

With the growing competition on local freight markets, organization and management of freight transportation and fleet operation are aimed at ensuring the competitiveness of shipping com­panies on relevant local freight markets and getting sufficient profit from the current market situation. There are several issues to be considered in this research: the problem of optimization of the pro­cess of vessel repair by using economic and mathematical models that would provide a shipping company within a free market, and full liberalization of the tramp shipping a sustainable position on the relevant local freight market that would contribute to obtaining the greatest possible profits by holding a particular cargo base and regular customers.
