Influence of Transition to the Renewable Energy Sources on Maritime Transport, Sustainable Development and Labour Market Policy; Proceeding from the fact that sustainable development is the key principle of Environmental Law, this research aims to determine whether transition to renewable energy sources has contributed to its intensification,  but also to the decreasement  of pollution and increasement of expenses in maritime sector as well.

The Environmental Impacts of Maritime Shipping; The aim is to establish, by using scientific method, whether our hypotheses according to which cruise ships are greater polluter than cargo ships in the Adriatic Sea is founded. The other question that should be considered within this research is whether air pollution from ships is already declining as a result of implementation of several international and European regulations obliging to emission reduction.

Research team for the development of planned maintenance of ship systems work in the field of marine engineering, specifically in fault analysis, reliability assessments and maintenance optimization of ship systems and machinery including analyze, dinamical modeling, evaluation and  create a solution for the optimum maintenance interval of ships systems.

research team follows the trends in new technologies for the exploitation of renewable energy sources and explores the ways of applying these technologies in area of maritime affairs. The new technologies include solar energy application, fuel cells, wind capturing, mechanical energy from the motion of tides and waves.  The team investigates the production of energy from renewable resources, its distribution, storage and transformation, as well as its use for ship's propulsion and drive of other marine systems.
