Course menu

River Crossing

Data is displayed for the academic year: 2025./2026.

Course Description

Enable students to use vessel resources, select modes, means and types of river crossing areas. Furthermore, train students to work in teams during the project and during establishment of the river crossing area, and for the organization and management of the work at the crossing area with the use of technical protection measures.

Study Programmes
