Let’s shape the future of the seaport together!
Worldwide, 170 countries have 4,702 seaports and inland ports. Around 90 ships arrive daily at the largest port in Europe, the Port of Rotterdam, and about 20 ships arrive at the Port of Klaipėda. To speed up ship handling, artificial intelligence and autonomous cargo robots are used, which can reload in one hour as much cargo as a typical worker team would handle manually in a week.


What will you learn?

This programme prepares highly qualified seaport engineering specialists who are in demand on the international job market. Graduates gain comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge to design, operate, improve, and maintain seaport infrastructure, engineering structures, and equipment. 
Unique to this programme in Lithuania, it combines engineering and management disciplines, meeting international standards for work on ships and in seaports.  
Students develop: 
  • Theoretical knowledge and practical skills 
  • Ability to work in international teams 
  • Competence in implementing sustainable and innovative solutions 
Graduates will be able to: 
  • Apply principles of seaport maritime transport, mechanical engineering, and management to understand and solve complex maritime challenges 
  • Analyze port infrastructure and shipping processes, identify problems, and propose solutions that meet technical, economic, and environmental standards 
  • Select and use modern cargo handling, ship navigation, and transport technologies, including automated systems, AI, and digital data management tools 
  • Design and maintain port infrastructure, terminals, and cargo handling equipment, ensuring efficiency, durability, and compliance with international safety and environmental standards 
  • Plan and manage shipping operations using advanced communication, information and management systems 
  • Solve engineering tasks individually or collaboratively, using specialized software, technical tools, and experimental equipment 
  • Assess environmental impacts, implement pollution-reduction strategies, and apply circular economy principles for sustainable resource use 
  • Prepare applications for international projects, integrating innovative technologies and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams 
  • Understand and apply international maritime standards, legal regulations, and ethical norms for responsible engineering practice.

WHERE CAN YOU MAKE AN INTERNSHIP?

  • The duration of the internship of the port and shipping engineering management  study programme is 4 months:

Admission Requirements

  • Secondary School Graduation Certificate with good results (minimum 60% CGPA)
  • Entrance score (KB) consists of grades in three subjects: mathematics (M), physics/another science subject/social science subject (F) and English language (A). The entrant's grades are normalized to the maximum possible grade. The normalized grades of individual subjects are multiplied by the weighting factor and added up (formula below). 
  • Applications must be accompanied by legalized English translations of all transcripts. Unofficial copies are not accepted. Please check country specific requirements for detailed information. 
  • English language proficiency.
  • Due to significant differences in applicants' achievements in Mathematics, applicants who have graduated from secondary or vocational schools in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Nepal are required to take the Mathematics entrance exam organized by OMPT. The exam grade will be included in the Entrance score in place of the mathematics grade. The exam must be passed with a result of no less than 60% for admission to university-level Bachelor's degree study programmes and 50% for admission to professional Bachelor's degree study programmes.
