One of the major problems of transport systems is the movement organization without catastrophes. It is particularly important for the rolling stock of the river fleet. In this paper, the authors propose the evaluation method of the technical condition of inland waterway vessels on the statistics of accidents and disasters of previous navigation. The method is based on the statistics for the small samples

The paper presents the concept of modeling a ship’s operating parameters in order to minimize the fuel consumption in real weather conditions. This is an important innovation because, in ship theory, fuel consumption and speed are usually expressed by average values over longer periods of time, which is a significant limitation. This article presents selected topics of the proposed research such as state-of-the-art, general objectives, scientific and technical expectations, scientific and economic extensions, and environmental impacts. The article also proposes an original method of the research.

The analisys of navigational and weather restrictions for vessels navigating to the port of Svea has been made.
