The issue of intermodal transport connection between Czech Republic and the seaports
Procházková, Markéta ; Novák, Radek (advisor) ; Kolář, Petr (referee)
The subject of the thesis is the analysis of the intermodal connection between Czech Republic and the seaports. The importance of this connection for the Czech Republic as for an open economy with a large volume of international trade is undervalued. The connection between Czech Republic and the ports is mainly provided by the container combined transport road -- rail. It is necessary to pay attention to the development of this field as it has a potential to be the most effective way of transport considering both economical and environmental criteria. The aim of the thesis is to survey the issue of intermodal connection with the ports, to evaluate the current status and future development options, including the barriers to this development. The result of the thesis is an analyzed current situation: the ports to which Czech Republic is connected have been determined as well as the modes of transport and the key players on the Czech market that provide the shipping services to the ports. A significant part of attention is paid to METRANS, a.s. which is the leading provider of intermodal transport services between Czech republic and the ports. A major problem associated with the development of combined transport is the harmonization of the conditions between road and rail transport. There is one chapter of the thesis which is devoted to this issue. Thanks to the information obtained from companies operating in the intermodal transport business, it was possible to calculate the costs related to the transport of the consignment by road and rail route, to highlight the problems in the daily operation of combined transport, to identify the weaknesses that may hinder the development of the METRANS or to bring other real outcomes.

International Maritime Conferences
Kozlová, Marcela ; Sato, Alexej (advisor) ; Rožek, Petr (referee)
The aim of this work is to discover, describe and trace future trends in maritime liner conferences. Maritime transport plays a key role in world trade and with the increasing globalization its importance is growing. At the same time, the container traffic increasingly dominates the world trade. Container traffic is currently awaiting a series of fundamental changes and challenges. The work has two parts. In one of them is discussed what the shipping conferences are, how have they arisen and what have been their current developments. In the second part I try to draw possible conclusions on how the situation develops in the future, after their last exception has expired. I also work to include chapters on the most current and important shipping routes and ports.

Import of goods to European Union with focus on seaborne container transport
Milková, Andrea ; Novák, Radek (advisor) ; Kolář, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis describes seaborne transport of goods in general, and furthermore specifies the current dilemma of existing cartels - conferences - in this industry. I also describe containerization, general situation on container transport market with a hint of latest information about this market. Next chapter describes legislative rules of European Union that shape import of goods to Union. As it was not possible to describe all of them, I concentrate only on those rules involving import of containers. The goal of researching EU import legislation was to familiriaze myself with all activities and information, which an importer must take care of and possess, before he gets in touch with a shipping carrier about the transport itself. I managed to mention the most basic and important points, which importers of goods must apply.
