Fučík, Stanislav ; Číž, Radim (referee) ; Musil, Petr (advisor)
This thesis addressed the monitoring of maritime traffic. The aim was to evaluate current solutions in the field of maritime traffic monitoring and to design and create new solution. The proposed solution is powered by solar panels and Li-Ion batteries. For sending data, satellite and mobile connections is be used. As a source of information about position GPS is used. The monitoring unit is equipped with sensors for measuring temperature, humidity, acceleration, intrusion of into the container and a detector of the opening door. The unit is resistant to the atmospheric influences prevailing sea and is operational long-term at sea.

Current Issues of the Carrier's Liability for Breach of Contract of the Carriage of Goods by Sea
Lamková, Lenka
in English The transport sector represents about 7% of European GDP. It should be also noted that European companies own 41% of the total world fleet capacity. As it can be seen, transport itself is an important industry and a major contributor to the functioning of not only the European economy but also the international economy. The maritime transport covers 80% of all trade exchange and has become the major transport sector in international business. The Hague, Hague-Visby (together so called Hague-Visby rules) and Hamburg Rules have become the main reason for lack of uniformity in the field of the carriage of goods by sea with their different texts and legislative styles. These three sources of law are actually in force in different countries. As the maritime transport is mainly international, this heterogeneity causes problems in practice. This thesis analyses the maritime carrier's liability for loss of or damage to goods under convention based regimes. The Czech Republic has ratified the United Nations Convention on the Carriage of Goods by Sea signed on 30 March 1978 in Hamburg (called Hamburg rules). The French Republic has ratified the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law relating to Bills of Lading which was drafted in Brussels in 1924 (called Hague- Visby...

Northern Sea Route communication for 21st Century?
Kregl, Jan ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Doboš, Bohumil (referee)
The Northern Sea Route (NSR) is a naval communication between Europe and Asia running along the Arctic coastline of the Russian Federation. For decades, the same maritime corridors have been relied on. However, the international freight shipping volumes keep growing steadily and the Suez and Panama Canals might reach their maximal capacity soon. In order to prevent congestions of these crucial chokepoints, alternative communications have to be found. The NSR can save as much as 40% distance compared to the Suez Route and consequently, the time spent on the voyage decreases by about 10 days. There are several other benefits this Arctic seaway brings, however, some major obstacles impede its further development. In this work, I summarized the history of the Route and analyzed some of its key aspects. The current maritime transport situation and some alternative communications are outlined, too. The main advantages and disadvatages of the Northern Sea Route are presented in order to find out whether this unique naval corridor can serve as a communication for the 21st century and what its future prospects look like. Conclusively, the following research questions are answered: How do the US-Russian territorial disputes and the Russian domestic legislation affect the NSR? What would be the economical...

Liability in International Sea Transport
Vondráčková, Kristýna ; Brodec, Jan (advisor) ; Dobiáš, Petr (referee)
Liability in International Maritime Transport Main aim of this thesis is a brief introduction to the maritime law, the applicable liability systems, impact of carriage of goods by sea on trade in the Czech Republic and possible future development of international trade. The relationships in the maritime area may be quite complicated and the purpose of this thesis is to present them in a reader-friendly, comprehensible manner. The original reason that led me into choice of this topic is my personal interest in both international trade and ships. International transport may be considered as subsidiary to the sale or exchange of goods but is of essential relevance for the conclusion of trade. Approximately 90% of non-bulk cargo is shipped via ocean. The importance of the international maritime transport is therefore enormous and together with broadening globalization, the legislation in the area of maritime transport gradually increases its effect on the Czech Republic. Moreover, the freight and other costs of shipping considerably influence purchase price of goods. Liability is then crucial when deciding who is to bear the costs of loss, damage to the goods, late delivery of the goods, insurance, bank payment fees, packaging, etc. The text is divided into six chapters. The introductory chapter opens the...
