In the year of “The Fount of the Mind of Magtymguly Fragi”, the economic development of our country under the leadership of our Hero Arkadagly Serdar is gaining great reputation today among the countries of the world.

As a result of the tireless efforts of our national Leader of the Turkmen nation, Hero Arkadagly Serdar, large-scale work is being implemented to modernize the transport infrastructure of the Turkmen part of the Caspian Sea, expand the country’s maritime fleet, increase cargo flows at the Turkmenbashi International Seaport, as well as Turkmenistan’s accession to the International Maritime Organization Convention for the Facilitation of International sea ​​shipping.

Shipping and seafaring are ancient professions of our ancestors who lived on the sea coast. Continuing the ancient profession, all opportunities have been created for students studying in this area to improve the acquired theoretical knowledge in practice.

These days, students of the Faculty of Water Transport of the Institute of Engineering, Technical and Transport Communications of Turkmenistan and the Maritime Secondary Professional School of the city of Turkmenbashi are undergoing internship on the passenger ship "Charlak" of the joint-stock company "Marine Merchant Fleet". The captains of the joint-stock company "Marine Merchant Fleet" teach them subtle knowledge and skills in the field of navigation and the rules of serving passengers. Because young sailors are future specialists. In a few years, they will be working hard in the sea and river systems of our country and putting into practice the theoretical knowledge they have acquired.
