Aine eesmärk on:
- võimaldada üliõpilasel omandada põhiteadmised laevandusturgudest nii laevade kui ka kaubaturgude kontekstis;
- anda üliõpilasele vahendid rahvusvaheliste meretranspordi kaubavoogude kõikumiste ja veohindade analüüsimiseks;
- anda üliõpilasele teadmisi laevandusfirma strateegilistest valikutest ja eduteguritest arusaamiseks;
- luua üliõpilasele võimalused arusaamiseks sadamate seostest meremajandusega ning sadamastrateegiate põhitõdedest;
- anda üliõpilasele vajalikud teadmised merendusklastri ja selle edutegurite mõistmiseks;
