It worked like vocational training or like short courses when needed. Between two wars, in 1918, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia got a fleet of ships that belonged to Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and so became second largest fleet of ships on the Danube. So strong, it trained its personnel having learned from Austro-Hungarian, Hungarian and Bavarian shipping industry.
