AIS Antenna on the Roof of the Institute of Naval Architecture – A Student Project in the Gulf of Gdańsk
Students from the Strength and Risk Student Club (WiR) have installed an AIS (Automatic Identification System) antenna on the roof of the Institute of Naval Architecture, with support from specialists at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology. The antenna will serve the purpose of automatically identifying vessels and has a range covering the entire Gulf of Gdańsk (25 nautical miles).
"The AIS (Automatic Identification System) is used for the automatic identification of vessels and is mandatory on all ships that transmit signals via short-range (VHF) radio waves," emphasised Mateusz Gutkowski, President of the WiR student club.
The AIS receiver provides key data, including:
-
MMSI number (a unique vessel identifier),
-
vessel name,
-
position (latitude and longitude),
-
course over ground (COG),

Career after WIMiO: Wojciech Ciupa
Wojciech Ciupa, is the Head of the Project Office at FERCHAU – a company providing technical services in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and IT. He graduated in Ocean Engineering from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology and shared his story with us as part of the "Career after WIMiO" series.
Until now, Wojciech has worked as a technologist at Gdańsk Shipyard and as a Project Manager at Galeon Yachts. Before becoming Head of the Project Office at FERCHAU, he worked there as a marine systems designer.
What opportunities do you think studying at WIMiO opens up?
Gaining solid knowledge in mechanics and shipbuilding is the foundation for a professional career in these fields.
The project led by Associate Professor Beata Zima, has received funding under the 15th edition of the LIDER program
We’re proud to share that a research project by Associate Professor Beata Zima, from our Faculty has been awarded funding in the 15th edition of the LIDER program, organized by the National Centre for Research and Development.
The project is titled "Development of a Methodology and a Prototype Monitoring System for the Assessment of the Condition of Shell Structures." Its main objective is to create an innovative methodology and develop a prototype system for evaluating the technical condition of shell-type structures—an essential aspect for ensuring the safety and durability of engineering structures across various industries.
