A new method of corrosion monitoring

A new method of corrosion monitoring
Metal elements of ocean engineering structures are exposed to corrosion damage caused by contact with salt water. Corrosion can cover the entire surface of the tested structure, but it can also take the form of point damage, i.e. pits. Beata Zima, PhD, Eng. from the Institute of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology is working on creating such a method of monitoring the progress of destruction that allows to assess global damage and to detect potential cracks and pitting.

The project "Monitoring the technical condition of metal structures subjected to corrosion degradation" received PLN 1,063,460 in funding in the SONATA competition organized by the National Science Center.

Over PLN 8.5 million funding for a new vehicle searching for sea mines TUKAN

Over PLN 8.5 million funding for a new vehicle searching for sea mines TUKAN
A new, underwater, semi-autonomous vehicle for searching and identifying sea mines and dangerous objects, codenamed TUKAN, will be built at Gdańsk University of Technology. The National Center for Research and Development awarded the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology a grant for this purpose in the amount of over PLN 8,663,335 million.

The amount will be allocated to the construction of a prototype of a vehicle enabling the unmanned performance of mine defense tasks MD, in particular the recognition and identification of mine-like objects (MILCO).

A new specialization in offshore studies at GdańskTech in cooperation with PGE

A new specialization in offshore studies at GdańskTech in cooperation with PGE
Design and construction of marine power systems is a new specialization in the field of ocean engineering at Gdańsk University of Technology. Its main partner is PGE, which is implementing the project to build the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm, the largest offshore wind farm in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea.  

– One of the pillars of cooperation between business and science is setting new directions in education. In order to build the domestic offshore wind energy market, it is necessary to educate future experts. That is why we have started cooperation with Polish scientists and lecturers who will manage a new specialization at master's studies at Gdańsk University of Technology – said Wojciech Dąbrowski, president of the management board of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna.

"Design-for-safety"- safe sea transport

Photo: Jakub Montewka, PhD, DSc, Eng. / Gdańsk Tech
"Design-for-safety - development of a rational method of designing a ship in order to increase the safety of navigation, with particular emphasis on stability and maneuverability" - is a new project on which scientists from the Institute of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology at Gdańsk University of Technology will work. For the implementation of the project managed by Jakub Montewka, PhD, DSc, Eng. scientists received PLN 498,800 as part of the Aurum program.  

Sea transport is particularly vulnerable due to the complex, often unpredictable environment in which it operates. Threats may arise from both deliberate and accidental actions (hydrometeorological, mechanical conditions, etc.). Providing navigational safety, including collision avoidance, is one of the main and most important issues related to the issue of fleet development.
