SCDPS was established in October 2011 by Mr Pawel Zalewski. Initially 30 students and 3 supportive members were engaged in Circle’s activity. Meetings are taking place every three months – as per statute.

On March meeting (08.03.2012) Circle’s board was elected. Bartosz Muczynski, master’s degree student of maritime transport specialization, was appointed a new chairman. Mr Arkadiusz Tomczak and Mr Rafal Gralak, remained supportive members. Recently Circle is experiencing much lower activity due to graduation and on-board sea training of most of the previous members.

Goals:

• Stimulating scientific interests of Circle’s members, especially:
  • Practical uses of positioning methods
  • Computer simulation and modeling (ships, sensors, positioning systems)
  • Quantification of safety and risk with analysis of on board procedures
  • Data integration and data fusion
• Participation of Circle’s members in Marine Traffic Engineering Centre’s researches, mainly in area of dynamic positioning and data fusion
• Organization of periodic meetings promoting Circle’s activity among students
• Development of Circle’s web page
• Trainings and field researches in aspects of DP measurements methods and marine mining
• Participation in scientific conferences as well as organization of workshops and seminars presenting researches at the Maritime University of Szczecin
• Methods and techniques of measurements
• Mobile application development
