Welcome to the MTEC site |
Marine Traffic Engineering Centre located at the Maritime University of Szczecin, Poland, offers navigation training in accordance with IMO STCW Convention and a full range of scientific-research works in marine traffic engineering in open and restricted water areas. The Centre comprises laboratories co-financed from the EU regional development funds in projects "Construction of Marine Traffic Engineering Centre in Maritime University of Szczecin (MTEC)" and "Centre of Navigational Technologies for Innovative Marine Economy (CTN)".
Laboratories build and equipped within the project of CTN are presented at: www.ctn.am.szczecin.pl The shiphadling simulator of MTEC consists of:
All hardware and software of MTEC shiphandling simulator is forming the Polaris System from Kongsberg Maritime AS which was granted DNV certificate for compliance or exceeding the regulations set forward in STCW’95 (section A-I/12, section B-I/12, table A-II/1, table A-II/2 and table A-II/3). DNV Approval Certificate for Polaris System.pdf In order to create own ship models a hydrodynamic ship-modelling tool is available. This tool enables creating almost any ship type (controls for at least two engines with propellers’ controls for fixed propeller, adjustable pitch propeller CPP and azimuth; rudder controls adequate for various types of conventional rudders and Z-drive / azimuth – DP ready) with very high fidelity hydrodynamics in 6 DOF (surge, sway, yaw, roll, pitch & heave).
Visualisations of own ships, target ships and research areas are made in Multi-Gen 3D type environment.
MTE Centre presently has ready to use 10 databases of sea - harbour areas including 8 European ones: Gibraltar Strait, English Channel, Europort, Hamburg, Danish Straits (Great Belt, Little Belt), Ystad, Świnoujście and 11 ship models including LNG carriers. MTE Centre is ready to perform the following IMO Courses: - radar navigation - management level (Model course 1.08) And the following NI Courses: - DP Induction / Basic, - DP Simulator / Advanced.
In scientific domain MTE Centre is ready to perform navigation safety analysis of any water region based on tenths of registered parameters of own and target ships’ in reference to the research area (among others: positions, SOG, COG, SOW, COW, heading, rate of turn, ship’s controls adjustments - propulsion devices, rudders, thrusters, tugs, anchors, mooring ropes, external excitations).
