Together for the Profession” – top 5 maritime projects by students of Pomeranian vocational schools
By Marek Grzybowski
The “Together for the Profession” competition, organised by the Pomeranian Regional Chamber of Commerce (RIGP), is an initiative addressed to students of Pomeranian vocational schools, aimed at increasing their motivation to improve their skills and teamwork on educational projects in key industries.
Young designers and constructors from technical schools met on Friday and presented technical projects related to the maritime industry. The Pomeranian Regional Chamber of Commerce invited technical schools to engage students in the “Together to the Profession” competition. This competition is part of the Pomeranian “Regional Support for Vocational Education” program. In the competition, dominated by the maritime economy, selected teams were invited to the Technical School Complex in Sopot. Five groups of students were selected to present their ideas.
It turned out that the technical school students had not only prepared ideas; they developed and presented interesting and mature technical solutions. They employed design software and innovative design techniques. 3D printing equipment was used to create the projects. The results are encouraging, and in some cases, the proposals are advanced, unique, and innovative.
Container Terminal project. Centrum Kształcenia Zawodowego. Tczew. Kacper Olszak, Igor Filbrandt and Kacper Przybyszewski presented a model of the container terminal quay.
Ship route monitoring using IT AI system and AIS GPS technology for maritime transport safety and security. Powiatowe Centrum Edukacyjne im. E. Kwiatkowskiego. Elbląg. The “Safe Sea Route” project was presented by Martyna Kończyńska, Zuzanna Klein, Nikola Baranowska and Zosia Czoska-Terman with strong support provided by Robert Downar-Zapolski.
USV for waste water level identification. Technikum nr 3. Malbork. Kacper Bogusławski, Cezary Gołębiowski, and Cezary Dwulat designed and built an unmanned boat with equipment for measuring the aquatic environment. They explained that the idea arose because one of the students is a fisherman. Changes in water temperature, chemical contamination, or changing conditions immediately negatively impact fish.
“Floating Energy” wind and wave energy production construction. Zespół Szkół Mechanicznych i Logistycznych. Słupsk. Adam Golik, Brajan Czesławski and Adam Siembruch, under the supervision of Milena Ginko, MSc. Eng., presented the stand of an offshore wind turbine supported by a built-in power plant using sea currents.
“Offshore Mentor”. IT application for wind offshore instalation service planning and cost of service calculation. Zespół szkół Mechanicznych i Logistycznych. Słupsk. Szymon Sałapata, Jędrzej Strzelczyk, and Michał Chomicz set out to design a service planning system for offshore wind farms. Using the well-known GANTT schedule and IT software, they developed an efficient tool to support the planning of offshore wind farm maintenance and repairs.
