Our research programme is focussed on the following issues::

1. Safety of navigation:

- marine traffic engineering:
- pilot navigation,
- ship manoeuvring safety,
- vessel traffic services (VTS) systems,
- modern information systems in maritime navigation,
- methods of comparative navigation,
- artificial intelligence methods in maritime navigation,
- decision support processes in ship movement control,
- optimization of ship routing - voyage planning,
- safety of port and offshore structures.

2. Ship safety:

- numerical modelling of seakeeping properties of selected ship types.
- formal safety assessment of ship stability,
- simulation models of ship evacuation process,
- impact of structural and operational parameters of the ship and weather conditions on ship safety during ballast operations at sea.

3. Improvement of navigation methods in inland waterway navigation.

- river information systems (RIS).

4. Spatial information systems.

5. Remote sensing

6. Digital image analysis.

7. Safety and security of ship and port facility.

8. Fisheries exploitation in selected regions of the Baltic Sea
