On February 11, 2022, the members of the research project team participated at the Brodarski Institute in the self-propulsion tests of the bulk carrier model for two loading conditions and a wide range of speeds. Members of the research project team from Rijeka also participated in the experiment.
On February 10, 2022, members of the research project participated in the resistance test and self-propulsion test for a model of a bulk carrier at different drafts for a wide range of sailing speeds at Brodarski institute.
On February 4, 2022, as part of a project funded by the Croatian Science Foundation (CSF) entitled “Sustainable slow steaming for low carbon shipping”, led by prof. dr. sc. Nastia Degiuli, students visited the Brodarski Institute and attended a self propulsion test of a bulk cargo ship model with design draft. Head of the Maritime Technology Sector mr. sc. Marta Pedišić Buča, B.Sc. marine engineer and also a collaborator on the Croatian Science Foundation project gave a lecture to the students on the history and importance of the Brodarski Institute. The purpose of the visit was to attend the process of preparation and implementation of experimental tests in marine hydrodynamics.
During January and February 2022, members of the research project team participated in the construction of the model of a bulk carrier at the Brodarski institute. For the mentioned model, the resistance, nominal wake and self-propulsion tests will be carried out.
