Innovatory research for sea economy

Sea Institute in Gdansk for over 55 years has been carrying out innovatory research for sea economy. We are a research and development unit at present subjected to the Ministry of Sea Economy and, in terms of our competences, we strictly co-operate with the institutions and enterprises connected with sea economy. 

We carry out scientific and research as well as introductory works, we elaborate feasibility studies and expertises as well as we give professional advice  in terms of: sea hydro technique, geo-technique, operational oceanography, environment protection (chemical and biological research), transport, logistics, area development of seaside region, harbours modernization and exploitation, inland navigation, tourism, anti-flood safety, sea electronics, as well as creation of data base and monitoring of  continuous phenomena. We have experienced, highly qualified scientific and research as well as technical cadre, modern, well equipped laboratories (including the Accredited Environment Protection Research Laboratory -  the Certificate of Polish Accreditation Centre/ meeting the requirements of PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025 2001standard), as well as modern technologies,  equipment and experimental and measuring apparatus. Our know-how as well as intellectual and technical potential allows performing the most demanding and complex orders in terms of sea economy on the highest world level, what is confirmed by contracts realized for big national and foreign contractors. 

We possess a modern scientific and research ship r/v IMOR - of catamaran type, which functions as sailing specialist sea laboratory, intended for performance of complex research services in shallow water seaside zone basing on the most modern research technologies. The functioning of the ship as the sailing sea laboratory is possible thanks to the unit equipment in very precise, highly advanced technologically apparatus and research and measuring devices. By means of using the ship-laboratory IMOR we offer to Polish and foreign enterprises complex and specialist research and experimental services:

• Pre-investment research of the sea bottom for the needs of: wind power station farms construction, laying undersea cables and pipelines, sanitary collectors as well as artificial reefs;
• Research concerning stock-taking of sea mineral deposit, measurements of contamination levels as well as the capacity of output from deepening works;
• Service in terms of information necessary for designing, modernization and construction of hydro-technical sea objects: collectors, harbour seaside sailing landing;
• Research connected with the improvement of navigation safety as well as action against extraordinary threats on the sea (the prognosis of oil and chemical spilling spreading);
• Research in terms of ecological causes of economy influence on environment and sea biocoenosis;
• Service in terms of sea area development plan elaboration as well as creation of ZZOP strategies.

IMOR ship is a unique unit and it fills the gap among the other Polish research ships not adjusted to carry out research within the direct seashore nearness as well as on shallow waters. The complexity of services of the sailing sea laboratory allows for the Sea Institute in Gdansk to join in the realization of technologically advanced research and introductory projects, what results in the strengthening of the co-operation between the research and development zone as well as economy.

The Sea Institute in Gdansk leads the wide range scientific and technical co-operation with national and foreign institutions. We are a coordinator or a partner in multiple projects co-financed by the European Union in terms of such programs as: EU Frameworks, Interreg IIIA, IIIB, IIIC, Eureka, Leonardo da VINCI, Structural Founds, as well as EOG Financial Mechanisms.
