MAGAZYN GDAŃSKI
SHIP DESIGN AND RESEARCH CENTRE S.A. (CTO) is multidisciplinary research
and design centre, well recognized in many countries.
CTO performs:
• experimental model testing of ships , yachts, offshore structures and other floating
or hydro-engineering objects in towing tanks and aerodynamic tunnel.
• a wide range of numerical simulations , among which the most important to ship design are local
and global stress-strength analysis with fatigue calculations, as well as vibration predictions of hull
structure and propulsion system.
• cavitation model tests of propellers and rudders .
• measuring services in environmental condition (e.g. sea trials ), such as noise emitted into
the water by ships, noise level of equipment, local and global vibration , accommodation
illumination , shaft power, bollard pull .
• fire resistance and smoke-proof tests of doors, windows, shutters, smoke curtains, hatches,
firewalls and many other construction.
• vibration and multiple / single shock tests of electrical and electronic equipment, as well as
monitoring systems, portholes, hatches and doors.
• marine equipment certitication .
• designing, manufacturing and implementing research equipment such as: wake survey device,
dynamometers and research facilities such as: stand for waves tests , cavitation tunnel,
aerodynamic tunnel , water or towing tanks.
• corrosion resistance tests of materials and structures.
