Background

Flint Systems completed delivery of a multi-component simulator suite to the Maritime University of Szczecin (Politechnika Morska w Szczecinie) in Poland, supporting practical skills development across the maritime, offshore, and logistics sectors. Deliveries began in the second half of 2025 and the full project was completed in Q1 2026.

Perun platform simulators

Two of the four systems are built on Flint Systems' Perun simulation platform: a deck crane simulator and an RTG (rubber-tyred gantry) crane simulator. The platform replicates real working conditions and operational scenarios in a virtual environment, including the effects of weather and vessel dynamics on cargo operations and the precise positioning demands of container terminal work.

VR headset training

Two further modules were delivered using VR headsets: a working-at-height programme and an offshore wind turbine servicing course. The offshore wind module covers the full scope of a typical service visit, including safe ladder access and climbing technique, a virtual turbine tour, davit crane servicing on the transition piece, service lift and nacelle equipment inspection, health and safety and evacuation procedures, and torque control and bolt tightening inside the tower.

Outcomes

The suite gives students and academic staff a controlled, risk-free environment in which to develop practical competencies before working in live maritime and offshore settings. The project extends Flint Systems' partnership with technical and maritime higher education institutions in Poland.
