On Friday, September 13, the Faculty of Maritime Studies hosted an Open Day, during which visitors explored exhibits dedicated to maritime themes: “Titanic – Carpathia: 100 Years Later,” “Giants of the Sea,” “Jadrolinija,” “Naval Academy in Rijeka 1866 – 1914,”and “Sailor’s Knots.” High school and university students were introduced to the work with modern navigation and engine simulators, as well as the VR laboratory.
They were visited by students from the Rijeka Technical School, who had the opportunity to “sail” into the port of Rijeka using the navigation simulator. Through this highly realistic simulation of conditions, they experienced what it’s like to serve as a ship’s captain and participate in navigation.
Organizers included Prof. Dr. Robert Mohović, Chair of the Fiumare 2024 Organizing Committee; Dean Prof. Dr. Ana Perić Hadžić; Prof. Dr. Đani Mohović; Dr. Darko Glujić (member of Inno2mare project); and assistants Marko Strabić, M.Eng. Naut., David Bačnar, M.Eng. Elec., and Matej Šuper, M.Eng. Naut.
