The high-level technology and equipment of modern ships from one side and the constant growth of high stress and psychological pressure to ship officers, especially on management level, from other side pose a number of important questions relating to optimal combination of professional knowledge and skills and personal characteristics of seafarers. What may be the best combination of different subjects and courses in training programmes? What may be the role and place of master studies in evolving of high quali-fied specialists from one side and strong and self-confident personality from other side? What should be the most important difference of master study programmes for ship officers from those for land-based personal? The author of this presentation tries to discuss these questions relying to his long-time experience in field of maritime education and training and in organisation and carrying out of master studies in maritime academy.

The maritime terminal design process is a complex stepwise series of strategic decisions involving the engagement of a relevant amount of resources. In fact operating conditions near the maximum ca-pacity cause congestion effects with negative consequences on regularity and quality service. Therefore, in order to maximise its effectiveness, a strong need of methodological support is required. With this aim the authors developed different methods and models capable of supporting some of these decisions: a regressive method for preliminary dimensioning of harbour terminals and a sea-side operation combinatorial model for traffic analysis and capacity estimation. They are able to be integrated in a chain of models taking into account dimensions and manoeuvrability of ships, terminal morphology, handling equipment, storage areas, etc., with the aim to support the planning process and operational management.

This article describes a proposed productivity simulation model enabling container terminal operators to find optimization possibilities. A research of more than forty terminals has been done, in order to provide a helping tool for maritime container terminals. By applying an adequate simulation model, it is possible to measure and increase the productivity in all subsystem of the maritime container terminal. Management of a maritime container terminal includes a vast number of different financial and operational decisions. Financial decisions are often in a direct connection with investments in infrastructure and handling equipment. Such investments are very expensive. Therefore, they must give back the invested money as soon as possible. On the other hand, some terminals are limited by the physical extension and are forced to increase annual throughput only with sophisticated equipment on the berth side and on the yard as well. Considering all these important facts in container and shipping industry, the proposed simulation model gives a helping tool for checking the productivity and its time variation and monitoring competitiveness of a certain maritime terminal with terminals from the same group.

W artykule przedstawiono propozycję modelu symulacyjnego umożliwiającego operatorom terminali kontenerowych optymalizację swoich działań. Badania modelowe obejmowały ponad 40 terminali morskich w celu wyznaczenia odpowiednich narzędzi wspomagających zarządzanie nimi. Wykorzystanie odpowiedniego modelu symulacyjnego pozwala mierzyć i zwiększać produktywność we wszystkich podsystemach morskiego terminalu kontenerowego. Zarządzanie takim terminalem opiera się o szereg różnych wskaźników finansowych i decyzji. Decyzje finansowe są często ścisle powiązane z inwestycjami w infrastrukturę i sprzęt transportowy. Niektóre inwestycje są bardzo kosztowne, w związku z tym muszą się zwrócić możliwie najszybciej. Z drugiej strony istnieją ograniczone możliwości rozwoju obszarowego i terminale są zmuszone do zwiększenia rocznego wykorzystania kei i innych stanowisk. Rozważając wszystkie te istotne fakty dotyczące transportu morskiego i intermodalnego z wykorzystaniem kontenerów, proponowane eksperymenty symulacyjne pomagają w monitorowaniu produktywności, jej zmienności w czasie i konkurencyjności określonego terminala kontenerowego wśród terminali z tej samej grupy.
