The Small Craft Competence Centre (SCC) Naval Architecture and Hydrodynamics research infrastructure in Kuressaare, Saaremaa is now included on the Estonian Research Infrastructures Roadmap, the list of nationally important research infrastructures. For the first time, an infrastructure outside of Tallinn or Tartu, or an infrastructure developed jointly with the industry, made it to the roadmap. […]
The SCC is running a project that explores the ability of small autonomous workboats to independently carry out various manoeuvres. Today, the concept ASV called NYMO was launched on water for the very first time. The project is led by the Small Craft Competence Centre of the Tallinn University of Technology. As a result of […]

The SCC is running a project that explores the ability of small, 5-metre autonomous workboats to independently carry out various manoeuvres. The project entails the development of an ASV platform and producing an autonomous model to conduct manoeuvring tests. The autonomous model will be capable of emulating different types of workboats. The model will be […]
Tallinn University of Technology scientists won a grant from the Estonian Research Council for work in experimental hydrodynamics between 2018 and 2022. The project, led by Senior Research Scientist Kristjan Tabri, has a budget of over 700 000 euro. The project focuses on optimizing ship design through computational fluid dynamics, more specifically, on developing a […]
