Unitest Marine Simulators

Unitest was founded in 1990 as a private-owned enterprise and 26 years later the company converted to Unitest Marine Simulators Ltd. The company staff includes many experts from Gdynia Maritime University (Poland), young dynamic programmers and the computer graphic designers. Dr Leonard Tomczak who is the President of Board was also the founder and managing director of the original UNITEST enterpr

ise. In the beginning the company’s activities were concentrated on the design and production of diagnostic and measurements instruments for the ship engine rooms. Gradually, the scope of company activities was broadened and in 1994, UNITEST has started to develop the Computer Based Training (CBT) interactive programs for marine engineering students and maritime engineers. Since 1995, UNITEST has begun to produce the engine room simulators and the first low speed diesel engine room simulator was produced two years later, followed by medium speed diesel and steam turbine engine room simulators. UNITEST has become a supplier of the customized dual-fuel engine simulators for BC Ferries ships built in Remontowa Shipyard, Gdansk (Poland). UNITEST is world leader in creation of maritime training software and the fully interactive engine room simulators with the realistic 3D visualization of the machinery space. Additionally, UNITEST simulators use state of the art proprietary integrated checklists and the fully automated assessment of the trainee competencies. UNITEST also creates interactive programs adapted to the needs of different marine equipment manufacturers. These programs, by using 3D technology, usually extend the operator’s manuals and allow the better understanding of the equipment construction and functioning. UNITEST constantly cooperates with ALFA LAVAL (Sweden), Kistler (Switzerland) and another maritime manufacturers. Recently, UNITEST has become the exclusive supplier of the customized simulators for all new electronically controlled low speed diesel engines produced by Winterthur Gas and Diesel (Switzerland) – formerly the part of the Wärtsilä corporation. In order to expand the offer, UNITEST has started to develop the 3D mobile applications which have to support the engine room maintenance works.
