The Research and Training Center for Ship Maneuvering in Iława, co-owned by Gdańsk University of Technology, has its patron - Capt. Zbigniew Sulatycki. The ceremony of unveiling the plaque commemorating giving the facility his name was attended by Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki and Marek Gróbarczyk, secretary of state and government plenipotentiary for water management and investments in maritime and water management.
The training center for captains and pilots of ships, located on Lake Silm in Kamionka near Iława, is among only three such institutions in Europe and five in the world. Here, captains from all over the world learn to guide their ships through locks, canals and enter ports. In recognition of many years of work for the development of the Polish maritime industry and the facility itself, it will now be named after Capt. Zbigniew Sulatycki, Master Mariner.
