This paper presents the organization and results of a test that attempted to evaluate the success of training students of Marine Engineering on the simulator during the regular course in the third year of the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split. Sixteen students were assessed at the beginning of the course, then after completing the first part of the training, and finally at the end. The progress of the students was measured using a questionnaire and by performing actual tasks on the simulator. Measuring the success of the simulator training showed a very high success rate that 93.75% of the students met all requirements and passed all tests.

One of the main methods for estimating air pollutant emissions from ships is the method developed by Carlo Trozzi, which was later accepted and recommended by the European Environment Agency in its air pollutant emission inventory guidebooks. Consequently, it has become the most commonly used methods for making inventories of air emissions in the shipping industry and for predicting future trends. The method and its equations use emission factors to calculate the emission of air pollutants from ships. Emission factors are calculated depending on fuel consumption or main engine power; results are given for different year of manufacture and engine speed. This paper presents the measurement of air pollutant emissions and some other parameters on marine engines operating in different conditions. The measured values are calculated to obtain values which will enable the next step, the comparison with the emission factors in the latest guide of the European Environment Agency on the inventory of pollutant emissions.
