In the period from September 29 to October 1, 2025, a three-day training titled “External Expert Training of Trainers on Handling, Operating, and Maintaining Marine Robots” was successfully held at the Faculty of Maritime Studies Kotor as part of the project Fostering Innovation Capacities and Skills for the Application of Marine Robotics for Monitoring and Protection of the Marine Environment – MARROBO,” funded through the Interreg IPA Croatia–Bosnia and Herzegovina–Montenegro Programme.

The training was designed for representatives of the academic and business communities, aiming to enhance both theoretical and practical competencies in managing, operating, and maintaining underwater robots. During the three-day program, participants attended the theoretical part of the training held at the Maritime Faculty of Kotor. In contrast, the practical part took place in the waters of the Bay of Kotor.

The training utilised the QYSEA FIFISH W6 NAVI underwater robot, procured through the MARROBO project, as well as the Blue Eye underwater robot, owned by the Centre for Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.

The training program covered topics such as:
• Sustainable development and the blue economy,
• Basic equipment and configuration of ROV systems,
• Underwater navigation and operations,
• Planning procedures and diver-supported operations,
• Area scanning and underwater imaging procedures,
• Regular ROV maintenance, data collection, and processing.

The training was conducted by external expert Mr Lovro Maglić, in collaboration with the team from the Maritime Faculty of Kotor. Participants included representatives of project partners from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro — including the University of Zagreb (Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences), the Municipality of Neum, the University of Dubrovnik (Faculty of Maritime Studies), students, and representatives of the maritime industry.

The implementation of this training represents an important step in strengthening regional capacities and knowledge in the field of marine robotics application for marine environment protection, as well as a contribution to the development of innovation and digital technologies within the blue economy.
