Journal of Polish Cimeeac

Dear Readers!

The Editorial Board of the Journal of Polish CIMAC would like to inform you about changing  the publication's name to Journal of Polish CIMEEAC (stating for: CIVIL and MARINE ENGINEERING EXPLOITATION And CONSTRUCTION).
 The necessity of making this change followed from the demand of Mr. Peter Müller-Baum, CIMAC Secretary General from Frankfurt / Germany, expressed in his letter dated April 13, 2015 to the editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Polish CIMAC. In the letter, Mr.  Peter Müller-Baum informs that the name "CIMAC" is a registered brand and cannot be used in the title of our publication, nevertheless the CIMAC Central Secretariat may grant permission for using it on the condition that the relevant membership fee is settled.
 Unfortunately, the Editorial Board does not dispose of so large financial resources to pay yearly such a fee. The Journal is edited by the Faculty of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology, Gdansk University of Technology, the owner of the Journal, that either has no spare funds for such expenses. Additionally, the Editorial Board does work voluntarily, on non-profit basis. Its members are not obliged by profession to be bond with the Journal and they receive no compensation for their work. The only financial expenses the Journal bears are the costs of printing paper copies of the Journal, which are covered by the authors of included articles.

On behalf of the Editorial Board

Prof. Jerzy Girtler
Editor-in-Chief
