MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands) becomes supporter of Green Marine and Green Marine Europe

MARIN, the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands, is an internationally renowned, independent institution operating globally with more than 400 specialists in ship modeling. Based in Wageningen, its nautical and hydrodynamic research is also focused on making vessels, platforms, harbours and turbines – any construction in or on water – cleaner, safer and smarter.

Realizing annual turnover of approximately 45 million €, MARIN combines its independent research methods to provide solutions for the concept development, design and operation of waterborne projects, while also partnering with others to stimulate innovations within the maritime industry and academic field.

MARIN is now looking at nature-inspired solutions to continue its mission of focusing on an ever safer and cleaner shipping industry, as well as the ocean’s sustainable use in terms of providing food, raw materials, and energy resources.

Its own testing is transitioning to using fewer – but more complex – models with the help of increased digitalization and simulations.
