General information
The Ship business unit pursues, as main objective is to provide assistance to owners, shipyards and governments in order to improve the quality of their vessels regarding all hull resistance, propulsion, seakeeping and manoeuvring aspects. Our services are based on experience with nearly 8,000 ships.
The business unit plays a leading role in this field worldwide and is involved in a vast amount of significant ships each year. The hands-on experience includes a wide range of ship types and propulsion units, conventional and innovative.

Service & Activities
In order to be able to guarantee this service in the long term, developments in the shipping world are closely followed. We work closely together with other business units and especially with our R&D department to maintain a high level of knowledge. An important asset is know how about the correlations between model predictions and full-scale results, which is cross-referenced often.
Research on the flow around the hull has provided a number of widely known tools for flow prediction. The use of these tools might lead to an appreciable gain in quality of the design achievable within the time frame available, e.g. giving an early indication of undesirable wave making, flow separation or vortex formation.
From our long history of testing ships in calm water as well as in (irregular) seas, MARIN has also gained considerable experience in the fields of ship manoeuving and seakeeping.
Our project managers are involved in industrial projects and basic research and keep abreast of the latest developments. The ship department of MARIN has a broad view on all different types of ships, including naval vessels, medium and high-speed ferries, cruise vessels, motor/sailing yachts, LNG carriers, dredgers, container vessels, chemical carriers, tankers and bulk carriers. Ships not only powered by conventional propulsion, but also by podded propulsion, azimuthing thrusters, pumpjets, waterjet propulsion and other innovative propulsor types.
Bilge keels, fins, anti roll tanks, skegs and all other thinkable appendages have gone through our basins giving us a good understanding of the physics that drive the developents in your business.

Organisation
Within the ships business unit six market teams and four knowledge groups are integrated in a matrix structure. Within the market teams specialists of each knowledge group focus on the needs for a specific marked. This gives the a good working knowledge on the important topics for your type of vessel, resulting in one answer to your question.
