MARITIME RESEARCH INSTITUTE NETHERLANDS
BETTER SHIPS, BLUE OCEANS
MARIN is a globally recognised top institute for hydrodynamic and nautical research. Our mission is 'Better Ships, Blue Oceans': we stand for clean, smart and safe shipping and sustainable use of the sea. We do this as an independent knowledge partner for the maritime sector, government and society.

RESEARCH
We help our clients to make ships cleaner, safer and smarter, while contributing to the sustainable use of the world’s oceans.
CFD DEVELOPMENT
CFD is an important tool for obtaining a better understanding of the flow around ships and offshore structures. This programme focuses on the background development of viscous-flow CFD tools and techniques.
TIME-DOMAIN SIMULATIONS
Time-domain simulations study the motions of a structure or ship based on the force and momentum balance over a long period of time. We use these simulations for applications in engineering, experiments, simulations and on-board.
MEASUREMENT & CONTROL
Measurement and analysis are essential for acquiring knowledge from numerical and experimental studies. This programme provides the tools and techniques needed to gain insight into full-scale and model-scale physics.
OPERATIONS & HUMAN FACTORS
This program matches complex maritime operations with the capabilities of human operators eventually supported by advisory systems. It brings the end user into the design of operations and further improves the operation through studying (supported) operator performance and training development.
WAVES, IMPACTS AND HYDROSTRUCTURAL
Waves have a big impact on marine structures. In order to ensure safe design and operation, we are developing the specialist tools and competences needed to assess fatigue and ultimate loads.
MANOEUVRING & NAUTICAL STUDIES
Through this research programme we aim to help the maritime industry assess and improve the safety and efficiency of nautical operations, traffic flows and individual ships.
STABILITY, SEAKEEPING & OCEAN ENGINEERING
The aim of this research programme is to help the maritime industry to determine the operational limits and safety of floating structures such as ships and platforms and to support the development of innovative concepts for blue growth.
AUTONOMY & DECISION SUPPORT
The next evolutionary step in shipping will be the development of autonomous sailing vessels. MARIN is playing an important role in the research and testing needed to make autonomous shipping a reality.
RESISTANCE & PROPULSION
We aim to improve the prediction and evaluation of the resistance, propulsion and cavitation hindrance of ships in order to get better ships and blue oceans.
