Basins
To challenge the uncontrollable wind and waves we need test facilities that can recreate and simulate natural conditions to test ships and operations. Testing models under realistic conditions remains invaluable as an accurate and objective way to quantify and demonstrate the behaviour and performance of a ship or structure
Solve specific design and research issues
The unique combination and synergy of our tools for simulation, model testing and onboard measurements enable us to achieve reliable predictions of the performance in the design phases, but also to improve and ensure the optimal operational use of the ship or structure. Complementing each other, each facility is used to solve specific design and research issues.

Our test basins
Zero Emission Lab
This engine room of the future integrates power and the hydro propulsion system and enables the representative coupling of the propulsion hydrodynamics with the power supply. The Zero Emission Lab (ZEL) is a unique test facility worldwide for the research and testing of future marine propulsion and power systems, applying realistic, dynamic operating profiles.

SEAKEEPING AND MANOEUVRING BASIN
Verifying performance and safety requires accurate representation of a ship and its ride control elements in relevant wave conditions. This basin (170 x 40 x 5 m) is designed to make arbitrary (high-speed) manoeuvres in realistic waves from arbitrary directions. The free-sailing or captive tests provide insight into the seakeeping and manoeuvring characteristics.
