Introduction
Transport of goods in an efficient and environmental friendly manner is essential for a better climate. As a Project manager and the Team leader for the Transport and Shipping Team at MARIN I can support designers and yards in minimising fuel consumption of their vessel. My experience in hull optimisation and model testing contributes to your project.
