In the 
Sea Trial Analysis (STA) JIP an industry standard was developed for speed-power trials upon delivery of new ships by the yard.
The JIP which was completed in 2006 resulted in:
- Recommended Practice for Speed Trials
 - Recommended Analysis for Speed Trials
 - QSTAP- speed trial analysis and reporting software.
 
The participants in the STA JIP decided to continue as STA Group for the exchange of speed trial experiences and to guide further developments.
