Markets

Passengers & Yachting

Sailing safely and comfortably across oceans, rivers and lakes is essential for passenger vessels and yachts. MARIN supports designers, operators and shipyards in optimising performance, safety and sustainability for this diverse market.

Delivering comfort, safety and sustainability

Making Impact Across All Maritime Markets

To achieve our vision we work with the maritime industry and governments across five key markets: Transport & Shipping, Passengers & Yachting, Defence, Offshore Energy & Blue Growth and Marine Infrastructure & Spatial Planning. In each market, we drive the maritime energy transition, prevent accidents, and accelerate digitalisation—making a direct and meaningful impact.

Passengers & Yachting | Tailored Innovation Across Submarkets

From high-end yachts to fast ferries, we combine precision engineering and innovative design to meet the technical demands of modern maritime operations.

Cruise & Ferry : Ageing fleets and rising sustainability demands require innovative designs that balance comfort, safety and efficiency. MARIN helps optimise hulls, propulsion and energy systems for modern cruise and ferry operations.
Yachting: High-end yachts demand exceptional comfort and performance. MARIN supports advanced hull design, motion stabilisation and comfort rating to meet the expectations of owners and shipyards.
Fast Ferries & Water Taxis : Urban mobility calls for fast, manoeuvrable and sustainable vessels. MARIN provides solutions for hydrodynamic optimisation, safety and energy efficiency in high-speed operations.
