SIMULATE, TEST, EXPERIENCE

our fundamentals

To challenge the uncontrollable wind and waves we need facilities to recreate and simulate natural conditions to test ships and operations. Since we do not only recreate but also challenge these elements we need reliable tools and software enabling us to manage the dynamic sea. Using our facilities and tools we make ships and operations safer, cleaner and smarter.

CLEANER, SAFER AND SMARTER

Our track record in research and innovative concept development would not be possible without our facilities and tools. Since the start we have made thousands of ships and operations around the world safer, faster, more efficient and greener. Aiming to bridge the gap between design and operation we are involved in the entire lifecycle of the ship, from the initial concept development to design, construction and subsequently to the final operation. This allows us to continuously assess and improve our research.

We have a complete range of model test facilities, software tools, simulators, numerical facilities and measurement techniques to test, simulate and monitor ships and operations including the human factor. The unique combination and synergy of these facilities and tools 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.

We use computational clusters to assist with time consuming numerical studies. These clusters combined with our in-house software can be seen as a numerical facility for a broad range of simulations. In addition we are continuously developing and implementing new experimental measurement techniques to serve clients requiring detailed measurements of both the operation’s performance and its circumstances. Finally, we have advisory tools available for clients to manage the structural integrity of their floating structure.
