Sustainable Ocean Technology and Maritime Safety
The ocean industries are among our most global industries and are a major driving force for the Norwegian economy. However, the ocean is also under pressure. Research is crucial for Norway to be able to further develop the maritime industry in a sustainable direction.
Within this profile area, we work with, among other things, with new technology for offshore operations, marine construction engineering, and hydrodynamics for ships, floating constructions, underwater vehicles, and anchoring systems.
We also conduct extensive research on risk and safety in maritime operations, investigating human, organizational, and operational aspects of how risk and safety are managed.
