In the last few years, MARIN has trained SSSRI employees on hull lines optimisation, including the use of the RAPID program and the PARNASSOS viscous code. In addition, a Joint Venture team was trained to perform full- scale trial measurements, including the use of STAIMO software and MARIN’s MANVIS signal analysis software.
