Designing and testing a multi-use floating breakwater Within the Blue Growth research programme, MARIN applies its hydrodynamic expertise to develop innovative and sustainable maritime concepts. Recently, we developed a multi-purpose floating breakwater that reduces the energy of incident waves in order to decrease wave loads on offshore floating structures and vessels. The application of this
WE VALUE YOUR OPINION ABOUT MARIN REPORT MAGAZINE MARIN Report magazine has been keeping our customers and partners informed since 1979 and we have published more than 130 editions.

Could a transatlantic hyperloop trip become an alternative to flying? As the world population continues to grow, and specifically in coastal areas, there is a related increase in the demand for mobility. Intercontinental flights are currently one of the main ways to connect, but we need a more sustainable mobility solution for the future. How
Floating Islands one step closer to realisation as Space@Sea project completes The Horizon 2020 funded Space@Sea project kicked off in November 2017, with the aim of taking a further step towards the efficient use of the maritime environment. The consortium of 17 European partners developed sustainable and affordable workspaces at sea, consisting of standardised and

MARIN builds ultra-modern Seven Oceans Simulator Centre Running simulators since 1972, MARIN is currently building a state-of-the-art ‘Seven Oceans Simulator centre’ (SOSc) in order to support the development of safer, cleaner and smarter ships and maritime infrastructure. This pioneering new centre will offer the most realistic simulation of behaviour and the interaction between maritime constructions,
WATERBORNE: TOWARDS FUTURE-PROOF INLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORT IN EUROPE The Waterborne Technology Platform welcomes the resolution of the European Parliament on the future of inland waterway transport in Europe. Inland waterway transport plays an important role in the transport of goods in Europe. More than 37,000 kilometres of waterways connect hundreds of cities and industrial
Hydrofoil technology has been known for decades and mostly focused on the performance of hydrofoils in steady state conditions. However, there is still work to be done in terms of dynamic response of hydrofoils in unsteady conditions, particularly in the eventual presence of cavitation and/or ventilation. This JIP aims at achieving advanced knowledge to assist
