Maritime technology

The Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN), demonstrating its commitment to meet the requirements of its clients for advanced maritime technology. The MoU marks a milestone for both organisations as they collaborate to perform hydrodynamic studies and model testing on ongoing new construction projects. In addition the MoU provides for expanding this collaboration to all future projects classed by IRS for Indian shipyards. MARIN will contribute to the partnership by sharing scientific knowledge and providing hydrodynamic research services to IRS and its clients on a project-by-project basis.
