The oceans offer unique potential and challenges for engineers. Consider that around 80% of goods are transported by sea, around 40% of the world’s population lives within 100 km of a coastline, and that the global offshore wind energy sector has expanded 30% in the past 8 years alone. How do we design ships (cargo, transport, passenger, offshore support, etc.) to efficiently carry out their work while operating in some of the harshest environments on earth? How do we adapt these ships to new, alternative sources of green fuel? How do we monitor these vessels over their lifetime to ensure they are still safe and reliable? And further consider these technical aspects also need to be applied to other novel structures, like flexible floating structures (think, solar panels!) and the complex vessels needed to install ever-growing offshore wind turbines. Marine Technology uniquely studies (technical) aspects of vessels and complex structures, giving future engineers the scientific knowledge and skills to handle challenges in design, construction, and operation of these systems.
