MARIN is a recognised maritime research institute. Our mission is 'Better Ships, Blue Oceans': clean, smart, and safe shipping and sustainable use of the sea. As an independent knowledge partner for the maritime sector, government, and society, we offer concept development and design to operation, making optimal use of our test facilities, computer simulations, simulators, and full-scale measurements.

Since 2011 MARIN promotes research in re-implementation of wind propulsion in commercial shipping with various EU projects, Joint Industry Projects, IMO contributions and service to clients.

In order to judge whether wind propulsion is relevant for your ship design and operation MARIN can perform an independent feasibility study and, at a later stage, design optimisation and verification
