Maritime Technology
Research Area
Maritime Technology
Our research revolves around the development and application of theory, methods, and technology for autonomous ships. We collaborate with the Norwegian Coastal Administration and many local and regional companies in the world-leading Blue Maritime Cluster – a Norwegian Global Centre of Excellence (GCE).
The geographical heart ot the maritime cluster is the Norwegian Maritime Competence Centre (NMK), located just across the road from campus.
Laboratory
The following physical lab facilities on Campus Ålesund are connected to this research area:
- Automation Lab
- Robotics Lab
- Electrical Engineering Lab ("tunglab")
- Mechatronics Lab
- Towing Tank Lab
- MIT FabLab/Innovation Lab
Strategic research area
Our research on maritime technology is linked to the strategic research areas of NTNU Sustainability, NTNU Energy, NTNU Oceans, and NTNU Digital.
We cooperate closely with NTNU AMOS and are involved in the Autoferry cross-disciplinary research project.
