Risk
The Marine Technology Risk, Safety and Asset Management Group
Welcome to the webpage of the risk research group at the Marine Technology Department at NTNU. We develop methods for risk assessment, risk analysis, and hazard assessment for application in a variety of marine and maritime activities. Applications and industries that are covered by our research are, among others, autonomous systems, aquaculture, fisheries, oil and gas offshore platforms, and advanced ships.
The researchers in our group have a variety of backgrounds and research interests. We believe that through collaboration and interdisciplinary work, we can address risk and safety challenges that arise through new technologies, application areas and business opportunities in the marine environment. Read more about our ongoing research projects below.
