Ship Dynamics Laboratory

• Studies, model tests, simulations and analysis of sea-keeping, stability and hydrodynamic loads of all types of ships, offshore marine structures and devices subject to ocean waves and winds.
• Damage under normal or extreme sea and wind conditions.
• Optimization of the safety and the operating features of ships.
• Studies and experimentation in ocean engineering.
• Tests in regular and irregular waves.
• Maneuverability tests with captive models.

* The laboratory also uses sea-keeping prediction software for evaluations and alternative designs.
