TNO - Knowledge for business

Maritime

The maritime cluster plays an essential role in the Dutch economy. One of the focus groups of TNO is the traditionally bustling maritime industry in the Netherlands. We support clients from the Ministry of Defence as well as civil maritime clients in all their innovation needs, ranging from fishery matters to hydraulic engineering.

Maritime industry plays an essential role in the Dutch economy.

It is our aim to apply our extensive military and civil maritime knowledge and expertise to innovations that benefit the competitive position of companies. We participate actively in the Maritime Knowledge Centre for the accumulation of fundamental knowledge in ship design, shipbuilding and shipping.

We also use our knowledge and expertise in numerous products and integrated solutions, such as:

  • improved sonar systems for selective fishing;
  • non-lethal anti-piracy measures;
  • environmental impact assessments of commercial operations at sea;
  • identification of extractable sand resources at sea;
  • safer methods for navigation in narrow waterways;
  • reduced emission and lowered fuel consumption in shipping traffic.
