TNO: partner in Maritime & Offshore
How TNO accelerates innovation in the maritime and offshore sector
The transition towards net zero emission maritime and offshore operation requires disruptive innovations and alternative designs that go beyond existing rules and state of the art.
Towards this end, TNO supports the industry to develop safe, efficient, and sustainable solutions. This includes innovations in the construction and maintenance of offshore wind turbines, development of floating solar platforms and solutions for safe and efficient use of alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and methanol.
Our unique contribution is providing an integrated approach combining numerical models with validation in the lab and in the field. Our expertise includes structural behaviour, lifetime of systems and assets, powertrain development and emissions monitoring.

Maritime structures: efficiency and safety at sea
How do you build a foundation at sea, such as for a wind turbine or floating solar panels? Especially now that offshore wind turbines are getting bigger and bigger, this requires up-to-date knowledge of noise when piling, protection against corrosion and application of lighter materials. With test rigs and simulations, we help the industry push boundaries.
