Frequently asked questions about marine technology
What is marine technology?
Marine technology covers the engineering, software and equipment used to design, build and operate ships. It ranges from design software at the shipyard to loading computers and measuring instruments on board.
What is the difference between marine technology and naval architecture?
Naval architecture focuses on the design and calculations of a vessel. Marine technology is broader and also includes the systems and tools used during operation, such as onboard loading software and measuring instruments. Read more about our software for naval architecture.
Is your marine technology suitable for inland vessels?
Yes. LOCOPIAS is available for seagoing vessels as well as inland waterway vessels.
Can I rent measuring instruments?
Yes. Our hardware for draft surveys and inclining experiments is available for purchase as well as rental.
Do you offer support and training?
Yes. We offer support for all our software and training so your team can get the most out of it.
