Ever wondered how we design and test boats, ships, offshore structures, and ocean renewable energy? How do sailing boats work? How do robots explore the oceans? How is maritime reducing its emissions? How can we capture ocean renewable energy?

If the answer is yes - then find out more from the Maritime Engineering group at the University of Southampton. We have demonstrations in our 138m long towing tank as well as hands-on activities and interactive simulations explaining the engineering behind the design of boats, ships, offshore structures and ocean renewable energy!
