The oceans are a key resource for addressing numerous challenges: transportation, energy, and food production for the growing global population. 

The Department of Marine Technology (IMT) is a world leader in education, research, and innovation for engineering systems in the marine environment.

We specialize in methods and techniques which facilitate the assessment, development, and sustainable operation of Norway's biggest export industries.

Among them are ship technology with corresponding equipment industry, fisheries and aquaculture technology, as well as oil and gas extraction at sea. 

It also includes newer developments in offshore renewable energy (wind, wave, and solar), coastal infrastructure such as floating bridges, and marine robotics for mapping and monitoring the ocean environment, including the Arctic regions.

At the moment we are building the Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre with new laboratories and infrastructure to support the students and the world leading competence that are working here.

The spring of 2025 we moved into the first new building: Professor Mørch's House.
