The Norwegian government have decided to continue the work on realising the Ocean Space Centre in Trondheim. The goal is to ensure that Norwegian ocean industry remains competitive, also in the future. The quality control process made it clear that the project is economically viable, and the project is now entering a new phase.

Director of AMOS, Asgeir J. Sørensen, writes that new methods for gathering data about the world's oceans is revolutionizing when it comes to how we think about the Ocean Space.

Flying Foil was launched as an independent company today. A spin off from the Department of Marin Technology at NTNU, the inventors and founders, John Martin Kleven Godø and Jarle Vinje Kramer, wishes to reduce both operating costs and emissions from high-speed marine vessels by using hydrofoils.

Recently, several scientists at the department of Marine Technology participated in an expedition to map the Arctic Ocean fronts.

On Tuesday, the department organised its first after hours lecture on research and developments within the field of Marine Technology.

Head of department Sverre Steen talked about the department’s role as a research institution,

"Bedriftsdagen" has once again been held at the Department for Marine Technology. The day provides a chance for corporations to present themselves to the students at the department. 

The revised concept for Ocean Space Centre has passed the cost-benefit analysis.
