The
MoU marks an important milestone for both organizations as they collaborate to perform Hydrodynamic Studies and
Model Testing on ongoing new construction projects. Furthermore, the MoU
provides for expanding this collaboration to all future projects classed by IRS
for Indian shipyards.
MARIN, a globally renowned maritime research
institute, will contribute to the partnership by sharing scientific knowledge
and providing hydrodynamic research services to IRS and its clients on a
project-by-project basis. IRS will also have access to MARIN’s research
facilities and tools in the Netherlands. This will enhance IRS’ ability to
provide state-of-the-art maritime solutions. IRS, on its part, will provide key
inputs for the concerned projects, and ensure that the requirements of its
clients are fully met. To ensure that the aim is met, both parties will
determine the final scope of the cooperation through definitive agreements for
each project.
PK Mishra, Joint Managing Director of
IRS, stated: “As part of our mission to
elevate professional research in shipbuilding, this collaboration marks a significant step forward. We aim to enhance
our services by fostering innovation and excellence with the help of MARIN’s
expertise and resources.”
The numerous new construction projects, currently
under IRS Classification, of which a substantial number are Defence projects,
will benefit from the MoU, which, through sharing of expertise between both
organisations, will provide Shipyards and designers with world class
hydrodynamic services for existing and future projects
