Course Description

The world has abundant natural energy resources from the wind, wave and tides. Being different from the traditional fossil fuels, these energy resources will never run out. Renewable energy is essential for reducing the potential devastating effects of climate change, and protecting the natural environment for future generations. Therefore, when we are talking about the future offshore industry, marine renewable energy stands in the breach. At the same time, the shipping industry is on a revolution for zero emission and unmanned development. There is an urgent demand to develop the technologies to support the sustainable goal in the ocean engineering sectors.
