- Designing ships and offshore structures, from standard vessels to innovative autonomous or underwater vehicles.
- Advise a ship operator to optimise the use of its fleet (fleet management).
- Develop new rules (classification societies, IMO...) to guaranty the safety of the structures (ships, floating offshore wind turbines) and the staff (mariners and operators), to protect the marine environment (air and sea) against pollution, noise, keeping the ocean resources available for the next generations.
- Building marine structures (from panel line to block assembly and finally the dry dock or launching facility).
- Design and build ship equipment such as propellers, engines, ballast tanks, cranes…
- Design, installation and maintenance of marine renewable energy farms, especially for offshore wind farms, including economic and planning aspects; subsea production systems to explore oil, gas and other mineral resources, and design ocean systems associated with using the resources of the sea.
- To design marine renewable energy devices to promote the so-called “Blue Economy” and allow the sustainable use of sea resources.
- To deal with logistics of maritime transportation, including optimization of maritime transportation, short sea shipping, intermodality and safety of maritime traffic and port operation.
- Perform experimental and numerical modelling required for the design of ships and offshore structures, such as: o Assess extreme loads inducing failures of marine structures (wave impact, sloshing, ultimate bending moment); o Assess stresses and strains in a structure using non-linear finite element methods; o Study the drag, seakeeping and manoeuvrability of a ship using CFD codes; o Assess the vibration and the risk of cracks induced by cycling loads (fatigue) in a structure; o Design and optimise hull form, propeller and rudder, and also assess the required propulsion power to select engines.
- Management of a project, including the maritime rules from IMO, SO AS…
- Be familiar with new emerging concepts in design rules and codes: reliability, risk, big data, design for “X”…
