Two-way knowledge flow
Knowledge-based organisations like SSPA constantly have to adapt to a changing world. At SSPA, all specialist engineers can be involved in research and development (R&D) in addition to the commercial work. This facilitates a two-way knowledge flow between research and business. The decentralised R&D-organisation does, however, require very clear management with defined goals, roadmaps and prioritisation. Our strategic research plans help us to set the direction and to break down the challenges into manageable goals.
The starting point of the strategic research plan is also the endpoint: “What is our role in the society of the future?” We believe that our fundamental mission will remain unchanged: to act for sustainable maritime development by providing hydrodynamic advice and expertise. Our main contribution in the hydrodynamic field has always been, and will continue to be, to assist the maritime industry with performance assessments at the design stage. Our recommendations are always based on scientific knowledge that is systematically tested and verified. Without accurate and independent evaluation, the ship building industry cannot develop energy-efficient and safe vessels.

Seakeeping, fw-factor and combined CFD/EFD methods hot topics at ITTC
ITTC has an important role as a cooperation platform for all towing tank organizations. It gives SSPA, as an active member, an opportunity to influence the worldwide shipping community. At the ITTC’s 28th full conference, the Seakeeping Committee presented a recommended procedure for determining fw, that is largely based on work by our experts. A new Specialist Committee on Combined CFD/EFD methods was decided. The chairman is one of SSPA’s experts.
