Bas Buchner, Marin president, and Ron van den Oetelaar, General Manager at Bosch Rexroth Benelux, have signed a contract for a new wave generator for Marin’s new Concept Basin.
Part of this contract is a complete new wave generation control system for the wave generators in the Offshore Basin and Seakeeping and Manoeuvring Basin, commissioned in 2000. These wave generators have been continuously operational ever since, providing realistic wave conditions for complex model tests.
The wave generator in the Concept Basin will be installed in August 2015, making this updated facility ideal for model test research in the early design stage to be used intensively by innovative small and medium size enterprises (SME’s).
The update of the wave generators in Marin's Offshore Basin and Seakeeping and Manoeuvring Basin will be carried out at the end of 2015/early 2016.
