Towing tank facilities
Model testing of ships and offshore structures under extreme weather, wave and current situations before the actual construction phase.
Our towing tank facilities:
Deep water towing tank
- Length x breadth x water depths: 240 x 12 x 5.5m
- Speed: From 0 to 14m/s
- Accuracy: +/- 0.2% of actual value
- Maximum wave height: 0.9m
Shallow water towing tank
- Length x breadth x water depths: 25 x 8 x 0 to 0.8m
- Speed: From 0 to 2m/s
- Accuracy: +/- 0.2% of actual value
