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
