A large European Union consortium consisting of classification societies, shipyards, designers, ship-owners and research institutes is investigating integrated ship design and operating environments to ensure that shipping is safe and "green".
The European Union project MUNIN (Maritime Unmanned Navigation through intelligence in Networks) is studying the possibilities of realising a completely unmanned ship by looking at the need for new sensor systems, improved maintenance methods...
In a strategic internal project SINTEF has extended and integrated existing software into a new efficient simulation tool capable of simulating all phases in the launch of a free fall lifeboat in wind and waves.
Important work on the validation of shiphandling manoeuvring models is being conducted in the R&D project SimVal (“Sea Trials and Model Tests for Validation of Shiphandling Simulation Models”, founded by the Research Council of Norway).
The Cargo Ferry research project is supported by MAROFF and aims to develop an integrated concept for goods transport along the Norwegian coast and between Norway and its nearest neighbouring country.
Aircraft noise unquestionably causes annoyance, but reactions to a given noise exposure vary wildly. The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency and SINTEF ICT Acoustics have teamed up to strengthen the connection between the aircraft noise situation and...
Development of New and Modification of Proposed Electrical Insulation Materials.Both well established and new, promising electrical insulating materials are tested, and further modified to change morphology and intrinsic properties.
Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the most common occupational diseases. This is a fact even if most countries have legislations specifying how much sound employees can be exposed to. Therefore new models for NIHL seem to be necessary to...
A Norwegian satellite project could provide broadband coverage in the Arctic. Telenor Satellite Broadcasting AS and the Norwegian Space Centre have joined forces in a project that aims to identify future needs for data communication in the Arctic.
SINTEF has developed a new tool for mapping of noise from road traffic. It is in use by NPRA – Norwegian Public Road Administration to monitor the noise pollution that bothers 1 500 000 Norwegians on a daily basis.
Every 5 years since 1979 SINTEF has performed nationally extensive registries of patients in mental health care. The registries have included all patients in 24-hour institutions and under private care at the time of registry. From 1989 onwards...
Norway has the opportunity to develop the macroalgae cultivation to a new, large industry. Industrial cultivation of macroalgae gives many opportunities within the production of bioenergy, food and health food, chemicals, and contributes to...
In order to improve reliability related to operation of flexible risers there is need for cooperation, improvements and systematic work. The starting point should be an industry consensus of what is the current status and secondly promote and obtain...
Does the current regime work? Follow-up, dialogue, reporting, controls and sanctions.
The main goal is to improve the clinical understanding of relationships between clinical/radiological characteristics, disease courses and treatment responses in brain tumor patients. This will enable improved classification and improve patient...
The project is based on a health and function obstacle perspective focusing on sports and leisure activities for elite athletes and recreational athletes. The goal is to create more opportunities for people with functional reduction units so that...
The overall objective of the project is to establish basic understanding of deep water pipeline repair welding and hot tapping, as studied in both national and international laboratories using pressure chambers to simulate dry hyperbaric welding...
The main goal of the project is to establish criteria and solutions for safe and cost-effective application of materials for hydrocarbon exploration and production in arctic regions.
