Danish Centre for Maritime Technology

Danish Centre for Maritime Technology (DCMT) was established in 2006 as a co-operation between The Technical University of Denmark (DTU/MEK) and FORCE Technology. The centre is funded by the Danish Maritime Foundation for a five year period.

The objective of the centre is to promote and develop Danish know-how within maritime technology through increased research, development and innovation in the maritime industry. Further it is DCMT’s purpose to raise interest in the maritime engineering degrees to ensure an inflow of competent and innovative engineers to the ”Blue Denmark”.

DCMT is acting as a catalyst between the academic world and the maritime business both to improve the knowledge-flow from DTU to the business, but also to ensure that the Research Activities are considered relevant for the business. In that respect a number of research activities have been initiated at DTU which fall within the three focus areas: Safety, Efficient Operations and Environment.

The programme management of DCMT is made by FORCE Technology. The research and development activities in the centre is closely coordinated with DTU Mechanical Engineering.
