This laboratory belongs to
the Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation (IDEC).
The school was established in April, 1994 with the objective of educating specialists who can contribute to the development of developing countries.
The program for marine development technology is prepared in the Development Science Division of the school.
The research activities show the interest in basic investigation on marine development technology and the current topics are follows.
Design and maintenance techniques for cathodic protection systems of large marine structure
Measureing techniques for welding residual stress by using X-rays
Marine development and environment preservation
Marine transportation technology
Remote sensing of coastal environments
In addition, the research topic which is contributed to the international cooperation with the developing countries in the field of marine technology is also welcome. The laboratory provides a wide range of
research opportunities on marine development technology under the close cooperations with the laboratories in the research-group of Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Engineering systems.
