Description
ABS serves as the not-for-profit marine classification, standards, and technology organization for the U.S (as recognized in U.S. Code 46 §3316(a)). With over 3,000 engineers, scientists, and marine surveyors, ABS possesses global expertise in the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of all types of marine assets. ABS research portfolio elements of interest for this work include hydrodynamics and computational fluid dynamics, naval architecture and marine engineering, machinery, control systems, and automation; materials for the marine environment; in-service engineering and maintenance optimization; and sustainability/alternative energy for marine assets.
ABS provides a wide range of engineering analysis, modeling, and simulation support for the marine energy sector. This includes hydrodynamic modeling of wave and flow movements, structural analysis of marine energy equipment, mooring analysis, system reliability and safety modeling, and verification of alignment/conformance to applicable engineering and other technical standards.
ABS provides independent verification/certification of marine energy systems under the ABS New Technology Qualification (NTQ) and Approval-In-Principle (AIP) processes. We have a long history of partnering with private companies and academic institutions to support the development of marine energy technology.
