Concept Rationale / Problem Statement

There is a growing demand for specialized technical skills in marine science, aquaculture, ocean engineering, and climate resilience to support the expanding blue economy. However, post-graduate training in these fields is often limited by insufficient access to offshore environments where practical, real-world learning and technology testing can take place.

Concept Sustainability Plan

The sustainability plan will focus on maintaining long-term operational, financial, and environmental viability of the floating training facility. Financial sustainability will be supported through a combination of training programme fees, research partnerships, facility leasing for technology trials, and service agreements with academic institutions and government agencies.
