This is done through intensive collaboration with maritime suppliers and other maritime research institutions. Furthermore, the Leer Shipping Institute initiates and supports the development and testing of green technologies with scientific/nautical/operational expertise in direct contact with the (future) nautical uses within the context of research programmes and Master’s/Bachelor’s theses.
Teaching
The Leer Faculty of Shipping trains leaders for ship and shipping operations who act responsibly in their maritime environment as ship’s officers and captains on board or as shipping company managers.
