Dear Reader, A few years ago we changed the MARIN slogan from 'Challenging wind and waves' to 'Better Ships, Blue Oceans'. We wanted to be more specific about our mission 'to make ships cleaner, safer and smart and to contribute to a sustainable use of the seas'. 'Better ships' also means that we can have the most detailed knowledge and most accurate tools to predict the behaviour of ships - if it does not contribute to better ships, it does not have real relevance.
