In 2006 the Technical University of Denmark and FORCE Technology established the Danish Centre for Maritime Technology (DCMT). The objective is to promote and develop Danish maritime technology know-how through increased research, development, and innovation within the maritime industry, and also to promote an influx of new engineers to the segment. One task of the centre is to ensure that the research activities undertaken are considered relevant by the maritime industry. The Danish Maritime Foundation has funded the activities over five years with DKK25 million (US$5.3m). A total of nine R&D projects have already been initialised in the areas of safety, environment, and efficiency.
