In The Spotlight
Ocean Technology Enterprise Centre
The Ocean Technology Enterprise Centre, located in the new NRC Industry Partnership Facility in St. John's, Newfoundland, is a place for ocean technology companies to develop their technology and business opportunities in a supportive and cooperative environment.
NRC-IOT is Canada's national centre for ocean technology research & development. It was established in 1985 to support the development of innovative technologies in the private sector and to assist oceans-related public initiatives. The Institute's capability is unique to the nation — no other organization offers the combination of knowledge, experience and world-class facilities. Research is conducted on technologies for use in ocean observation, marine safety, Arctic operations and performance evaluation. Major facilities operated by the Institute include a 200-metre Towing Tank, a 75-metre by 32-metre Offshore Engineering Basin, and a 90-metre Ice Tank, the longest in the world.
