Every year MARIN organizes its full course ‘Hydrodynamics of Floating Offshore Structures’ at its Wageningen
facilities in the Netherlands. Since 2008 there is a Houston version as well. The participants after the courses: “Great
and interesting course, thanks!”, “Fantastic - great refresher!”, “I would definitely recommend this course to my
colleagues”. This was the reason to organize its short and applied version again in 2018.
