Imtech Marine, the maritime technologies arm of the recently bankrupt Royal Imtech N.V., announced it has signed on for a prolonged stay at the RDM Innovation Dock where technical students work to develop new maritime technologies such as autonomous and emission free sailing.

According to Imtech Marine, Rotterdam’s position in the maritime market makes it “the perfect place to invest in a greener future” and “raise interest of technical talents to come and work in the maritime sector,” the company said in a press release.

Part of the RDM Innovation Dock is the Imtech Marine Energy & Automation Lab, which collaborates with the University of Rotterdam, among others.

The contract was signed at the World Port Days 2015 in Rotterdam by Mark Linde, Global Director Design Technology & Engineering Imtech Marine, and Angelien Sanderman, Member of the Board University of Rotterdam.
