The National Shipbuilding Office (NSO) works closely with Maritime Research and Innovation UK (MarRI-UK) to encourage innovation and collaboration across the sector and between research institutions, academia and industry. The NSO has funded a comprehensive study by MarRI-UK of the UK’s academic capability and capacity for shipbuilding and a report will be published shortly.
