About
Learn more about Ocean Tech Review, its purpose, marine research and engineering focus, research approach, and the background behind the platform.
Who We Are
Ocean Tech Review is an independent platform dedicated to marine science, naval architecture, ocean engineering, and emerging maritime technologies. The site examines research findings, engineering methods, industry developments, and technical resources through clear, evidence-based analysis.
Our purpose is to make complex maritime knowledge easier to understand without removing the technical context needed by researchers, engineers, students, and industry professionals. Coverage includes ship hydrodynamics, vessel design, computational methods, offshore engineering, marine systems, automation, and the technologies shaping the future of the ocean industries.
Ocean Tech Review
An independent technical platform focused on marine science, maritime technology, and engineering-driven analysis.
- Independent research and technical analysis
- Marine science, naval architecture, and ocean engineering
- Maritime technology and digital transformation
- Industry trends and practical engineering insight
What We Cover
Research
Marine science, naval architecture, ocean engineering research, emerging concepts, design methods, and scientific developments.
Technology
Maritime technology, computational engineering, automation, digital transformation, and innovative solutions for the ocean industries.
Industry
Shipping trends, offshore industries, maritime markets, engineering practice, and global developments across the marine sector.
Our Approach
Ocean Tech Review evaluates technical subjects by considering research quality, engineering relevance, practical limitations, and potential industry applications. The aim is to distinguish established knowledge from emerging claims and to identify where evidence, validation, or further investigation may still be required.
Where appropriate, articles consider recognized technical literature, classification guidance, engineering standards, and established maritime organizations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC). These sources provide technical context; interpretation and conclusions remain independent and are presented to help readers understand both the engineering basis and the practical implications of a subject.
Our Mission
Connecting science, engineering, and the maritime industry.
Ocean Tech Review aims to turn complex marine research and technological developments into clear, practical, and accessible knowledge while preserving the engineering detail that gives that knowledge value.
About the Author
Aydin Arjmand
Aydin Arjmand is a naval architecture researcher and master’s student whose work focuses on ship structures, computational ship hydrodynamics, hull-form development, and the numerical analysis of vessel performance.
His research interests include free-surface flows, resistance and propulsion-related hydrodynamics, wave–ship interaction, and the effects of shallow or confined waters. His work combines CFD simulation, parametric hull-form modelling, engineering interpretation, and workflow automation to investigate how hull geometry, operating conditions, and modelling assumptions influence vessel performance.
Selected applications of this work are presented through the Projects section, while related technical subjects, research literature, and engineering methods are examined through Research Reviews and the site’s Technical Guides and Articles.
