Ships, offshore wind turbines, wave energy converters, and aquaculture facilities are all engineered structures operating in the open ocean. The discipline provides methods to design, construct, test, and operate these important structures in the most challenging of operating environments - the sea. The focus is to develop safe, cost-effective, and efficient structures, that have minimal adverse impacts on the local and global environments. Sustainability, in its broadest sense, is therefore something that is constantly pursued.
