Welcome to the Marine Design Centre

With its outstanding maritime heritage, it is highly appropriate that the North East should once again become a world centre of excellence for marine design.

Our vision is that the Marine Design Centre will be a global showcase for state of the art design skill and technology. It will allow companies within our region to access new markets, grow market share and gain competitive advantage.

Such will its reputation on the world stage be, that the Marine Design Centre will also be a magnet to encourage international companies to relocate to the North East, providing them with a single point of access to advanced marine design technology.
