R&D Center

As Türk Loydu R&D Center, we conduct research and development activities to support technological innovations and digital transformation in the maritime, defense, and industrial sectors. We aim to respond to challenges in the sector by producing innovative engineering solutions and to lead the way for the sustainable technologies of the future. Our projects focus on critical areas such as digitalization, sustainability, autonomous systems, and energy efficiency, designed to meet the needs of the maritime and industrial sectors.

We develop innovative projects to address the evolving requirements of the maritime and defense industries and further advance our projects through local and international collaborations. We research green technologies for the future, aligned with alternative fuels, decarbonization technologies, and zero-emission targets, and develop new regulations. Additionally, through our work on digital twin technology, autonomous ship systems, and high-speed marine vessels using composite materials, we contribute to the digitalization and efficiency goals of the maritime sector.

In our R&D center, we develop software based on 3D structural analysis, finite element analysis methods, and engineering simulations. These software tools enable faster and more reliable structural analysis, dimensioning calculations, and performance evaluations for ships. With a customer-focused approach, we aim to provide state-of-the-art technological solutions to our stakeholders in both local and international projects.

As Türk Loydu R&D Center, we continue to add value to the sectors we serve, including maritime and defense industries, by adopting an approach that promotes sustainable and innovative solutions.
