CISMaRT’s 60 members come from three broad stakeholder groups – industry, government and academia – and deal in design, engineering, manufacturing, research and development of the marine sector.

CISMaRT’s four R&D pillars support the shipbuilding and marine sector through innovation in technology, engineering, manufacturing and policy development. 

Academic institutions, governments and industry have worked together to better understand harsh ocean environments; to foster responsible shipping and offshore operations; to develop green technologies for marine applications; and to provide education, training and professional development of highly-qualified personnel.
