Marine engineering is an important industrial technology for providing sources of power and energy of marine vessels. Hence, it determines the extents of development and upgrading of maritime industry. Our working members of the interdisciplinary team consisting of academic professors from four universities have developed and owned a few key marine engineering technologies. We have helped marine factories using such key technologies and received significant benefits. In this project, we will unite with the marine factories of upstream, middle stream and down stream industries to establish the Promotion and Service Alliance for Marine Industrial Technology (PSAMIT) by virtue of our advantages of industry applicability of our technologies, capability of talent cultivation, and technology conformity of marine industries in order to assist their continuous development. Three main service frames are organized, which include technology counselling, marketing and promotion for technologies, and cultivation of marine professionals. In the aspect of technology counselling, the application of our key technologies such as promotion of marine engine performance, raise of fuel properties and combustion efficiency, anti-corrosion and self-cleaning of vessel hull, LED illumination toward carbon reduction, fault diagnosis and elimination, and intelligent power control is involved. Regarding to marketing and promotion for technologies, we will build up and maintain the websites of the alliance, promote and educate the most recent marine technologies, and create cooperating projects between academicians and industrialists, and transfer patents to possible manufactures. We will hold relevant technology workshops or seminar to disseminate and educate new technologies. In dealing with the last service frame for the cultivation of marine professionals, a serial of personnel training courses for professional licenses such as boiler or pressurized vessel will be provided. The platform of service and development for marine industrial technology will be established systematically during the execution of the three-year project. We will also assist the marine industrial factories for the performance evaluation of marine power plants, application for government subsidy, technology counselling by experts, and developing together new technologies. The most innovative and complete center of promotion and service for marine industrial technology is expected to establish so that internationalization of marine industry and value-added technologies will be soon achieved with the effort of our alliance team.
