Research & Development

At Bureau Veritas, Research & Development (R&D) is the backbone of our technical expertise. The insight we gain through collaborative and in-house research shapes our Rules, guidelines and software developments.

We are pioneers in safety and performance, whether investigating alternative fuels and propulsion methods, or deepening our understanding of hydrodynamics and structural considerations. Innovation is in our DNA, and we continue to build on this legacy with over 72 ongoing R&D projects today.

Working in-house or collaboratively with maritime and external partners, we keep the needs of marine and offshore stakeholders top of mind. Where regulations lag behind technological innovation, our R&D teams help us to bridge that regulatory gap to help the maritime industry progress safely.
