ITTC (International Towing Tank Conference)

The International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) is a global organization that develops standardized methods and procedures for testing ship models in towing tanks. These facilities simulate conditions ships face at sea, helping engineers accurately predict a vessel’s performance, hydrodynamics, and fuel efficiency. By establishing common testing standards, the ITTC ensures consistency and reliability in research, design, and regulatory processes across the maritime industry. This collaboration improves ship safety, efficiency, and environmental impact by providing accurate data for designing better marine vessels.
