MARTEC is the maritime technology chapter of KIVI
At MARTEC we hope to provide a platform for you, our members, to meet and exchange information and views on anything and everything that has to do with our favorite profession, the maritime industry. Together we hope to contribute to its benefit by sharing experience and know-how and thereby to continuously improve our technological capabilities. If anything, what we all share is the vision of a flourishing, world-leading Dutch maritime sector.
Activities
In this respect we promote and facilitate the professional development of our members, through:
- Monthly networking events with speakers presenting the latest technical innovations in the maritime industry,
- An annual symposium on technical hot topics for naval architects,
- An annual visit to a maritime company or organization,
- The December lecture organized jointly with KNVTS (the Royal Dutch Society of Shipbuilders) and
- Every fourth year, the award of an honorary medal for outstanding achievements in the field of maritime engineering.
Monthly lecture details

The event will start with a complimentary meal of soup and bread at 6.15 PM, sponsored by the speakers organization, and is followed by the lecture from 7.00 PM until 9.30 PM.
