MARINSHIP WELCOMES NEW INDUSTRIAL AND MARITIME BUSINESSES

Since that time, it has been home to a tradition of industrial and maritime innovation. Marinship is planning for a future as an innovation zone to foster entrepreneurship for existing and new companies that seek an ecosystem that will allow them to thrive.
