On November-2014, a joint International Research on Offshore Engineering (OERC) was established. This reserach center was organized by Perkumpulan Ahli Kelautan Mekanik Ruang Angkasa untuk Ilmuwan-Insinyur. The society has been registered under Menteri Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Republik Indonesia, registered no: AHU-00111.60.10-2014. This society has nickname as the International Society of Ocean, Mechanical and Aerospace – Scientists and Engineers – by collaboration with academic and research institutions. The OERC focuses on offshore fixed abd floating structures on safety and other issues. The OERC currently has conducted several experiments for offshore structures such as rounded-shape FPSO in tandem and side by side arrangements.

The target of OERC is gathered the researchers involved in areas of offshore engineering by collecting data for research purposes and sharing their expertise, discuss researches issues on safety and others. We believe interchangeable of idea and sharing knowdledge between researchers are important point to grow up the sciences and engineering which is benefit for word wide communities. Therefore, we believe this OERC will able to refresh the research experience of the people in these areas and generate impact for the cross discipline research collaboration and knowledge exchange.
