On 30 September 2016, The Flemish Government decided to invest in the construction of Flanders Maritime Laboratory in Ostend. Live images of the construction in progress are available here.
The laboratory will include a golf and ocean basin and a towing tank, that will also have an observation tunnel to investigate the flow between the keel of the ship and the bottom. The flow between the ship and the tank walls can be visualized with side windows at discrete positions along the tank.
