ne of the fi rst things Martin Murphy tells you about himself is that despite a 30-year


career spanning various facets of the engineering world from the navy to big corporations, the marine sector has been ‘the current that has fl owed through’ this career path. T e second thing he tells you is that he can’t resist a nice metaphor. T is is a busy time for Murphy.


He’s the new president of the Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology


(IMarEST) in London, the global home for almost 16,000 professionals working in the sector across a range of spheres encompassing everything from oil & gas to maritime services to marine leisure. As well as being deeply involved in the work the institute does to champion a sector that is clearly very close to Murphy’s heart, he has also spent the past six years working in the area of marine renewal generation. Murphy heads up an SME (currently 10 employees) called Tidal Energy Limited.


the tidal resource just around the UK coastline, that could contribute 5 to 10% of the UK’s electricity requirements in future.
