Several years ago, a friend put me onto this website:
http://hudson.dl.stevens-tech.edu/maritimeforecast/. This is the maritime
college at Stevens Institute.
That's an excellent web resource, and thanks for linking to it. Though
as a proud Stevens alum, I will clarify that Stevens does not have a
maritime college. That might be something of a loss for the community,
because they are really quite good at it.
The web site you reference belongs to the Davidson Laboratory, which is
certainly a part of Stevens Institute, but it is not a teaching
college. Stevens does not award any maritime degrees or credentials.

Stevens has a dept of civil and ocean engineering.
My grad school classmate is a full professor there and runs the maritime systems program. it is his model that is used in the calculation for the subject website. Davidson lab owns and operates an extra long tow tank that is used for developing boat hulls.
What the exact linkages are is not important to me. Google their website if you want to know the details.
I guess a maritime college is thought of as producing Boat officers and marine engineers. Stevens produces the other type of engineers.

Fred at fred@tug44.org is correct in that Stevens while a most stellar university is "Not" a "maritime academy" in the true sense of the word. Fred is correct to say that Stevens is not in competition with the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York nor the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.
Kings Point produces many officers for the Merchant Marines and of course the Naval Academy produces many officers for the U.S Navy. Stevens has in fact produced many outstanding naval engineers!
