About us
Nul-Kryds is a student union representing engineering students with an interest in the maritime field at the Technical University of Denmark.
The association is independent and consists of volunteers who organize both academic and social events with the purpose of strengthening the link between students and the industry, as well as helping students in everyday life.
The majorty of marine engineering students at the Technical University of Denmark have been in contact with Nul-Kryds at some point during their studies. The association was founded in 1947 on the occasion of the first NTHS Congress. Nul-Kryds has participated in every NTHS congresses since

As the maritime sector accelerates toward zero-carbon operations, ammonia is emerging as a promising future fuel. Yet key questions remain: How close are we to safe, scalable adoption—and what must shipowners, operators, ports, and crews prepare for?

DTU has established a new program "Maritim Teknik" which we are very excited about as the new line will make the maritime line more visible to the students. At open house we from nul kryds were very happy to see how many intersted guests we had, and how many joined our tour of our marine facilities at DTU. The line will be very similiar to the old "mechanical engineering with maritime specialization", and will have joint classes with the mechnaical engineering students. The line is different as it has more maritime mandatory courses, but still has a few courses of free choice, so each student can pick exactly what direction of the broad indusrtry they find interesting. The courses will be mostly in Ballerup campus, but the maritime courses will all take place in Lyngby.
