DESIGN & OPERATION OF CONTAINER SHIPS

22 - 23 November 2006 - London, UK  OVERVIEW The trend towards increased size of container ships presents unique challenges for owners, designers, operators and classification societies. The high speeds and unconventional structural arrangement of container ships can increase the risks associated with innovation. Questions of structural strength, severe weather loads and stability must be addressed. Thought is also being given to deck cargo arrangements; problems with securing the containers to resist green water and potential problems with the safety and speed of loading and unloading are beginning to be addressed. To meet demands for this new generation of container ships, naval architects and operators are constantly striving for innovation. This conference will explore the very latest in container ship thinking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Content RINA invites papers exploring all topics associated with container ship design, including: Structure Hydrodynamics Operation Lashing loads Container handling On-land transport infrastructure Feeder Vessels Hazardous cargoes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registration If you would like to register for this conference, either Download the Programme & Registration Form (pdf file, approx 300 kB) and return to the Events Department at the address given on the form.
