6-7 September 2007 - Osaka, Japan
International Symposium on SHIPBUILDING TECHNOLOGY - Coatings and Fabrication - 6-7 September 2007, Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan
Organised by: 
The Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers
The Royal Institution of Naval Architects
The Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers and The Royal Institution of Naval Architects are for the first time organizing the International Symposium on Shipbuilding Technology (ISST2007). The theme of ISST2007 will be fabrications and coatings.
Introduction
There is a demand for thicker and more durable primer coatings to be applied to steel plates prior to initial fabrication of ships to reduce the cost of coating larger ships. Anti-corrosive technology in ballast tanks must respond to environmental demands to prohibit the use of tar and reduce the use of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Fabrication must utilize more efficient methods and the use of new materials. ISST2007 will provide an opportunity for all those concerned with this important and key area of shipbuilding to present and discuss the latest developments in these and other aspects of fabrication and coatings.
Papers will relate to the following topics:
・ Protective Coatings in Water Ballast Tanks and Void Spaces
・ Coating and VOC emission
・ Anti-Fouling Systems of outer-shell of ships
・ Metal fabrication
・ Composite material, nano-technology
