3 - 4 July 2008, London, UK.
 Overview
The trend towards increased size of Container Ships presents a unique challenge for Owners, Designers, Operators and Classification Societies. The high speeds and unconventional structural arrangements of Container Ships can increase the risks associated with innovation. The expansion plans for the Panama Canal are also set to create a new breed of Panamax vessels.
Questions of structural strength, severe weather loads and stability must be addresed. 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 the new generation of Container Ship, Naval Architects and Operators are constantly striving for innovation. This conference will explore the very 
latest in Container Ship thinking.
