Overview
Few sectors of the maritime industry have embraced innovation as readily and successfully as the high speed marine vessels sector, in seeking to extend operating envelopes, reduce downtime and increase reliability, safety and comfort, and reduce costs. Advanced design, the use of new materials and more efficient production methods and other means have and are all being explored to achieve these aims for commercial, military and recreational vessels.
