Innovation in High Speed Marine Vessels

2-3 March 2011, Fremantle, Australia

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.

Building on the success of the 2009 conference, the 2011 International Conference on Innovation in High Speed Marine Vessels will again provide an opportunity for all those involved with this sector of the maritime industry to present and discuss recent and future developments in all these aspects of commercial, military and recreational high speed vessels.
