Over 600 papers have been presented and published in both Chinese and English at the annual China International Conference on High Performance Marine Vessels, which is now in its 12th year and which has become an important forum for the discussion of technical and scientific matters relating to high performance marine vessels both in China and overseas.

High performance marine vessels for both commercial and recreational use continue to be developed to meet a wider range of roles and more demanding operating conditions. The high speed maritime industry is seeking to extend its operating envelopes, reduce downtime and increase reliability, safety and comfort. The use of new materials and more efficient production methods are being explored to reduce costs.

HPMV China 2012 will again bring together representatives of international maritime industry and academia to present and discuss developments relating to a wide range of high performance marine vessels, including small planning craft, paramilitary vessels, passenger ferries, freight carriers and recreational craft. Monohull, multihull, ACV/SES/WIG/HYF, and novel hull designs will all be covered.

CHINA INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW

The Conference will be co-located with the China International Boat Show. This very successful Show, now in its 17th year, will provide speakers and delegates with the opportunity to meet representatives of the Chinese and International boat industry, and discuss new developments in boat and equipment manufacture.
