10 - 11  December 2009, Kharagpur, India.
Organised by
The Royal Institution of Naval Architects
and
Department of Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture, IIT Kharagpur.
 Overview
Today, the international maritime industry faces new challenges as it responds to the global financial crisis. It is therefore understandable that the industry's priority and attention is on consolidation and survival. However, at such a time it is all the more important for the industry to look ahead in order to respond to the continuing challenges it will face from the increasing demands of operators, regulators and society for greater efficiency, safety and the protection of the environment, as it emerges from the current crisis. This response will require innovative thinking from all sectors of the maritime industry, and particularly those involved in ship design and construction.
The first International Conference on Ship & Offshore Technology - India, will take "Developments in Ship Design & Construction" as its theme and will bring together members of the international maritime industry to present and discuss the latest developments in the ship design and construction process which will provide the improvements in productivity and cost-competitiveness necessary to respond to the demand for lower cost of ownership.
