Ship Conversion, Repair & Maintenance Online Conference 2021
26 January 2021
Introduction
The Royal Institution of Naval Architects announces an opportunity to contribute to the discussion on Ship Conversion, Repair and Maintenance. Global Market on these operations is rapidly growing and it's offering adaptable and affordable solutions for all classes of ships and marine structures. This increase in demand has been mainly attributed to the improvements in mainland trade routes, such as Far East-Europe trade route, and the shortening of supply chains. National and international norms and regulations have influenced the evolution of this sector, and the awareness of the Environmental implications of some procedures have enabled a sustainable development of these operations.
