Overview

Over 500 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 18th year
and which has become an important forum for the discussion of technical and scientific matters
relating to high performance marine vessels in both the Chinese domestic and international
markets.

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 2013 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.
