The Naval Architect provides in-depth information on all aspects of vessel design, construction and engineering. Practical applications of latest technology and case studies are accompanied by analysis and foresights. Published every two months, the magazine covers everything from superyachts and short-hop ferries to tankers and heavy-lift vessels; from battery pack installations and sail-assisted solutions to LNG tank retrofits; and from offshore safety to warship resilience.
Carbon capture and storage is expected to play a major role in the decarbonisation of shipping and other industries. Whether that captured carbon is sent for permanent storage or is purified for further industrial use, specialist vessels will need to be built to ship the gas.
Converting LNG gas tankers to floating LNG storage units is a complex business. It requires merging ship design with LNG industry processing equipment arrangements, with stability and weight key issues.

Data centres are a drain on critical power and water supplies, raising concerns about competing costs for resources. Floating data centres can solve many of the concerns around this technology.
