Ship Repair & Maintenance is a window into vessel lifecycle management, focusing on the latest technical advancements, regulatory requirements, and best practices in maintenance and repair operations.
Topics such as condition-based and predictive maintenance, hull integrity, corrosion control and propulsion system overhauls will be explored, in addition to the application of digital tools in maintenance diagnostics and planning. Ship Repair & Maintenance will also follow market trends and the distribution of work across the world.
Composite materials are poised to expand beyond traditional vessel size limits as researchers tackle durability and certification challenges. Findings from the FIBRESHIP initiative show how seawater exposure affects structural performance of large FRP laminates, providing critical evidence to support future composite ship design, regulatory acceptance and maritime innovation worldwide efforts.
Autonomous surveillance vessels are enhancing coastal security through remote operation, reduced crewing requirements and improved mission flexibility. This study combines hull design, stability, resistance, powering and seakeeping analysis to develop a cost-effective unmanned craft capable of operating in challenging conditions while delivering precise manoeuvrability in constrained coastal and canal environments
