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.
Chartwell Marine is expanding its work in the fast passenger ferry market, drawing best practice from CTV design. Its low-wake ferry hullform is a direct response to how electrification has fundamentally changed vessel design.
Salmon Marine’s Wavebreaker dynamic ballast system, originally conceived for offshore racing powerboats, has evolved into a design solution for reducing vertical accelerations experienced by crew and passengers operating at speed.
Fully electric, eCSOV’s are being designed in Spain for Bibby Marine. Battery power, with enough energy to power a CSOV for 24hours, will increase efficiency and cut costs according to the company. New and more thermally stable batteries will aid the transition.
Power generation and offshore support vessels are both in the frame to benefit from fourth-generation small modular nuclear reactors. Ulsteinvik and Island Offshore explore the possibilities.
Deeper, more exposed and less accessible fossil fuel reserves require more sophisticated offshore support vessel designs. With floating LNG increasingly in demand to help access and process fuels.
When the global maritime industry gathers at SMM in Hamburg from September 1st to 4th, PALFINGER will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of deck equipment, lifesaving appliances, and service solutions designed to support safe, efficient, and reliable operations at sea.
Vessel owners of 10-year-old ships are going through a mid-life crisis. To retrofit or not to retrofit, that is the question? Can investments in energy savings be recovered in these not old, but not new ships.
The digital age is transforming the ship repair industry as online monitoring and digital twins linked to a burgeoning predictive maintenance regime takes hold.
Visibility is becoming increasingly critical as charterers must now calculate Scope 3 emissions from their supply chains. Speed optimisation is helping to reduce the total.
Australia’s first 100% electrically driven passenger ferry, a collaboration between Aus Ships and Volvo Penta, aims to validate scalable electric marine propulsion with the overall aim of decarbonising the country’s waterways.
Read stories from across our global community, including our new specialist e-newsletters across Power & Sustainability, Ship Repair & Maintenance, Warship Technology, Ferries & Fast Craft and Offshore Technology.
