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.
A clear path to decarbonisation is not yet available but MEPC 84 has given a clear direction of travel. While attempts to sink the NZF have apparently failed, putting its proponents in the driving seat, technical discussions – unlike the political debate – carry on regardless.
The conflict in Iran has seen some unintended consequences, driving up fossil fuel costs and making alternative fuels viable. At the same time, it is fuelling interest in vessel efficiency and raising the prospects of more fuels in the mix.
Supercritical CO2 turbines are not new, but CNNC has tested a 15MW sCO2 turbine, which offers a power-dense power plant with claimed efficiencies of up to 40%. Retrofitting a sCO2 turbine is comparatively easy. Is this an interim answer to green shipping?
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.

Keep up to date on the latest news, insights and innovations from across the maritime community. Our flagship title, The Naval Architect, covers everything from commercial shipping and small craft to defence and advanced design, while our yearly publication Significant Ships, showcases the most innovative and commercially important vessel designs of the prior year.
Stay connected with the global maritime community through RINA’s newsletters.
Whether you are a member or not, you can receive updates from The Naval Architect, alongside selected RINA news, events and industry insights. Members also gain access to a wider portfolio of exclusive newsletters on key topics in the maritime industry.
RINA has published technical papers and maritime research since 1860, creating an extensive record of developments across naval architecture and marine engineering.
Explore the Institution’s historic Transactions and the International Journal of Maritime Engineering (IJME), which continues this tradition by publishing peer-reviewed research and technical discussion from across the maritime sector.
Explore RINA’s collection of maritime knowledge, including historic magazines, journals and Transactions dating back to 1860, reviewed conference papers, and the catalogue of the Denny Library.
Our team is continuing to digitise and expand the archive, making more of the Institution’s technical content available on demand.
