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.
BEYOND CARBON INTENSITY: ENHANCING GHG REDUCTIONS THROUGH EFFECTIVE ENERGY EFFICIECNY METRIC AND REGULATORY ALIGNMENT
CII
The effectiveness of maritime emissions regulation is increasingly under scrutiny. Analysis of Carbon Intensity Indicator performance reveals opportunities for energy-based alternatives, including propulsion-focused efficiency metrics and clearer emissions accounting. The findings highlight potential regulatory overlap, offering strategic insights into how future frameworks could better accelerate greenhouse gas reductions ahead globally.

Years of extensive testing are paying off for Slovenia’s EJET, which is soon to expand its all-electric jet tender business with a larger, more powerful model
MARITIME AUTONOMY - A VISION OR REALITY
Warship
Autonomous maritime systems may reduce risk to personnel, but claims of improved safety require stronger evidence. By applying inherent safety, fault tolerance and layered protection principles within dynamic safety cases, evolving approaches are reshaping system design, governance and assurance while addressing complex legal, operational and stakeholder challenges in autonomy.
A GLOBAL VIEW OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF WAVE CLIMATE EXTREMES ON SUSTAINABLE SHIP DESIGN AND OPERABILITY: A REVIEW
Warship
Climate change is challenging long-held assumptions in vessel design and operability. Emerging evidence on extreme waves, cyclones and shifting ocean conditions highlights growing risks to stability, structural integrity and efficiency. By aligning future climate projections with design criteria, new recommendations aim to strengthen resilience, safety and operational performance.
