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.
The USV launch and recovery 'missing link'
Sealartec's ALR-S converts a standard ramp at the stern of a vessel into a fully autonomous recovery system
Sealartec's radical ALR-S technology can convert a conventional ship's stern ramp to a fully autonomous recovery system for unmanned surface vessels
'ROC + Dock' project darts towards the wrap-up phase
The prototype docking station, deployed on the River Dart in September, enables docking and recharging of South Devon College's 'USV Dart' without manual intervention
The UK-based ROC + DOCK project has brought together remote-controlled operations, a dual-function simulator and a ‘hands-off’ docking station, to encourage force multiplication of uncrewed vessels in ports and harbours
Hybrid CSOV 'Windea Clausius' joins Bernhard Schulte Offshore fleet
The 89.6m 'Windea Clausius' was "built to operate in strong currents and is less limited by weather conditions", Ulstein says
The latest addition to Bernhard Schulte Offshore’s CSOV fleet, Windea Clausius, combines a methanol-ready hybrid propulsion plant with Ulstein’s Twin X-STERN design for energy efficiency and ease of operations
Wind power for patrol boats? Ask the New Generation
The PAMNG is a 53.7m-long boat powered by a diesel-electric hybrid system and a Wisamo wingsail
We've seen wingsails applied to bulkers and tankers - but aboard a smaller patrol boat? The latest design from MAURIC, set for launch in 2027, could open up an entirely new market for wind-assisted propulsion systems
