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.
Regulating maritime autonomy demands governance that can keep pace with technological change. Examining emerging frameworks for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships, this paper highlights the need for collaboration between industry and regulators. The proposed MARS Centre offers a novel model to bridge expertise gaps, support adaptive regulation and enable innovation safely.
Remote piloting technologies are reshaping maritime navigation, enabling pilots to monitor vessels from shore-based control centres. By eliminating physical pilot transfers, the approach enhances safety, reduces operational costs, cuts fuel consumption and emissions, and improves efficiency. The initiative highlights how digital innovation can deliver safer, smarter and more sustainable shipping
