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.

Transactions
Safe and effective anchoring remains a fundamental aspect of small-vessel operation, with anchor cable loads strongly influenced by environmental conditions and anchoring configuration. Improved understanding of the relationship between scope ratio, water depth, and wind loading is supporting more informed anchoring practices, helping vessel operators optimise holding performance, reduce anchor loads, and enhance safety during stationary operations.
