China: ship repair's hotspot
A surge in vessel building in the first 10 years of this century means that vessels are now approaching their third, fourth or fifth surveys, and they must meet evolving decarbonisation regulations to remain viable
The naval architect
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.
