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.
When the global maritime industry gathers at SMM in Hamburg from September 1st to 4th, PALFINGER will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of deck equipment, lifesaving appliances, and service solutions designed to support safe, efficient, and reliable operations at sea.
Seawork brings maritime expertise and careers focus to Southampton. The annual event combines international exhibitors with strong Solent connections.
David Foote, Maritime Diversity Award winner, shares how neurodiversity strengthens innovation, safety and long-term talent in shipbuilding, while calling for more inclusive recruitment and support.
