As part of our Thorne and Partners: Insights 2025 series, we are excited to explore the upcoming projects and collaborations that will shape the future of yacht design. In 2025, we will launch new initiatives, including partnerships with boatyards in Holland and developing innovative electric boats. These projects aim to push the boundaries of naval architecture and redefine efficiency in yacht design. #NavalArchitect | #NavalArchitecture | #YachtDesign

⚓ For more than 50 years, The Naval Architect has provided RINA members with in-depth information on all aspects of vessel design, construction and engineering. From 2025, the publication will incorporate RINA’s previous range of esteemed titles, including Ship & Boat International, Warship Technology and Shiprepair & Maintenance, combining these magazines’ strengths and editorial expertise to create a new, supercharged publication. The relaunched title will now offer a comprehensive overview of developments in naval architecture, covering everything from superyachts and short-hop ferries to tankers and heavy-lift vessels; battery pack installations and wind-assisted propulsion to LNG tank retrofits; and offshore safety to remote maintenance and warship resilience. Headed by Managing Editor Martin Conway (Ship & Boat International, Offshore Marine Technology, Significant Small Ships), and supported by Contributing Editors Clive Woodbridge (Shiprepair & Maintenance) and David Foxwell (Warship Technology), the mag will be driven by industry veterans with decades of experience in maritime publishing, assisted by input from RINA’s technical committees. The Naval Architect will go ‘beyond the press release’ to bring its readers high-quality, exclusive features, news and opinions on design innovation and the forces shaping naval architecture today.  📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/epsP7p5K #NavalArchitecture #ShipDesign #MarineEngineering #MaritimeInnovation #TheNavalArchitect

Norway stands at the forefront of addressing the challenge of achieving zero emissions in fast-moving planing vessels. With a robust supplier network for electric and hybrid power systems and profound battery expertise, coupled with a wealth of marine knowledge on innovative hull construction, Norway is well-equipped for sustainable maritime advancements. Designers and naval architects play a pivotal role in designing for drivetrain agnostic solutions, supporting the conversion of current EMO III vessels to hybrid or electric/hydrogen propulsion based on performance requirements and range capabilities. At Studio Ris, we specialize in designing vessels for the future, collaborating closely with naval architects, tech environments, and shipbuilders.

Naval architecture is the discipline of designing and constructing boats and ships. It integrates engineering principles with aesthetics to ensure vessels are stable, safe, and efficient. Key aspects include mechanics, hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, material strength, and structural design. Over time, it has evolved from ancient empirical methods to modern techniques utilizing advanced materials and computer-aided design (CAD) #MaritimeIndustry #Shipping #MarineTechnology #MaritimeInnovation #OceanTransportation #PortsAndTerminals #MarineEngineering #MaritimeLogistics #MaritimeTrade #NavalArchitecture #Seafarers #MaritimeSafety #Oceanography #MaritimeLaw #MarineEnvironment #MaritimeEducation #MaritimeHistory #Shipbuilding #PassionForTheSea

At NAPA, we’re still not over how special this year’s NAPA Design User Meeting was: Insightful discussions around ship design with the backdrop of beautiful Malaga were a recipe for success! Productive conversations and workshops highlighted four key pillars that will underpin the future of ship design that together lay the foundations for collaborative and efficient ship design. These are: 1️⃣ Extended 3D workflows to enable collaborative and concurrent design 2️⃣ Rising prominence of 3D approvals 3️⃣ Next-generation naval architecture and engineering tools to unlock a new level of productivity 4️⃣ Operational simulations to help inform critical design decisions Read our blog here to explore what exactly these pillars mean. https://lnkd.in/d--gGFJh #Maritime #ShipDesign #Shipping

Naval architecture and marine engineering are ever evolving, and this month’s issue of Marine News Magazine spotlights some of the latest trends from the perspectives of our CEO, Morgan Fanberg, PE, and leadership from Elliott Bay Design Group and Vard Marine Inc. Check out the article to hear how we are responding to everything from advances in digitalization and automation to new skill requirements for engineers and attracting talent in a niche industry. #marineindustry #industrytrends #navalarchitecture #marineengineering

New propulsion methods and changing lifestyle demands are transforming traditional yacht design in several significant ways.   A key issue is to bring in naval architects at the earliest stages to integrate sustainability goals seamlessly. Reducing emissions and transitioning to alternative fuels require a unique combination of engineering expertise and innovative design choices that break away from established norms. Early design decisions, such as hull form, engine placement, and fuel storage configurations, have a substantial impact on the yacht’s operational efficiency, stability, and carbon footprint. Decisions made during the conceptual phase can significantly shape the final product’s environmental impact.   What is your experience? #navalarchitecture #yachtdesign #reducedemissions #sustainability

[Call for contributions] Advanced Studies on Naval Architecture ISBN: 978-1-83768-749-7 ISSN: 3029-0287 Part of the Book Series "Civil Engineering" Series Editor: Assed Haddad Academic Editor: Tien Anh Tran Naval architecture and ocean engineering is the science of dealing comprehensively with the design and construction of ships, ocean structures, and movement in the sea. It is an applied science that requires knowledge of many fields of basic science. Naval architecture and ocean engineering is a science that realizes all scientific and technical issues required for developing, designing, and constructing vessels and ocean structures that make human life abundant from the perspective of engineering. At the same time, with the understanding of the dynamic ocean environment in a scientific way, it is also the field of creative and artistic science that comprises a huge engineering system. This book covers all crucial issues in the field of naval architecture and ocean engineering through the research results as well as the critical reviews to help ship designers, ship operators, and shipping transportation companies to promote and create novelty production in science and engineering.
