Overview

Reflecting many of the changes which have recently taken place in the areas of ship design, building and operation, this book contains most of the papers presented at the Fifth International Conference on Marine Technology. Developments in the following areas are highlighted: design and fabrication in shipbuilding; shipbuilding and design; hydrodynamics; navigation, ship operation and multimode transport; inland water transportation; and reliability and safety in marine technology.
