Hosted at the RAI Amsterdam from June 16–18, 2026, the expanded event unites the former Electric & Hybrid Marine and Autonomous Ship events into one single, integrated technical environment

BMT’s new Digital Innovation & Simulation Centre (DISC) aims to reshape how naval architects design, test and validate vessels. In this exclusive interview, discover how it uses immersive simulation to de-risk decision-making

Cyberattackers are streamlining tactics and adopting new technologies to expand their capabilities. Pole Star Defense talks to RINA exclusively on why embedding cyber resilience into warship design from the outset is critical

In light of growing maritime autonomy across the defence sector, RINA questions AI developer MarineAI on how autonomous systems can complement warship capability and streamline decision-making, rather than replace the process

RINA is delighted to introduce two new tiers for those with expertise outside of our core of naval architecture and maritime engineering. The new tiers recognise the indisputable value of associated disciplines to maritime innovation and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration.

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

AI is emerging as a legitimate tool for predictive maintenance, analysing component wear and tear symptoms for improved maintenance downtime costs

The latest survey shows significant deficiencies in ballast water systems technology. Can land-based facilities help bridge gap between rules and reality?

Full slots in a building boom for shipyards has seen concerns over unfamiliar wind power, added to vessel designs, with yards refusing to build to non-standard plans, rejecting orders. Two owners describe how they have managed to persuade yards otherwise

Advances in battery technology make it possible for short-sea ships and feeder vessels to electrify. That simultaneously offers the possibility to cut costs and emissions and improve vessel efficiency

Savings of more than 50% on fleet-wide emissions can be achieved using cheap modifications on ships. Compared to the cost of building new LNG powered vessels, there is no contest. And the cuts to carbon emissions are twice as high

RINA’s Wind Propulsion 2026 conference brought together industry leaders to examine how wind-assisted propulsion is moving from concept to fleet-level implementation
