For more than half a century, The Royal Institution of Naval Architects’ principal publication, The Naval Architect, has been covering the latest advances in ship design, construction and technologies, providing independent technical information and insight on commercial shipping’s ongoing evolution.
Focusing on large (100m plus) merchant ships, we feature a range of angles and opinions including expert comments from industry professionals, case studies, cutting-edge research and reports on recent conferences.
Our key areas include: in-depth analysis of different ship types such as cruise and passenger ships, bulkers, containerships, coastal vessels and LNG/ LPG carriers; country specific reports; news on ship safety, propulsion, environmental and energy efficiency, technology, CAD/CAM, shipbuilding technology and regulations.
Also now available for download is our Offshore Wind Vessels 2024 supplement, sponsored by the Japan External Trade Organisation.
