Description
Returning for the fourth time in 6 years, Naval Construction Repair & Refit is a great opportunity for serving naval officers, architects, engineers and industry leaders internationally, to discuss the latest methodologies, innovations, technologies and techniques in fleet management and readiness. Given the dual pressures of current operational commitments and declining defence budgets, navies’ globally are under increased pressure to deliver the same or better capabilities with less resources. Therefore, ensuring cost and time savings through more efficient methods and technologies has taken on a renewed importance. This conference will thus give stakeholders the information they need to deliver to these increasingly difficult requirements through project case studies, insights in the latest technologies available and sharing best practices.
Key topics to be covered in this year’s conference include:
• Enhanced affordability throughout naval vessel deign, construction, repair and refit
• More effective / early use of CAD and other graphics tools in vessel design
• Fleet sustainability and better management of through-life costs
• Latest construction techniques including modularity to reduce build time / costs
• Environmental regulations, meeting these and the implications with down-stream / through-life costs
• The use of more efficient technologies including electric propulsion, dual fuels and composite materials in repairs
• Better project management between the Navy and industry in ship support – Class Management
