This year COMPIT seduced 99 participants from 18 countries to travel to its venue in Eastern Germany, a hamlet called Ulrichshusen, to hear about the latest developments in maritime IT and design. An evergreen on conferences on Computer-Aided Ship Design is shape modelling. Last year even the COMPIT award was given for a paper on this subject. However, this year it is scarcely addressed; Bastiaan Veelo, from SARC, took a side step on an experiment by using advanced hull form modelling methods for propeller design, and concluded that this approach offers a potential advantage over the prevailing (i.e. NURBS-based) method.
