Today, the international maritime industry faces new challenges as it emerges from the global financial crisis. It is therefore understandable that the industry's priority and attention is on consolidation and continued survival. However, at such a time it is all the more important for the industry to look ahead in order to respond to the continuing challenges it will face from the increasing demands of operators, regulators and society for greater efficiency, safety and the protection of the environment, as it emerges from the current crisis. This response will require innovative thinking from all sectors of the maritime industry, and particularly those involved in ship design and construction.
