Conference: building the ships of the future

Don’t miss this two-day Conference at TKMS AG & Co. in Kiel, Germany: ‘Building the ships of the future: circular materials, lightweight design and sustainable shipyard processes’. Get the insights and stay informed, because the maritime industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by climate goals, scarcity of resources, and technological innovation.

This conference brings together experts from research institutions, shipyards and suppliers, classification societies and policy makers to explore how advanced materials and sustainable shipyard processes will shape the next generation of ships and impact the shipbuilding industry.

Topics will include:

• Circular and recyclable materials in ship design
• Lightweight design in maritime applications
• Lifecycle assessment of materials used in shipbuilding
• How to assess and improve sustainability of shipyard processes
• Approaches to lightweight design and material circularity in maritime and other sectors

Among other things, there will be presentations about the Ship Circular Material Passport and Ship Lifecycle Passport (CirclesOfLife) and How lightweight construction has developed in other industries and what lessons could be learned for maritime (Maik Gude, Techn. University of Dresden).
