The Royal Institution of Naval Architects Design & Operation of


Ferries & Ro-Pax Vessels 25-26 May 2016, London, UK


Registration Open


The last 10 years have seen a steady continued growth in the passenger ferry and Ro-Pax market, with particularly strong growth in passenger numbers. Despite the recent freight market downturn there is political pressure, particularly in Europe, to move more road traffic to intermodal maritime based logistics chain the so called “motorways of the sea” but these vessels are often still competing with fixed links (tunnels & bridges) and the budget airlines.


This conference seeks to investigate the curret trends in the design and operation of Passenger ferries and Ro-Pax vessels. Especially as designers have to cope with varying mixes of freight and passenger cars, depending upon the route and season.

Call for Papers


The work of naval architects and marine engineers directly influence the operability and safety of the vessel and the seafarer. Decisions made at the design stage can influence human behaviour and health. And an improved understanding of ergonomics by engineers can ‘design out’ hazards and prevent incidents, both to the individual and the vessel.


With ever more complex systems and technology, greater improvements in safety can be achieved through a better understanding of human/system dynamics. A greater awareness of the role played by management structures, culture, procedures and regulation in safe and effective operation is also important to the effective running of the vessel and wellbeing of the crew.
