Maritime Innovation Committee NEWS FROM THE COMMITTEES
T
he Maritime Innovation Committee is tasked by the RINA Council to make the collective technical expertise of the Institution available for the benefit of the profession
and society by contributing to the development and use of innovative technology in the maritime industry. Te Committee has identified a number of key disruptive technologies that it believes will have a significant impact on the maritime industry now and in the future. Te committee is now looking into the following aspects in
more detail with a view to holding an online workshop later in the year on these topics. • 3D printing to support construction, repair, and in-service. • Modelling and simulation to improve efficiency and effectiveness of marine vehicles (including use of AI for optimisation).
• Concept Design Process. • Digital shipyard. • Advanced (digital) manufacturing - Industrial Revolution 4.0. • Digital Twin – use of data acquisition and analysis from
the ship /platform to maximise efficiency of operations and effectiveness of future designs.
• Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR & AR) in design, training, and operational contexts.
• Power system technologies to reduce use of fossil fuels and reduce emissions.
• Greater automation, progressing to fully autonomous / unmanned systems to remove people from harm’s way. • Novel inspection techniques.
