ICSOT India: Technological Innovations in Shipbuilding
12-13 December 2013, Kharagpur, India
Organised by
The Royal Institution of Naval Architects
and
Department of Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture, IIT Kharagpur
Overview
The global maritime industry faces many challenges as it seeks to recover from the financial crisis which has affected all sectors of the industry, whilst at the same time, responding to the continuing demands of operators, regulators and society for greater efficiency, safety and the protection of the environment.. This response will require innovative thinking from all sectors of the maritime industry, and particularly those involved in ship design and construction.
The third International Conference on Ship & Offshore Technology - India 2013 will take "Technological Innovation in Shipbuilding" as its theme, and will bring together members of the international maritime industry to present and discuss the latest developments in the ship design and construction process which will provide the improvements in productivity and cost-competitiveness necessary to respond to the demand for lower cost of ownership and greater environmental sensitivity.
Conference Venue
The ICSOT-India 2013 will take place at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India, http://www.iitkgp.ac.in/
About IIT Kharagpur
Kharagpur is the fifth largest city of West Bengal. It was chosen as the location for the first campus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). The IITs are the premier technical education institutes in India and are internationally recognised for their academic and technical excellence. IIT Kharagpur started in the old Hijli Detention Camp where some of India's great freedom fighters toiled and sacrificed their lives for Indian independence. The history of IIT Kharagpur is intimately linked with the history of the Hijli Detention Camp. This is possibly one of the very few Institutions anywhere in the world which started life in a prison house.
About Department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture
The Department of Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture established in 1952. During the nearly 60 years of its existence, the Department has made significant contributions to the development of shipbuilding and shipping industries in the country including the Indian Navy, Indian Coastal Guard, DRDO and other allied organisations.
