Maritime Project Management
24 February 2016, London
Marine vessels and structures are generally large technically complex, costly and traditionally low production volume items. A successful project requires the effective management of many different stakeholders; designers, fabricators, equipment manufacturers and regulatory bodies. Such projects are increasingly involving the management of multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams in different locations around the world.
This conference aims to highlight the key elements in successful maritime project management, and to identify best practice and share experience that will help to deliver a benefit to the industry.
RINA invites papers from, project managers, operators, researchers, designers, builders and class societies on all related topics, including:
- Resources, processes and tools
- The use of computer aided planning tools
- Performance measurement & monitoring
- Managing change
- Systems engineering approach
- Best practise and case studies
- Intellectual property and copyright
- Managing the digital assets & legacy
- Education & training
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit their paper for publication in the International Journal of Maritime Engineering.
