Design and Construction of Super & Mega Yachts

Conference Overview
The Royal Institution of Naval Architects will be returning to Genoa, to host the International
Conference on Super & Mega Yachts for a third edition.
Whilst we do not expect the rapid growth that the luxury yacht sector has encountered in the last decade, there is no question that the super yacht fleet will continue to grow. Even if the need for a bigger yacht seemed to have reached its peak, the complexity of the designs and the new requirements involved in custom production require innovative solutions.
