Events Special Issue - 22 November 2006
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF VESSELS OPERATING IN LOW TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTS
30 - 31 May 2007
London, UK
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline extended 11 December 2006
First announcement and call for papers

Vast reserves of oil and gas are expected to be exploited in the Russian Arctic, including the Barents Sea, the Pechora Sea and Kara Sea. There are also new gas fields being developed on the Yamal Peninsula. There is a need for large tankers, LNG carriers and associated support vessels to transport the oil and gas and maintain operations in these far northern locations. Increasing numbers of passenger ships are also operating in low temperature environments.
Vessels operating in the Arctic regions are exposed to a number of unique demands. The pressure of first year and multi year ice imposes additional loads on the hull, propulsion systems and appendages. New designs have evolved such as the Double-acting principle. The extreme environmental conditions can also have significant effects on vessel systems and machinery.
Low temperatures and poor visibility can have profound effects on the crew and vessel operations. Current operational experience in the Arctic is limited to much smaller vessels than those that are envisaged. There is great probability that new owners and operators without operational experience in these harsh conditions will enter the market. This will impose a need for guidance for these owners and operators, as well as shipyards building vessels for cold weather service.
RINA invites papers on the following related topics:
- Materials, Welds and Coatings
- Hull Design, Construction and Equipment
- Vessel Systems and Machinery
- Safety Systems
- Specific Vessel Requirements
- Crew Considerations / Human Factors
- Vessel Operations
- Cargo Operations
- Classification

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FLOATING PRODUCTION UNITS
3 April 2007
Suntec, Singapore
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline extended 22 December 2006
Since their introduction in the mid 70's floating production units have proved themselves as cost effective viable technical solutions for many remote, deepwater and marginal offshore field developments. There are over 150 such units currently operating around the world. Over 60% of these FPU's have been based on mono-hulls, mainly converted trading vessels but increasing purpose-built hulls particularly for the larger fields with longer service life requirements. However, a diverse range of technical solutions including semi-submersible, Tension Leg Platforms (TLP) and spars buoys have been deployed as FPU's.
With the current high oil and gas prices and strong worldwide demand for energy, many more offshore fields are now becoming viable for development, and many will utilise or require FPU's. It has been forecasted that by 2008, world offshore oil production will increase by 43% and offshore gas production by a staggering 83%. The conference will provide an ideal opportunity for designers, builders and project engineers to learn about the latest projects and technical developments, and to exchange experience in this key offshore development technology.
Papers are invited on all related topics including the following areas:
- Experience on specific design & construction projects.
- Structural integrity and reliability
- Project management and integration
- Key components (swivels, bearing, riser & offloading system)
- Passive & active mooring systems
- Safety & risk evaluation

Advances in structural modelling have allowed regulators to move away from the traditional deterministic approaches that were based on empirical formulae derived from experience. Modern methods allow for a more predictive approach and mark a significant step in the evolution of ship design. The notion of goal-based ship construction standards was introduced to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2002. These standards are to give the IMO a greater role in determining the standard to which ships are built. The job of ensuring that ships meet these standards will still lie largely with the classification societies. The IMO is scheduled to introduce goal-based standards by 2010.
In response to industry requests, and with these new developments at the IMO in mind, The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) has developed common structural rules (CSR) for Bulk Carriers and Tankers. These were implemented on 1 April 2006.
The concept of risk based design has been made possible by the advances in numerical modelling. This concept can be used to determine the most efficient means by which to reduce risk. This technique was used in the formulation of the Common Structural Rules.
This conference will bring together classification societies, regulators, naval architects, shipbuilders and operators to discuss the impact of these new concepts and regulatory changes.
Papers will cover all related topics including the following:
- The effect on ship design
- The role of IMO, Flag States and Class Societies
- The impact of the Common Structural Rules
- Consequences for industry
- Future directions for development
