With the INEC/iSCSS conference just weeks away, we look at the forces reshaping naval engineering and ship control systems – from autonomy, AI and cybersecurity to energy transition, resilience and the changing role of the crew.
A structured framework that integrates safety-informed operational decisions into real-world energy optimisation could bridge the gap between theoretical models and practical engineering constraints
Michele Martelli, Associate Professor of Marine Propulsion Plant and Auxiliary Systems at University of Genoa, and recently appointed IMarEST Fellow, discusses how emerging professionals can prepare for an increasingly digitalised world
