CSI 2013 - For ALL Professional RIB & HSC Operators

The CSI 2013 conference will cover a wide range of new solutions that are becoming available for the professional operator. A challenge faced by the professional sector is integrating many disparate areas that are required to deliver enhanced performance and safety at sea. The overall objective is to deliver an up to date overview of effective operational capability.

CSI 2013 - Naval Architects, Designers & Boat Builders

CSI 2013 looks at next generation craft / systems requirements and the new design standards that will be required to develop and support them. This is an opportunity for naval architects, designers and boat builders to see how they can incorporate a ‘holistic’ approach.

CSI 2013 - Human Systems Integration

HSI is a recognised requirement for many maritime organisations. The CSI 2013 conference will cover the full range of factors that can potentially improve marine operations. Topics include ‘Crew – Craft – Training’ and the interface between them.

CSI 2013 - Manned & Unmanned Operations

To complete the integration picture the conference will also present the latest understanding of Whole Body Vibration (WBV), Repeated Shock (RS) and the increasing demands for protecting personnel with the use of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV).

CSI 2013 - Independent Event with Industry Supporters

CSI 2013 is an independent event that is relevant to all professional operators, boat builders, equipment manufacturers and designers. In addition to networking with their peers, attendees from end-user organisations will learn from industry participants showing state of the art solutions and the latest developments in technology.
