TECHNICAL PROGRAMME
       
   
The WMTC technical programme focused on technical excellence and innovation in marine engineering, science and technology. The programme, generated by a Call for Papers was made up of over 230 papers. The conference theme maritime innovation – delivering global solutions encouraged interaction between the maritime communities and developed integrated solutions to industry wide issues whilst assessing the impact on global economies. All areas of the Institute’s scope were covered; several of the streams were made up by existing and well-known events combining resources for this major world maritime occasion, whilst other conference streams explored areas covered by the Institute’s recently widened remit. All parallel technical sessions started and finished at the same time, enabling attendees to pick and choose from familiar and not so familiar technical subjects.
