From the 17 on 19 October to Naples the conference NAV 2012 will make the point on the progresses in the field of naval engineering
Focus of this edition is the answer of the naval industry and the search of field to the international crisis
October 15, 2012

From the 17 on 19 October next ones to Naples the seventeenth edition of NAV will hold, the international conference dedicated to the studies and progresses in the field of the naval engineering that is organized from ATHENA (Italian Association of Naval Technology) this year with the University of the Studies of Naples Federico II and Parthenope and to Centro Materiali Compositi.

The event will on the issues articulate in ten technical sessions and two workshop of the energy saving and the management of ballast waters, to which a special symposium will come abreast on material applied composites to the field. The conference, to triennial cadence, reunites the representatives of the primary agencies of search and university of all the world and is the occasion in order to make the point of the situation on the last innovations and searches in naval engineering. .
"The scope of the conference - Bruno Della Loggia explains, chairman of the executive committee of NAV 2012 - is to promote a series of events, to feed the exchange in international within, in order to emphasize as the results of the research & development they can contribute to resolve the crisis that the naval shipbuilding industry, and in particular the European Union, is found to face. Wide it is recognized that only a greater attention to the innovation will be able to exceed the current critical moment. At the same time sussistono new requirement in relation to the protection of the environmental values and therefore, all the technologies to it associates, as the reduction of the pollution, the energy saving, better methods for the planning of hulls and propellers, political new of safety, demand new requirement to planners and constructors of ships and systems of edge".

Each edition of NAV is accommodated in a various city, that it is representative of the international naval shipbuilding industry. In fact last the two editions have held to Genoa (2006) and Messina (2009). For Naples draft of the third time, after 1976 and 1982: an important occasion for a region with a strong vocation of the naval shipbuilding industry, that it is crossing a serious crisis of field. A condition that above all weighs on some great companies, that could be projected in future own thanks to the adoption of meaningful innovations, than would allow it to exceed with success this phase of transition. That's why - ATHENA emphasizes - importance assumes detail the Symposium on Material Composites: "the material composites wide are used for military, commercial ships, sport - university professor of Federico II specifies Ignazio Crivelli Visconti (), chairman of the Symposium on Material Composites ? and their characteristics strongly are appreciated, above all the force, the rigidity, the fatigue strength, the duration and the chemical resistance. However, I use inadequate of such materials, that they employ carbon, glass, or other fibers from the elevated properties, can lead to an unsatisfactory final result. The new technologies, the planning and the adequate applications of material composites, to the aim to obtain the best one turned out possible for an innovative application and from the optimal results, will be therefore to the center of the argument of the Symposium with the most prestigious experts of the field".

The scientific committee of NAV, presided by Mario Maestro of the University of Trieste, has selected beyond 90 paper, on 200 reached candidacies, that they will be illustrated in the course of the three days of the manifestation. With to an important Italian presence, the participation of representatives and coming experts from Albania, Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Malta, Nigeria, Norway, Holland, United Kingdom, Rumania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey is previewed. The country host of this edition will be, instead, Greece, with its prestigious marine industry and its research centers.

Between the international hosts more important, also Jost Bergmann (DNV, Norway); Vadim Goncharov (Saint Petersburg It are Marine Technical University, Russia); Gyrd Mortensen (Novenco Marine&Offshore, Denmark); Noriuki Sasaki (National Maritime Research Institute - Tokyo, Japan); Chinedum Onyemechi (Federal University of Technology Owerri, Nigeria); Panayotis Yannoulis (Oceanking Technical & Trading S.A., Greece).

The executive committee of NAV 2012 is composed of: Bruno Della Loggia (ATHENA National, chairman); Roberto Balestrieri (Athena Naples South Italy); Ignazio Crivelli Visconti (University of Naples Federico II - chairman AMME); Umberto D'Amato (Perseverance Spa Naples); Eugenio Guglielmino (University of Messina); Umberto Masucci (Federagenti); Salvatore Miranda (University of Naples Federico II); Enrico Rizzuto (University of Genoa); Raffaele Santamaria (University of Naples Parthenope).
