The First International Conferences on Light Weight Marine Structures will be held September 7-8, 2009 in Glasgow, UK. Designers, manufacturers, marine scientists, regulatory authorities, and researchers will all gather to discuss technological advancements and implementations to increase the use of light weight design in marine structures such as ships, high speed vessels, and offshore structures. Project managers, classification societies, structural consultancies, ship owners and operators, and academics are also invited to attend.
