Editor's Note
The annual parade of Great Ships in our December edition includes a roster of unique vessels, from the record-setting heavy lift ships Black Marlin and Blue Marlin, to Vasco da Gama, the world’s largest trailing suction hopper dredger. And while these ships — plus the Marine Innovations feature starting on page 38 — help to highlight the industry’s many triumphs over the past 12 months, there are a full-plate of technical and non-technical issues, which will keep the marine industry challenged for many years to come. The complex matter of ship casualties — the causes, environmental ramifications and potential solutions — is now a top-agenda item of many organizations both inside and out of the marine world.
