Wind Propulsion
As the maritime sector moves towards net zero, wind propulsion has returned to the spotlight as a key driver of change. By using the power of wind to cut fuel use and emissions, it plays an essential role in the industry’s decarbonisation journey. RINA’s Wind Propulsion events bring together designers, engineers, and innovators who are rethinking how ships move - from wind-assisted systems to fully wind-powered vessels - showcasing practical solutions that are helping shape a cleaner, more sustainable future for shipping.
Warship
In a world of growing geopolitical uncertainty, warship design and resilience have become more critical than ever. Modern naval fleets face increasingly complex operational environments, demanding advances in survivability, adaptability, and technological integration. RINA’s Warship conferences, held in both the UK and Australia, provide a vital forum for defence experts, naval architects, and engineers to share knowledge, present breakthroughs, and explore how innovation can keep fleets capable and ready for the future.
“As one of our main events, the RINA Warship Conference is a fantastic gathering of defence industry professionals, with naval architecture at the heart of the discussion and a showcase of ideas not just regionally but globally. Warship 2025 was a great experience, with thriving conversations around every element of the ship from keel to mast and stem to stern. Someone even thought outside the box and brought planes into our ship-shaped conversation.”
Chris McNair MEng AMRINA, Naval Architect at Babcock International, RINA Developing Careers Committee, Chair RINA Scottish Branch Chair

"The Wind Propulsion conference showcased a positive shift in our industry’s understanding of critical performance variables, such as sail interference, dynamic behavior, and precise wind measurements. Our sponsorship this year was not just valuable but also an opportunity to strengthen our connections within the industry. Attendees showed increased engagement and interest in our installations, timelines, and upcoming projects."
