Marine Design 2020 will return to provide a forum for reporting and discussing Marine Design practice and technical innovation, including Human Systems Integration. Marine Design is a holistic design process with a strong focus on the end users as well as stakeholders in the design process, based on the principles of Industrial Design. Effective Marine Design requires a multidisciplinary design team of Naval Architects, Industrial Designers, Human Factors specialists, Environmental Psychologists and Interior Designers. The start of the Marine Design process involves understanding the personas and needs of the end user. The aim of Marine Design is to improve the aesthetics, human factors and functionality of a vessel or system, and its' marketability. Human Systems Integration provides a through-life, integrative framework with the potential both to enhance safety and increase performance while reducing through life costs.
Although the conference will have a focus on the superyacht, cruise and offshore sectors (offshore wind), it is recognized that cross-sectorial innovation is critical to the development of Design-Driven Innovation as a process. Therefore, the conference will explore innovative approaches from across all marine design sectors, including the dialectic between luxury design in the superyacht and cruise sectors, and the utilitarian design approach of both the offshore sector and conventional marine transport system design, while reflecting upon the needs of the end user. This will include themes around the concept of sustainable luxury, and the Transfer of Innovation (TOI) from the superyacht sector to the mainstream, to support the expanding needs of water based public transport, as well as the recruitment challenges of the offshore wind farm industry. Such challenges represent an opportunity for Marine Design to enhance the design meaning, user experience and provide innovative solutions, resulting in competitive advantage through product differentiation.
