Offshore & Marine Composites

(5 - 6 April 2000, Centre for Composite Materials Engineering, University of Newcastle, UK)

Aimed at the offshore and marine industries, both end users and suppliers, the conference brought designers, naval architects and fabricators up to date with the changing industrial climate and familiarized them with the composite technologies becoming available.
