ENABLING TECHNOLOGY AND THE NAVAL ARCHITECT 1860-2010

Abstract

I have a brief comment to contribute: “This is a thorough review of the technical changes over the last 150 years in the Marine Sector. Even more interesting the author has linked these with the changing market and business drivers over that period. It also illustrates how the aggregation of all the individual changes represent several revolutions in the sector. Can I ask the author to now wind the story forwards and give his view of the future and what the marriage of “Technology Push” and “Market Pull” is likely to hold in store for the next 150 years. However disconcerting it might seem - the rate of change will not stop – the opportunities are legion”.
