SUMMARY:KNVTS lecture:  Lithium batteries – Thermal runaway: what now?
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, this lecture will be in Dutch. \nDetectie en actie is vereist wanneer het echt fout gaat bij een Lithium brand. Tijdens de lezing wordt aandacht besteed aan de effecten en gevolgen bij een Lithium batterijbrand en de bestrijding ervan. Voorkomen is uiteraard altijd beter dan bestrijden. Maar wat is de impact als het echt fout gaat? \nFifi4Marine is gespecialiseerd in het blussen van Lithium batterijbranden met een automatisch blussysteem. Middels detectie en zonder handmatige interventie vindt een zeer snelle brandbestrijding plaats. Hierdoor blijft het schip beschermd met minimale schade en zonder verstoring van de vaarroutes of havendiensten.

SUMMARY:Offshore industry
DESCRIPTION:The premier networking event and conference on the future of offshore wind. Explore grid solutions\, Europe’s global market positiona\, and scaling up offshore wind and its supply chain—shaping a resilient\, innovative offshore industry for 2030 and beyond. \nScaling and speeding up are more important than ever in the current European economy. Scaling up offshore wind\, with bigger farms and perhaps bigger turbines. Speeding up development\, the industry’s transition for offtake\, and readying the sector’s maritime supply chains. \nThe businesscase is becoming more and more marginal. Advantages from scale are necessary to keep assets standing and projects afloat. Cost-efficiencies\, stable contracts\, de-risking investment and capital costs\, all while also making offshore wind more sustainable in development. Where can the sectors work and win together on these issues? \nAre you ready to help shape the future of Europe’s offshore sector? Be part of the solution by joining the discussion at Offshore Industry! Let’s build the blue powerhouse of Europe together.

SUMMARY:KNVTS lecture: Beyond luxury – How the superyacht industry is driving maritime innovation
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally regarded as the ultimate symbols of prestige and indulgence\, superyachts are now evolving into powerful test-beds for innovation. Far beyond luxury\, they are driving the adoption of technologies and practices that can influence the entire maritime industry. \nIn this joint session\, organized by KNVTS in collaboration with KIVI and NMT\, we will explore how the superyacht sector is pioneering solutions that align luxury with responsibility. From zero-emission propulsion and circular materials\, to AI-driven onboard systems and wellbeing-focused design philosophies\, superyachts are redefining what it means to innovate at sea. \nThis transformation is not only about meeting environmental and technological challenges—it’s about responding to the expectations of new generations who demand authenticity\, impact\, and purpose. Superyachts are uniquely positioned to become the innovation lighthouse of the marine world\, showcasing what is possible when ambition meets responsibility. \nWhat to expect from the session: \n\nHow cutting-edge solutions developed for superyachts cascade into wider maritime applications.\nDesign approaches that balance sustainability\, performance\, and lifestyle.\nA discussion on how the superyacht industry can shape global expectations of maritime innovation.\n\nJoin us at METSTRADE 2025 for this forward-looking session and discover how superyachts are setting the course for the future of sustainable and purposeful innovation in the maritime sector. \nSpeakers: Giedo Loeff\, Head of Innovation & Strategy at Feadship–Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw; Alewijnse – speaker to be announced

SUMMARY:KNVTS lecture: Submarine construction in the Netherlands – Challenges for the Navy and industry
DESCRIPTION:A new weapon emerged after 1900: the submarine\, made possible by the combination of an entirely new power source\, the diesel engine\, an already somewhat older technology\, electricity in the form of batteries and electric motor\, and finally a hull whose steel now had to withstand no small water pressure. \nThis lecture will examine some of the technical aspects required to successfully take submarines to sea. It will cover the Dutch submarine family tree both before and after the second worldwar. Technological developments in materials\, calculation methods\, and practical testing have proven indispensable for the development of submarines. \nThe courage of designers and navies to apply new technologies has proven to be essential in this regard. The Dutch designers\, industry and the Royal Netherlands Navy\, supported by knowledge institutes\, have certainly made their mark. \nSpeakers: Douwe Stapersma (professor emeritus TU-Delft en NLDA) and Ronald Dingemanse (RH Marine)

SUMMARY:17th Mannheim Conference on Inland Navigation Law
DESCRIPTION:From 9-10 October 2025 the 17th Mannheim Conference on Inland Navigation Law will take place in Strasbourg\, France. \nThe very 1st Mannheim Conference on Inland Navigation Law took\nplace on June 11-12\, 1975 in the Rosengarten in Mannheim. The idea of dealing with current problems of inland navigation law at conferences arose from the previously unsuccessful attempt to found an institute for inland navigation law\, which was not realized until 1996. \nThe response to the first conference was remarkable. The great success encouraged a continuation. In the meantime\, the conferences on current developments and problems of inland navigation law\, which are held every three years\, have become a permanent institution. \nThis year marks a significant milestone in the conference’s history. For the first time\, the Mannheim Conference will be held in English\, broadening its reach to a wider international audience. Hosted in Strasbourg\, this special edition is made possible through the collaboration of the University of Mannheim\, the CCNR\, GBM and IVR. \nBy expanding its linguistic and geographical scope\, the Mannheim Conference reaffirms its commitment to advancing the field of inland navigation law and facilitating global dialogue among key stakeholders.
