The twentieth edition of our annual Significant Ships series, Significant Ships
of 2009, will be published in February 2010. As in previous editions we shall
be including up to 50 of the most innovative and interesting commercial ship
designs (of mostly 100m length and above) which will be delivered during the
forthcoming year.
The Editor invites shipbuilders, designers and owners to submit details of vessels
for possible inclusion in Significant Ships of 2009. Presentation will follow on
the established two-page format, with a colour photograph, descriptive text and
tabular details (including major equipment suppliers) on the first page, followed
by a full page of technical general arrangement plans. Initial potential entries
should comprise a short technical description (100 words) of the proposed vessel
highlighting the special features and the delivery date.
