A new site about Naval Architecture

A new website about Naval Architecture


In the February issue of the Spanish journal Ingeniería Naval (Naval Architecture) they report the creation of a new website entitled "Revista del Sector Marítimo. Ingeniería Naval" (Journal of the Maritime Sector. Naval Architecture), whose stated aims are to "... encourage news update daily and flexibly, enabling readers to easily find news of interest through tags that allow you to select all news related to a topic."


This website is in this URL "Ingeniería Naval"

The journal editorial keeps saying they have tried that the new website be accessible from the largest possible number of devices in addition to PCs, such as tablets, already in operation, and smartphones, which will be soon.

Index of sections of the website is this
  • Home
  • Information
  • Maritime news
  • Maritime energies
  • Magazines
  • Subscription
  • Reports
  • Ships
  • Applications
  • Sitemap
The preceeding items are subdivided, in some cases, into lower levels and in particular, subscribers have access to the full contents of the journal "Ingeniería Naval" (Naval Architecture), on all its numbers since 2004 when the digital version was created, that is also handed over annually on a CD.

The inclusion of RSS allows you to add news to feeds readers and share them on social networks like Facebook and Twitter and to connect to the video channel of Naval Architects at Youtube.

I think that this site is very well presented with large and handy information and although it is currently a complement to "Ingeniería Naval" paper magazine edition, I think, is my opinion, that it will not be long until they retire the latter from the market, because, contrary to the opinion of some friends of mine, I think that although currently books and publications coexist in digital and paper formats, the very next generations will know the latter only in museums.

My congratulations to the AINE President, José Esteban Pérez Garcia and to the Journal Director, Belén García de Pablos, together with all their team, for the creation and promotion of this new publishing media, which I hope will help to reactivate the decayed shipbuilding situation in our country.
