The ShipTech Forum is an annual gathering of the top industry leaders and people in the naval and maritime industries to discuss trending and emerging technologies, as well as, solutions to common issues being faced. This one-day discussion has been a catalyst ever since for industry shakers to talk about innovations that could eventually fuel positive changes in this space. To further this cause, we have invited industry leaders to serve as part of our keynote roster. 

Vanguard is excited to announce that Senior Naval Architect Ravi Kumar will deliver a keynote address about the latest trends and technology at ShipTech Forum 2020.  

Ravi has over 30 years of experience in the marine industry with a focus on ships and offshore platform structural analysis using finite element methods. He offers technical support to public and commercial clients ranging from performing strength assessment of the different types of ships including the Arctic Ships, as well as, conducting studies of in-service structural problems, failure, and unsatisfactory conditions. He has also had significant involvement in the review of Design Standards for the purposes of interpretation during analysis or for technical input during the revision process. He has performed numerous projects for Canadian and international clients resulting in the successful life extension of various vessels. 

Ravi is also responsible for delivering and growing Lloyd’s Register’s consultancy-based Ship Inspection and Assessment Services business in the Americas.
