Marine architects are professionals who design and plan ships, boats, and other marine vessels. They focus on creating safe, efficient, and functional designs that meet specific needs, such as cargo transport or recreational use. Their work involves understanding engineering principles, materials, and environmental factors that affect marine structures. In addition to designing vessels, marine architects also collaborate with engineers, builders, and regulatory agencies to ensure that their designs comply with safety and environmental standards. They may work on various projects, including yachts, cargo ships, and offshore platforms, contributing to advancements in marine technology and sustainability.
