Royal Institution of Naval Architects

The Royal Institution of Naval Architects (also known as RINA) is an international organisation representing naval architects. It is a British professional institution involved at all levels in the design, construction, repair and operation of ships, boats and marine structures.

History

The Royal Institution of Naval Architects was founded in Britain in 1860 as the Institute of Naval Architects and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1910 and 1960.

Founding members included Edward James Reed and Rev Joseph Woolley.

Present Role

The Royal Institution of Naval Architects is an international organisation with its headquarters in the UK, representing naval architects in all the maritime nations of the world. It is a professional institution and learned society of international standing, whose members are involved worldwide at all levels in the design, construction, repair and maintenance of ships, boats and maritime structures. Through its international membership, publications and conferences, the Royal Institution of Naval Architects provides a link between industry, universities and maritime organisations world-wide.

As a professional institution, its aim is to set standards of professional competence and conduct, and assist its members to both achieve and maintain those standards. Membership of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects provides a professional qualification which is internationally recognised as demonstrating the achievement of the highest standards of professional competence and integrity.

As a learned society, the Royal Institution of Naval Architects provides a forum for the exchange of information, views and discussion. Access to up-to-date technical information is essential to the professional development of naval architects, and the Royal Institution of Naval Architects provides this primarily through its range of technical journals, books and papers, and an extensive programme of international conferences and training courses covering all aspects of naval architecture and maritime technology.
