Full Speed Ahead: Firing on All Cylinders. After
two decades of darkness commencing in the
1990's, we started to see the rebuild of the Ca-
nadian marine technical community in 2012. In
the last seven years, we have rapidly grown, with
many coming from outside traditional maritime
backgrounds. Welcoming and assisting new
people to the marine sector is a goal of SNAME.
In addition to those who have Navy or Coast
Guard backgrounds, we have had the privilege of
technicians, technologist and engineers working
hand-in-hand. I believe in Canada we have a need
and opportunity to increase our productivity by
more fully leveraging the skills and experience of
technologists in our day-to-day work.
