A lthough the title and format may have changed slightly, this is the third
'small' ship annual review to follow in the footsteps of the highly successful
Significant Ships. The argument as to whether vessels of 100m can possibly be
called small may continue, but equally, can a 20m craft be called a ship.
Theoreticians can think what they like, Significant Small Ships adheres to the
same philosophy as Ship & Boat International, R1NA's leading magazine in the
field, by covering working vessels up to 100m in length. Above this figure, The
Naval Architect and Significant Ships take over.
S&B's coverage is so broad that it has been decided to select just five
categories of vessel and pick out some of the more interesting ones in each. The
fact that fast ferries, fishing, offshore, tugs and patrol/pilot boats were chosen
as this year's categories by the editorial team should come as no surprise.
Without doubt, the first four are the growth markets whilst the last shows more
innovation than of late, especially in the pilot boat sector. Of course, the
choices for next year may be entirely different.
Each of the sections starts with a preface indicating the trends and explaining
some of the selections (and exclusions). We particularly appreciate the
contribution by Ian Strutt, Editor of Fishing News lnternational. This is a
sector that is vital to a very high proportion of our readers and the industry as
a whole, from the designer through to the ship builder and equipment
manufacturer. The team welcomes his expert advice.
Whilst the categories may not be in dispute, for 2000 at least, the individual
selections may well be contentious. As always, it is necessary to explain that the
choice is entirely personal and subjective. After all, there have to be one or two
perks in the job of editor!
Finally, thanks are due to all the naval architects, builders and owners that
have furnished information. More than usual, however, a number of owners and
naval architects refused to allow GA drawings to be reproduced. This is not just
surprising, it is regrettable. I find it difficult to imagine what vital secrets can
be extracted from an A4 line drawing.

Fishing vessel building slowed down last year after several years of healthy orders books. Owners hit by volatile
fish prices at a time of high fuel and operating costs set about either cutting the price of their newbuildings and/
or improving their catching and working efficiency. They needed to ensure that big investments in new tonnage
can be made to pay at a time when many fish quotas are being reduced.
Norway has been one of the leaders in improving hull of newbuildings from Chile and China. Chinese shipyards
