Are commercial pressures forcing the demise in this country of long-term maritime research projects or is privatization providing a much needed commercial focus for research and development programmes ? This paper assesses the state of R and D in the British maritime industry and draws conclusions from other leading maritime nations and high technology industries. British Maritime Technology Limited (BMT) is in a unique position to provide an overview of the subject with its close links between industry, government and university research departments as well as international links with leading maritime nations. The experiences with BMT before and after privatization are drawn upon to make recommendations about the future structure and co-ordination of R and D programmes in the industry.
