DLBA Naval Architects

// See you at IBEX?

‘Where Better Boats Begin' is the slogan of the annual IBEX - International BoatBuilders' Exhibition & Conference and that’s certainly a vision that everyone at DLBA can aspire to. We’ll be sending a team to Tampa, Florida for the three days of this year’s exhibition, which runs from ,Tuesday 27 to Thursday 29 September.

Shows like this which are dedicated to marine technology make for a great place to meet and discuss any issues you may have related to naval architecture and engineering. Drop us an email if you would like to make an appointment in advance in or nearby the Tampa Convention Center.
