Over the past year we have issued a call for papers with respect to FASTWASH’09, a conference to be focused on the theme of high speed waterborne transport for environmentally sensitive areas.  The conference was to be held in Bremerton near Seattle, Washington from July 12-14 in 2009.  At this stage we have not received enough papers to warrant holding the event as originally planned.  However, we do believe that many of the papers submitted, would have greater impact if presented at FAST 2009, Athens, Greece, October 5-8, 2009.  We have proposed one or more thematic sessions based on FASTWASH to the secretariat of FAST 2009 and will update this website as information becomes available.

 

We would like to thank you for your interest and support of FASTWASH, and apologize for any inconvenience that anticipated planning for FASTWASH may have incurred on your part.  

 

The FASTWASH 2009 technical conference has been canceled.  We will likely hold a local scale event with a technical symposium that will include a number of invited papers in either late 2009 or 2010.
