About
Dr. Ratko Mimica is a leading researcher in naval architecture and maritime engineering, with a primary focus on the digital transformation and technological advancement of small and medium-sized shipyards. His work addresses the critical challenge of integrating Industry 4.0 solutions into traditional shipbuilding environments, where operational inefficiencies and global competition threaten domestic markets for short sea, work, and inland vessels. Dr. Mimica’s major contribution is exemplified by his pivotal role in the Mari4_YARD project, a case study that systematically identifies the methodologies and hurdles for implementing advanced technologies in these specialized facilities. His research provides a practical roadmap for modernizing production processes, enhancing competitiveness, and ensuring the sustainability of smaller shipyards. With his most-cited paper from 2025 already garnering attention, Dr. Mimica’s work is essential reading for maritime engineers and policymakers seeking to bridge the gap between cutting-edge innovation and the real-world constraints of the shipbuilding industry.
