SNAME Pacific Northwest January Section Meeting
On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, the Pacific Northwest Section gathered at Glosten's Seattle office for its first meeting of 2024. The meeting had fantastic attendance with representation from a variety of local maritime companies. Student interns, spending their winter in the area, also joined the meeting to network with local professionals. After enjoying dinner and catching up with friends and colleagues, meeting participants were treated to a presentation from Ben Ackers, CEO of PelaStar, who provided a naval architect's perspective on the design and commercialization of the company's offshore wind tension-leg platform. The Section was excited to see such an amazing turnout and is looking forward to connecting again at the next meeting!
