Proceedings in Marine Technology and Oce Innovations in Maritime Technology and Engineering: 2-Volume Set (Paperback)

Innovations in Maritime Technology and Engineering presents a collection of papers in two volumes from the 8th International Conference on Maritime Technology and Engineering (MARTECH 2026) held in Lisbon Portugal on 27-29 May 2026. MARTECH 2026 represents the eighth edition of an international conference series originating from a set of biannual national conferences in Portugal and has progressively evolved into a major international event reflecting the increasing globalization of the maritime sector and its wide range of activities. This volume contains 183 peer-reviewed contributions all evaluated by an International Scientific Committee covering recent research and developments in maritime engineering and technology. The two volumes focus on several key areas including: Ship design - hydrodynamics motions and waveloads manoeuvring propellers energy efficiency hydroelasticity structures composites machinery and alternative fuels small vessels sensors and equipment; Autonomous surface vessels; Autonomous underwater vehicles; Shipbuilding and ship repair; Maritime transportation and ports; Ship operation - environmental perception collision risk and avoidance emissions carbon capture; Renewable energy devices in ships; Offshore energy resources - photovoltaic wind hydrodynamics waves; Marine environment; Fishing and aquaculture; Underwater noise. Overall the proceedings provide a comprehensive overview of current innovations research trends and technological developments in the maritime sector. The Proceedings in Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering series is dedicated to publishing the proceedings of peer-reviewed international conferences addressing a wide range of topics in Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering . The series currently includes the proceedings of several established conferences such as the Marine Structures (MARSTRUCT) conferences the Renewable Energies Offshore (RENEW) conferences the Maritime Technology and Engineering (MARTECH) conferences the International Conferences on Collision and Grounding of Ships (ICCGS) and those organized by the International Maritime Association of the Mediterranean (IMAM). The series is also open to additional conferences that focus on the sustainable exploration and utilization of marine resources across diverse fields. These fields include maritime transport and port operations the use of the ocean and coastal areas nautical activities the exploration and exploitation of marine mineral resources the protection of the marine environment and its resources as well as risk analysis safety and reliability in marine systems. The primary aim of the series is to promote advanced education and professional training through the broad dissemination of high-quality scientific research and technological developments in marine and ocean engineering.
