--Overview--

The International Conference on Marine Technology to be held in Novorossiysk organised by the Admiral Ushakov Maritime State University and the Wessex Institute, UK aims to discuss new developments in traditional and advanced marine techniques in a variety of topics.

The substantial growth of maritime shipping and cruise ships, together with the rapid advances in naval engineering for military as well as civilian uses has resulted in rapid changes in many fields. They include management, operation, design and manufacture of ship and maritime works. Added to this are the substantial advances in the field of offshore hydrocarbon exploitation, and shipping with the need to address the associated environmental risk.

The conference will address both advances in traditional as well as improvement in marine engineering techniques, including modern areas of research and development on a variety of topics listed below, as well as others relevant to the objectives of the meeting.
