About the Conference

The conference aims to consolidate the scientific and practical communities to present and discuss new results in modern shipping, where navigation, energy systems management, and vessel operations form a unified maritime safety framework.

Scientific and Practical Objectives:

  • Generalization and comparative analysis of theoretical and applied approaches to navigation and energy systems.
  • Discussion of methods for formalization and intellectualization of shipping processes.
  • Exchange of practices in implementing IT and automation for real-time decision support.
  • Identification of priority research areas to improve safety and reduce operational risks.
  • Building an interdisciplinary field of cooperation between universities, industry, and international partners.
  • Involving young researchers in solving modern engineering challenges in maritime transport.
