Welcome you to the 2026 International Conference on Naval Architecture and Ocean & Marine Engineering (NAOME 2026) which is organized by Guangzhou Maritime University, hosted by Guangzhou Maritime University, School of Shipping and Maritime Studies and Guangdong Ocean University, Naval Architecture and Shipping College, and co-organized by Dalian Maritime University, Guangdong Ocean University, Wuhan University of Technology and Jimei University. This conference will be held in Guangzhou, China on September 18-20, 2026. With the support of the advisory committee, program committee, and technical committee of NAOME 2026 the conference endeavored to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Marine Engineering research and development. NAOME 2026 aims to bring together researchers, engineers, scientists, and industry professionals to an open forum to present their stimulating research and knowledge transfer ideas in the Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Marine Engineering. However, we also recognize that the future for engineers is one where they will be working in interdisciplinary teams to solve new, complex, and evolving problems that will require innovative solutions. Therefore, we encourage the participation of other disciplines in this conference where multidisciplinary research and knowledge transfer projects are presented.

Topics of interests of this conference cover all theoretical and practical aspects, but not limited to Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Marine Engineering, Shipping and Engineering Systems, Sustainability, Safety and Security in Shipping and Engineering.

 

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the members of the Program Commitee for their critical review of the submitted papers, as well as the Organizing Commitee for the time and energy they have devoted to editing the proceedings and arranging the logistics of holding this conference. I would also like to give appreciation to the authors who have submitted their excellent works to this conference.

 

Finally, we do hope all of you will have enjoyable and valuable experience during this conference event. Please share your best knowledge in your area of research and professional activities. We look forward to welcoming you in NAOME 2026.
