The International Conference on Marine Engineering & Technology (ICMET 2025)

Aim:

The second International Conference on Marine Engineering & Technology, Oman 2025 (ICMET Oman 2025) is organized by the Marine Engineering Department of the Military Technological College (MTC), Oman under the umbrella of ‘International Congress on Engineering Advancements, Science and Technology, 2025 (ICEAST 2025)’. Building on the success of the inaugural conference held in 2019, ICMET 2025 will provide a unique platform for high-level interactions and discussions on a diverse array of marine engineering, science, and technology topics relevant to the international community. The ICMET will focus on the latest innovations, challenges, and opportunities in marine engineering, with a special emphasis on Oman Vision 2040 and its alignment with global trends. The industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and maritime professionals will gather to discuss themes such as economic diversification through green and sustainable marine technologies, naval ships and shipbuilding, digital transformation in marine technologies, education, training, and workforce development, safety and risk management in marine environment, smart logistic support and infrastructure. The event will highlight Oman’s strategic role in shaping the future of the maritime industry while addressing global challenges like climate change, ocean and marine life conservation and maritime traffic safety. Taking place at the innovative and forward-thinking Military Technological College (MTC) in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, this is an excellent opportunity to attend a high level technical international conference located in the strikingly beautiful Gulf of Oman with its rich maritime history dating back more than a millennium.

Key Themes: The themes of ICMET 2025 are designed to guide discussions and sessions, ensuring a comprehensive and forward-looking approach to advancing Oman’s marine sector while aligning with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040 and global maritime trends. These themes focus on driving innovation, sustainability, and economic growth within the maritime industry. The key themes include:

·         Economic Diversification through Green and Sustainable Marine Technologies

·         Naval Ships and Shipbuilding Solutions

·         Digital Transformation in Marine technologies

·         Safety and Risk Management in Marine Environment

·         Smart Logistic Support and Infrastructure

 

By addressing these themes, ICMET Oman 2025 aims to advance the Sultanate’s maritime industry in a way that is sustainable, innovative, and aligned with Oman Vision 2040’s economic and environmental priorities.
