The Singapore Maritime Research Conference (SMRC) provides an international forum for the discussion of frontier maritime research including decarbonisation, digitalisation and autonomy. The theme of the conference is “Powering Research in Digitalisation and Decarbonisation”. SMRC 2025 seeks to:

• Discuss pressing challenges in the maritime sector, such as decarbonisation, sustainability, artificial intelligence, safety and security, and technological integration;
• Curate future maritime research directions, include identifying emerging trends, knowledge gaps, and potential areas for future maritime research in science and technology over the next five years;
• Showcase leading interdisciplinary research in both fundamental and applied areas in maritime;
• Form and catalyse new partnerships in maritime R&D areas;
• Profile emerging young research talent;
• Promote maritime research and innovation

We have lined-up a stellar group of presenters comprising academicians and researchers from leading universities around the world.
