About to STME 2026

The International Conference on Ship Technology and Manufacturing Engineering (STME 2026) will be held grandly in Yantai, an important port city and marine economic hub in northern China. This conference focuses on the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies and advanced manufacturing processes in ship engineering, aiming to create a high-level and international professional academic exchange platform, gathering experts, scholars, researchers, ship designers, engineers, and enterprise representatives in the fields of ship and ocean engineering, fluid mechanics, materials science, intelligent manufacturing, green energy, automation control, and maritime safety. The conference will focus on cutting-edge topics such as intelligent ships and unmanned aerial vehicle technology, ship structure optimization design and strength analysis, green ship power systems (such as LNG, hydrogen fuel, ammonia fuel engines) and emission control, digitalization and intelligence of ship construction (BIM, digital twin, intelligent workshop), advanced welding and composite material application technology, ship drag reduction and energy efficiency improvement technology, research and development of marine environmental adaptability and corrosion-resistant materials, ship port shore collaborative systems, offshore wind power installation ships and deep sea equipment construction, ship lifecycle management and low-carbon operation and maintenance. Through various forms such as keynote speeches, thematic forums, paper presentations, technology exhibitions, and engineering case sharing, we aim to promote the transformation and upgrading of the shipbuilding industry towards green, intelligent, and high-end directions. STME 2026 emphasizes the development concept of "innovation driven, intelligent shipbuilding, and green development of the sea", committed to breaking through key core technologies, enhancing China's independent design and manufacturing capabilities of ships and marine equipment, and serving the maritime power and "dual carbon" strategy. The high-quality papers accepted by the conference will be recommended for publication in relevant international journals indexed by EI, Scopus, or SCI to enhance academic influence.
