Marine Systems & Ocean Technology - Selected papers of 28th Pan-American Congress of Naval Engineering (COPINAVAL 2024)
A Special Issue in Marine Systems & Ocean Technology
Open for submissions until September 29, 2024.
The special issue is a collection of the selected papers from the XXVIII Pan-American Congress of Naval Engineering, Maritime Transportation and Port Engineering (COPINAVAL 2024) organized between 25 and 27 of September 2024 in Veracruz, Mexico.
The Pan-American Congress of Naval Engineering, Maritime Transportation and Port Engineering congress (COPINAVAL) is organized by the Pan-American Institute of Naval Engineering association (IPIN). The IPIN is a non-profit civil society dedicated to stimulating the development of naval engineering and waterborne transport in the American continent (https://ipinamericas.org/ (this opens in a new tab)). The last edition (XXVII) was held in La Habana, Cuba in September 2022.
The IPIN also organize the Ibero-American Congress of Naval Engineering. The last edition (IV) was held in Sevilla, Spain from 3 to 5 October 2023, (https://ivcongresoiberoamericanoingenierianaval.com/).
Selected Papers from the 28th Pan-American Congress of Naval Engineering, Maritime Transportation and Port Engineering (COPINAVAL) held in Veracruz, Mexico between 25 and 27 of September 2024. The main objective of the congress is to create an optimal environment for the exchange of experiences, ideas, and the exploration of new lines of research, innovation, and responsible maritime and port development. Important discussed topics are Marine Engineering, Port Engineering, Ocean Renewable Energy, Coastal Management, Decarbonization, Waterborne transportation and Artificial Intelligence.
