International Conference on Ship Manoeuvring in Shallow and confined Water with non-exclusive focus on clean power in shallow water
18-21 May 2025, Bruges, Belgium
The 7th MASHCON conference will be held from 18 to 21 May 2025 in Bruges, Belgium. The MASHCON conferences offer researchers and experts the possibility to discuss the latest developments in research and practice related to ship manoeuvring in shallow and confined water.
A first call for abstracts has now been launched for the 7th MASHCON conference, which will be held from 18 to 21 May 2025 in Bruges, Belgium. The MASHCON conferences offer researchers and experts the possibility to discuss the latest developments in research and practice related to ship manoeuvring in shallow and confined water.
The 7th MASHCON conference will pay particular attention to clean power in shallow water, dealing with aspects such as the green energy transition in shipping and near-shore emissions, manoeuvring in shallow water with Efficiency Improving Devices (EID) and auxiliary propulsion in shallow water, including wind assistance. The conference will not just concentrate on clean power, but also discuss shallow water effects on ship manoeuvring, ship - bank interaction and other confined water effects, ship - ship interaction effects and squat and other vertical motions in shallow water.
Authors are invited to submit an abstract of 350-500 words before 30 September 2024. Once accepted, authors will be expected to write and present a full paper, which will be reviewed by the international scientific committee.
The 7th MASHCON conference is organized jointly by Flanders Hydraulics and the Maritime Technology Division at Ghent University.
