Dear Colleagues,
The Greek Section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) cordially invites you to SOME 2026, the 9th International Symposium on Ship Operations, Management and Economics.

Over two days the symposium presents more than 40 technical papers, two keynote addresses and two panel discussions (on Carbon Capture Technologies and on Nuclear Energy for Shipping) bringing together shipowners, technical managers, naval architects, marine engineers, classification societies, academia and policy-makers. Sessions cover decarbonisation and alternative fuels, wind-assisted propulsion, regulatory impact, autonomous shipping, AI maritime applications, fuel consumption optimisation, and holistic approaches to ship design and operation.
