Welcome you to the 2024 International Conference on Naval Architecture and Ocean & Marine Engineering (NAOME 2024). This conference will be held in Nanjing, China on October 11-13, 2024. It is organized by Jiangsu Maritime Institute, co-organized by Dalian Maritime University, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology and Hohai University. With the support of the advisory committee, program committee, and technical committee of NAOME 2024 the conference endeavored to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Marine Engineering research and development. 

Topics of interests of this conference cover all theoretical and practical aspects, but not limited to Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Marine Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Communication Engineering, Computer Science and Automation Control Engineering.

The 2024 International Conference on Naval Architecture and Ocean & Marine Engineering (NAOME 2024) aims to bring together researchers, engineers, scientists, and industry professionals to an open forum to present their stimulating research and knowledge transfer ideas in the Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Marine Engineering. However, we also recognize that the future for engineers is one where they will be working in interdisciplinary teams to solve new, complex, and evolving problems that will require innovative solutions. Therefore, we encourage the participation of other disciplines in this conference where multidisciplinary research and knowledge transfer projects are presented.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the members of the Program Commitee for their critical review of the submitted papers, as well as the Organizing Commitee for the time and energy they have devoted to editing the proceedings and arranging the logistics of holding this conference. I would also like to give appreciation to the authors who have submitted their excellent works to this conference.

NAOME serves a forum to bring together individuals from various backgrounds, such as academia, government representatives and industries to share and present the latest issues with its solutions from research and innovations in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Marine Engineering.

Finally, we do hope all of you will have enjoyable and valuable experience during this conference event. Please share your best knowledge in your area of research and professional activities. We look forward to welcoming you in NAOME 2024.
