Symposium on Marine Propulsors (SMP)

smp'26 is the ninth Symposium on Marine Propulsors symposium dedicated to hydrodynamics of all types of marine propulsors. smp’26 provides a forum to promote scientific advancement, technological progress, information exchange, and cooperation among engineers and researchers working in the domain of marine propulsors and other related fields.

MARIN is a frequent particpant and this 2026 edition we will be presenting no fewer than 7 papers:
