maritime engineering

Maritime engineering involves designing, building, and maintaining ships, boats, and offshore structures like oil rigs and wind turbines. It combines principles of mechanical, naval, and structural engineering to ensure these vessels and structures are safe, efficient, and suited to operate in challenging marine environments. This field addresses technical challenges such as stability, buoyancy, propulsion, and corrosion, using specialized materials and systems. Maritime engineers also work on optimizing vessel performance and safety, supporting global trade, transportation, and energy extraction, all while considering environmental impact and sustainability.
