ABOUT

Pan Asian Association of Maritime Engineering Societies (PAAMES) was organized to meet the following objectives:

  • Promoting science and technology in maritime engineering,
  • Supporting the development of maritime industry,
  • Exchanging scientific information,
  • Improving the status of maritime engineers, and
  • Enhancing the cooperation and collaboration among member organizations of PAAMES

PAAMES has been hosting conferences for a decade, starting with its first meeting in Shanghai, China in 2004. Initially held alongside the New S-Tech Conference, the event was renamed the Advanced Maritime Engineering Conference (AMEC) to broaden its scope. Subsequent meetings took place in various locations, including Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Russia. The most recent, the 10th PAAMES meeting, was held in Kyoto, Japan in 2023, showcasing the collaboration of maritime engineering societies across Asia.
