This year’s theme is REVITALIZING CANADA’S MARINE INDUSTRY.

With Canada’s commercial marine sector thriving and the National Shipbuilding Strategy continuing to deliver much-needed vessels for the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Coast Guard and Transport Canada, Canada’s marine industry is experiencing a significant period of renewal and opportunity.

But what comes next? Looking beyond current government shipbuilding requirements, what strategies, investments and initiatives are needed to sustain this momentum and ensure a strong, innovative and competitive Canadian marine industry for years to come?

Join us in Ottawa for Mari-Tech 2027, where marine engineers, shipyards, equipment and technology suppliers, commercial shipowners and operators, regulators, academics and government representatives will come together to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of Canada’s marine sector. Through knowledge sharing, industry dialogue and collaboration, Mari-Tech 2027 will provide an important forum to consider how we can collectively build upon today’s progress and support the continued advancement of the industry.

Held annually, Mari-Tech 2027 is hosted by the Ottawa Branch of the Canadian Institute of Marine Engineering (CIMarE), with support from the Eastern Canadian Section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME). The conference will take place 4th to 6th of May 2027, at the Rogers Centre in Ottawa, Canada.
