Makassar, Indonesia, November 2014

Introduction

International conference on Ship and Offshore Technology abbreviated as ICSOT is a biannual conference organized with cooperation with the Royal Institute of Naval Architects (RINA) in Indonesia. The first conference was held at Institute of Technology Surabaya (ITS) on November 11 ­ 12, 2010. The second conference was held at Pattimura University, Ambon on December 7-8, 2012. In each of these conferences, there were around 30 papers presented by participants from various countries such as Britain, the Netherland, Norway, Japan, Australia, China, Belgium, Malaysia and Indonesia.
