Workshop on AI for Marine Applications

Delta Hotel, Ottawa
December 9-10, 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies such as machine learning (ML) are rapidly transforming industries across the globe — and the marine and offshore sectors are no exception. To explore how these innovations can be effectively leveraged in Canada, a two-day workshop is being organized, structured around three key components:

1. Foundations of AI in Engineering
   A half-day crash course designed to provide participants with a practical understanding of AI and related technologies. This session will clarify what AI can - and cannot - do, with a focus on engineering applications.

2. Real-World Marine Applications
   A series of presentations showcasing practical examples of AI in the marine industry. These will span a wide range of use cases related to the
   design, maintenance, and operation of marine assets.
   
   

3. Breakout Sessions
   Collaborative discussions to identify potential projects for CISMaRT to pursue over the next three years.
