The 13th Ship and Yacht Design competition organized by the Ship, Yacht and Services Exporters Association has been launched, the participants will compete to design a fishing vessel to be operated in Turkish seas and oceans. The design length of fishing vessel is minimum 40 m, vessel type may be factory fishing, carrying live fish, trawling or purse seiner[1]. The important scientific event of the last six months is the 5th Global Maritime Congress, organized by Istanbul Technical University Maritime Faculty and TMMOB Turkish Chamber of Marine Engineering Engineers, was held in Tuzla on 20-21 May 2024[2]. Another event PER-CON B2B, was held in Istanbul on 20-21 May 2024, with the main support of GISBİR[3].
