AIMS AND SCOPES
- Safe(r shipping and environment) – The weakest link in terms of maritime safety is the human factor. The rapid development of autonomous technology for ships will affect shipping and its safety profoundly. Port development is a must. Managing the port in a sustainable fashion is necessary.
- Smart(er shipping technology) – Green is the new smart. Shipping is using advanced technologies, not just IT, to reduce its environmental footprint. Smart maritime education is indispensable. Maritime laws and policy need to get smarter and up-to-date.
- Sustainable (use of the oceans) – The sea is much more than just a “highway made of water” to transport goods and people. Coastal area is valuable. Coastal protection and management are important for community development. Sustainable prevention and management of marine pollution are necessary.

Invitation from Dean
Honorable Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen:
SEA the Future 2025 is the third international conference aiming at sharing and exchanging state-of-the-art knowledge, experience, and technology for sustainable development of maritime in Southeast Asia. I believe that the success of our 1st and 2nd SEA the Future can impress you and attract you to participate in the 3rd SEA the Future.
It is our intention to organize this conference for the benefit of all participants. Knowledge can be exchanged, new techniques can be shared, and friendship can be fostered. Pattaya is selected as the conference venue because, not only, it is one of the most popular sea beaches in Thailand, but notably, it also represents an abundance of culture, fruits, and seafood. If time is available, participants may enjoy themselves either by playing water sports or joining a nearby island travel.
On behalf of the Faculty of International Maritime, Kasetsart University, we are looking forward to warmly welcoming each and every delegate at the Conference. We hope that you will have great enjoyment during your time in Pattaya. I hope you will find the conference an impressive experience.
Best regards,
