Southampton
Welcome to Inmartech 2025 at the National Oceanography Centre
We are delighted to welcome the global marine technology community to Inmartech 2025, hosted at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in Southampton, UK. As one of the world’s leading institutions for ocean science and marine innovation, NOC provides the perfect setting for this unique gathering of marine technicians, engineers, and researchers.
Set on the historic Southampton waterfront, NOC offers state-of-the-art facilities, direct access to marine infrastructure, and a vibrant hub of scientific collaboration. This year’s symposium promises to deliver an inspiring programme of technical sessions, hands-on demonstrations, and networking opportunities — all in a venue dedicated to advancing our understanding of the ocean.
Join us at NOC to explore the future of marine technology, share best practices, and connect with colleagues from around the world.
The InMarTech symposia were initiated, and are co-ordinated, by the annual International Research Ship Operators meetings (IRSO) with the purpose of providing a forum for marine technicians to meet and exchange knowledge and experiences, thereby improving equipment performance and operational techniques during scientific cruises on research vessels.
