Research

The scientific research activities have been recognized as one of the most important strategic tasks for enhancing the prestige and brand-name of the university to the socio-economic environment and national industry, promoting the position of the university in the trend of integration and globalization.
Recently, Vietnam Maritime University is actively enhancing the exchanges of materials, researchers and faculty members, joint-research with overseas universities and academies, focusing on the fields of maritime control automation, shipbuilding technology, offshore construction, marine environment protection, climate changes, sea-port operation and management, logistics and supply chain, etc., which are vital matters of Vietnam's industries.
The magazine of Maritime Science and Technology with other papers of professors and lecturers have been regularly published and distributed widely in Vietnam and oversea. Many scientific researches of Vietnam Maritime University were published on the international magazines and journals such as SCOPUS (The largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature), SCIE (Science Citation Index Expand), etc and have been presented at international seminars and conferences such as IAMU AGA (International Association of Maritime Universities Annual General Assembly), ISME (International Seminar on Marine Engineering), IMLA (International Maritime Lecturers Association Seminar), ACMSSR (The Asia Conference on Marine Simulators and Simulation Research), etc.
The products of Vietnam Maritime University as its scientific research results have been recognized and certified by Class NK (Japan), and Bureau Veritas (France) for the world wide application.
