Abstract: Climate change has a profound impact on marine engineering, particularly on the stability and durability of marine structures and the functionality of systems in the maritime industry. Rising sea levels, increased storm frequency, ocean acidification, and higher temperatures present significant challenges to the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of marine engineering practices. This paper explores the multifaceted effects of climate change on marine engineering, focusing on structural damage, operational efficiency, and the adaptation strategies required for future-proofing maritime operations. It discusses innovative engineering designs, policy measures, and collaborative international efforts to mitigate these challenges.
