This volume presents selected contributions from the 7th International Conference on Ocean Engineering (ICOE 2025), hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India. The book brings together recent developments in ocean engineering and highlights their relevance to the emerging blue economy, with emphasis on sustainable use of ocean resources, resilient infrastructure, and technology-driven marine solutions. 

The chapters cover a broad range of themes, including offshore renewable energy, coastal and offshore structures, marine hydrodynamics, ocean energy systems, offshore geotechnics, subsea engineering, marine transportation, and climate-resilient coastal development. Several contributions also explore the growing role of computational methods, data-driven approaches, and artificial intelligence in addressing complex ocean engineering problems. 

The book reflects both academic research and industry-oriented applications, presenting experimental investigations, numerical modelling, field studies, and design methodologies relevant to present-day marine challenges. It also discusses technologies and engineering practices that support the sustainable development of marine resources while addressing environmental and operational considerations. 

Intended for researchers, practicing engineers, policymakers, and graduate students, this volume provides current perspectives and practical insights into advances shaping the future of ocean engineering and the blue economy.
