Recent Research on Sustainable and Safe Maritime Transportation

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this Special Issue “Recent Advancements in Sustainable and Secure Maritime Transportation”. Maritime transportation is a complex and critical domain that necessitates sustainable and safe practices. This Special Issue aims to address the challenges and advancements in this field, focusing on engineering solutions that promote environmental sustainability and enhance maritime safety.

We invite original research papers covering a wide range of engineering topics related to sustainable and safe maritime transportation, including, but not limited to:

• Innovative ship design and construction methodologies for improved sustainability and safety;
• Advanced propulsion systems and energy-efficient technologies for ships;
• Waste management and pollution prevention strategies in maritime operations;
• The development and integration of renewable energy sources in maritime transportation;
• Navigation and situational awareness technologies for enhanced maritime safety;
• Risk assessment and management in maritime operations;
• Novel approaches to hull and structural integrity assessment and maintenance;
• Technologies for early detection and mitigation of maritime hazards;
• Advanced monitoring and control systems for efficient port operations.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
