Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous advancement of the green and low-carbon shipping industry, research on clean energy power systems and energy efficiency optimization technology has gradually deepened, and many research advances have been achieved. Therefore, this Special Issue has been organized by Dr. Kai Wang and Dr. Nikos Themelis to document these research advances. The objective of this Special Issue is to collect research papers in the field of ship energy efficiency optimization and control, including ship energy efficiency model and prediction, intelligent energy efficiency optimization, clean energy hybrid power system, marine alternative fuel application technology, and advanced energy-saving technology. This Special Issue invites contributions comprising experimental tests, numerical simulations, and theoretical analyses on ship energy efficiency optimization. Contributions may also include case studies, review articles, or short communications.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
