Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions to the inaugural edition of the Special Issue “Power Systems of Polar Ship and Adaptability to Polar Environments”.
With the progressively prominent strategic position of the Arctic and the growing exploitation of its resources, polar ships have become an issue of rising significance. Due to the complex sea conditions of polar shipping and impending stricter emission regulations, polar ships must exhibit high adaptability to polar environments.
The design of ship power systems for polar ships must ensure safety, energy efficiency, and low emissions. Depending on the operating conditions of polar vessels, special considerations are required, such as dynamic performance under fluctuation loads, reliable fuel supply in harsh environments, significant reduction in CO2 emissions, and specialized designs for cold and ice prevention. This Special Issue welcomes submissions of research whose scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Power system design and computing;
- Dynamic response analysis;
- Engine performance and emissions;
- Power system implementation;
- Risk- and reliability-based approaches;
- Fuel supply issues for polar ships;
- Cold and ice prevention.

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.
