Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled "Wave Loads on Offshore Structure—2nd Edition", which is based on the great success of our previous Special Issue with the same title.
The ocean is rich in resources, such as oil, gas, wave power, and wind power. The development of these resources heavily relies on different types of offshore structures, including various platforms, as well as fixed or floating structures. In addition, the development of coastal cities also demands the construction of more sea-crossing transportation structures, including underwater tunnels, sea bridges, and breakwaters. These offshore structures face challenges in the complex ocean environment, where the impact of waves and currents remains a primary factor leading to structural damage. Despite numerous studies on wave and current loads, this topic continues to be one of the most important unresolved issues in the field of ocean engineering. Further research would deepen our understanding of hydrodynamic loads, enabling better guidance for engineering applications and enhancing the safety design and operation of offshore structures.
Thus, this Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in wave and current loads on offshore structures, the dynamics of these structures under such loads, and corresponding vibration mitigation methods.

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 semimonthly 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.
