Dynamic Stability and Safety of Ships in Waves

Dear Colleagues,

The motion of floating bodies in waves is one of the most characteristic research areas in the field of naval and ocean engineering. Seakeeping performance is a crucial aspect, not only for conventional vessels like cargo ships, but also for high-speed crafts such as patrol boats and naval ships, and offshore structures. It plays a significant role in ensuring the efficiency and safety of these vessels and marine systems during operations at sea. The development of autonomous navigation technologies and the increasing demand for eco-friendly energy carriers have made it imperative to understand and optimize the seakeeping performance of vessels engaged in the transport of LNG and liquid hydrogen. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge scientific papers on ship stability and safety, focusing on wave-induced motions and effects.

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.
