Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The MARSTRUCT series of conferences derivd from the MARSTRUCT Network of Excellence with 33 partners, active from February 2004 to January 2010. It has become a biannual series of conferences dedicated to marine structures, allowing for periodic reporting and a discussion of developments in the field. Meanwhile, MARSTRUCT is being continued as a virtual institute.
The scope of the MARSTRUCT 2023 conference (http://www.marstruct-vi.com/marstruct2023/) had the usual broad basis, dealing with all aspects of marine structures. The scope of topics corresponded to those of the International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC), given that this series of conferences is seen as a complementary forum to the ISSC congresses. The topics that MARSTRUCT 2023 covered included the following main areas: methods and tools for loads and load effects, methods and tools for strength assessment, experimental analysis of structures, materials and fabrication of structures, methods and tools for structural design and optimization, and structural reliability, safety and environmental protection.
MARSTRUCT 2023 was the 9th edition of the international conference arranged by the Division of Marine Technology at Chalmers University of Technology I Gothenburg, Sweden. It received around 130 abstracts, from which 99 papers were finally accepted and presented, together with 3 keynote presentations. As in the previous editions, the proceedings were published in book format; however, there may still be scope for a Special Issue of JMSE based on this conference, as the keynote presentations were not included in the proceedings, and a substantial number of abstracts were accepted for which the paper version could not be completed in time to be considered for publication in the proceedings. In addition, several papers that presented the initial results of a more extensive, ongoing study may serve as the source for follow-up or expanded papers that could be considered for publication in this Special Issue of the journal.
In addition to attendees of the conference, all colleagues in related areas are invited to submit papers for this Special Issue, which has the same broad coverage as the conference.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
