Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past decade, remarkable progress has been achieved in developing, designing, and testing subsea cable systems, driven by advances in materials science, computational modelling, and sustainability practises. This Special Issue highlights state-of-the-art research and practical solutions addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with subsea cable technologies.
We invite contributions on topics that include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced materials for subsea cables, including nano-filled polymers and environmentally friendly options;
- Design and modelling techniques for optimizing electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance;
- Cutting-edge testing methodologies, including partial discharge, mechanical stress evaluations, and remaining life estimation;
- Sustainable development strategies, including lifecycle analysis, recyclability, and environmental impact assessments;
- Diagnostic and maintenance approaches, such as online monitoring, fault detection, and expert systems;
- Innovations in cable reliability include digital twin modelling and integration into smart grids.
This Special Issue will explore the latest advances and industrial applications, offering insights into the future of robust, efficient, and sustainable subsea cable systems.

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.
