Sustainable Operations in Maritime Industry

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to submit a paper to our Special Issue entitled ‘sustainable operations in maritime industry’ of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, which is covered by SCIE and has an impact factor of 2.744 (JCR Q1 in the category of "Engineering, Marine").

With specific reference to maritime operations, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) noted with concern that the health of oceans and marine biodiversity are negatively affected by marine pollution from a number of land-based sources, including vessels and ports. To sustain the development of maritime transportation, “sustainable maritime,” which operates with a good balance between environmental impact and economic interests, has been the focus of marine industries and government agencies and are required to look into energy saving and reducing the impact of their operations on society and the environment.

This Special Issue on “Sustainable operations in maritime industry” to be published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering aims to bring together recent theoretical, applied or methodological advances concerning operations in the sustainable maritime industry, no matter they are hardware, software, or innovative approaches related, and encourage the researchers in maritime studies to have deep thoughts to make the maritime industry sustainable and green. Both research and review papers are welcomed.
