Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decade, major efforts in developing ship structures have focused on reducing the risk of marine accidents and the emission of greenhouse gasses. These targets require continuous improvements in the knowledge of the demands imposed on modern and environmentally friendly ships and their structural capacity. In line with these objectives, the second edition of this Special Issue on ship structure, "Ship Structures II", invites the latest experimental and numerical studies related to shipping environments and their associated loads, static and dynamic ship structural responses, different failure modes and the development of risk-based safety criteria. The guest editors of this Special Issue, together with the editors of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, promise to provide a high-quality reviewing process and the efficient publication of your original research, review papers and case studies on the following topics:
- Collision and grounding;
- Fatigue and fracture mechanics;
- Health monitoring and full-scale measurements;
- Modelling of ice and ice-induced loads;
- Probabilistic modelling of waves and wave-induced loads;
- Quasi-static and dynamic structural analysis;
- Risk-based maintenance planning of ship structures;
- Springing and whipping of ship structures;
- Strength assessment of corrosion-damaged ageing ship structures;
- Structural design and optimization;
- Ultimate strength of plates, stiffened panels and ship hull girders;
- Uncertainty, reliability and risk-based methods;
- Vibration and noise.

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.

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.
