Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past half-century, ocean engineering has witnessed its golden age. There are magnificent offshore structures being developed and built to explore offshore oil and gas. More recently, engineers and researchers have been focusing on designing offshore renewable devices to explore these oceanic resources in a sustainable way. All of these designs cannot be achieved without the development of precise numerical models of such structures under marine environments. The purpose of this Special Issue is, therefore, to promote research on offshore structure design, as well as to publish cutting-edge work on the structural and hydrodynamic modeling of offshore structures. The topic of this Special Issue will include but not be limited to:
- novel designs of offshore structures, including oil and gas platforms, renewable energy devices, marine surface vehicles, underwater vehicles, aquaculture facilities, and very large floating structures;
- structural analysis of the above marine structures;
- hydrodynamic modeling of floating bodies;
- linear and nonlinear wave loads;
- experimental test of marine structures;
- offshore wind turbine modeling;
- ship hydrodynamics;
- wave energy converters;
- breakwater design;
- multipurpose platforms;
- mooring system design.

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.
