Marine Technology: Latest Advancements and Prospects
This special issue belongs to the section “Ocean Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
From ocean energy to maritime transport, marine technology stands as a cornerstone in the foundation of modern society's prosperity. The landscape of this sector has undergone a profound transformation, driven by technological advancements and evolving societal needs over the last decade. Notably, hybrid simulation combining high-fidelity numerical modelling and remote monitoring has become achievable owing to the enhanced computational capacity/capability and sensing technology. Moreover, the climate emergency requires the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders to work towards a more sustainable marine sector and to harness the offshore renewable energies.
This Special Issue offers a platform for experts to disseminate the latest cutting-edge advancements related to marine technology, thereby facilitating knowledge exchange between academia and industry.
We welcome submissions of original research articles and reviews relevant to the overarching theme, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Marine hydrodynamics;
- Marine structural mechanics;
- Marine hydroelasticity;
- Green marine technology;
- Ocean renewable energy;
- Digitalization in marine technology;
- Fabrication and manufacturing;
- Automatic control of marine 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
