Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Floating offshore renewable energy systems operate through strongly coupled interactions among aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads, structural responses, mooring systems, control actions, and power conversion processes. These interactions become particularly important under changing environmental and operational conditions, where local disturbances may propagate across subsystems and affect overall performance, adaptability, and resilience. Advancing the understanding of such coupled behaviour is therefore essential for the development of more robust, efficient, and reliable floating energy technologies.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and review papers on the coupled dynamics and resilience of floating offshore renewable energy systems. Contributions may address theoretical, numerical, experimental, and data-driven approaches, with particular emphasis on multi-physics interactions, system-level responses, uncertainty, extreme conditions, and adaptive operation.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Floating offshore wind turbines;
Wave energy converters and hybrid offshore energy systems;
Aerodynamic–hydrodynamic–structural coupling;
Mooring and station-keeping dynamics;
Nonlinear and transient responses;
Extreme and abnormal operating conditions;
System identification, monitoring, and digital twins;
Robust, adaptive, and fault-tolerant control;
Reliability, resilience, and lifecycle performance;
Model validation, uncertainty quantification, and optimization.
The aim is to provide a focused platform for advancing integrated understanding and design methods for next-generation floating offshore renewable energy 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-anonymized 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 semimonthly 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.
