Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of cargo carriages is mainly implemented by ships worldwide as a manner of cost-effective transport. The recruitment of new ship crews has become difficult due to piracy, staying away from home for long periods of time, etc. The new development of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques demonstrates tremendous potential in alleviating the above-mentioned disadvantages. It can be envisioned that AI techniques may require fewer on-board ship crew members, whilst the maritime traffic safety and efficiency will be obviously enhanced as well. More specifically, AI techniques will be introduced to revolutionize the shipping industry by conducting the following tasks: maritime traffic situation awareness, automated ship controlling, optimal ship trajectory planning, ship-shore-vehicle collaboration, vehicle scheduling for automated container terminal (ACT), intelligent maritime supervision and management, multi-ship cooperative, etc.
The Special Issue aims to invite studies to effectively guide the future planning, design, construction, and application of maritime transportation system, and provides strong support for cultivating new-era maritime transportation industry with support of varied data sources (video, automatic identification system (AIS), radar, etc.). We invite full paper submissions fitting the general theme of “application of artificial intelligence in maritime transportation”. Moreover, we encourage submissions from a broad range of research fields related to maritime transportation issues.
- Intelligent maritime traffic situation awareness.
- Ship behavior identification and prediction via varied maritime traffic data sources.
- Optimal traffic controlling via cooperation of vehicle, ship and management center.
- Ship visual navigation and mooring via multiple maritime data sources.
- Maritime traffic safety analysis.
- Ship and vehicle fleet controlling and trajectory planning.
- Vehicle scheduling and optimization related issues in the ACT era.
- Carbon-emission-motivated trajectory planning, scheduling, and controlling, etc.
- Traffic flow prediction and analysis.

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.
