Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ship motion prediction is crucial in maritime operations, particularly in navigation safety, control, and operational efficiency. Since the advancement of machine learning, researchers have increasingly explored data-driven approaches to enhance the accuracy and reliability of ship motion forecasting. This Special Issue highlights the latest advancements in machine learning techniques for short-term time series prediction of ship motion and system identification methods for estimating hydrodynamic coefficients related to seakeeping and maneuvering.
This Special Issue aims to publish cutting-edge research in these domains, ensuring rapid peer review and dissemination of high-quality studies for research and practical applications.
We welcome high-quality papers directly addressing various aspects of ship motion prediction, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Machine learning-based short-term time series prediction for ship motion;
- Data-driven approaches for ship maneuvering and seakeeping analysis;
- System identification methods for estimating hydrodynamic coefficients;
- Applications of AI in ship stability, route optimization, and safety enhancement.
We encourage novel methodologies and interdisciplinary research to further the understanding and application of machine learning in ship motion prediction.

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.
