Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The international Maritime Organisation (IMO) adopted the 2023 Strategy on reduction in GHG emissions from ships. This strategy now incorporating a net-zero GHG emission goal to be achieved by or around 2050. In line with this updated strategy, transitioning from current situation, ship performance and emission prediction are essential for improving the efficiency and sustainability of maritime transport. This involves predicting various operational factors such as fuel consumption, speed and emission levels based on the ship’s design, operational conditions and environmental factors.
We are looking for papers dealing with disruptive solutions for improving ship performance and emission prediction, to demonstrate alignment with the IMO strategy. This includes data driven prediction models, computational fluid dynamics to predicts ship’s hull and other design factor affecting fuel consumption, hybrid or alternative green fuels for future maritime transport systems, and use of renewable energy sources for the maritime propulsion systems and port facilities.

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.
