Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Offshore wind power has come a long way since it was first installed in 1991 on monopiles. Recently, as a part of exploring deeper waters and unobstructed wind speeds, floating wind power has garnered interest. Installing floating turbines brings additional degrees of freedom that affect turbine performance and safety. For this reason, the design methodologies, hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and control of such structures have differences from fixed structures and require attention. Similar concerns can be raised regarding their economic viability. This Special Issue will focus on covering these topics in order to address the developments in the field. Different types of offshore wind structures, their fabrication, and installation practices are also of interest.

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 2200 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.
