Sustainable Ship Design and Digital Twin Yard
This special issue belongs to the section “Ocean Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As artificial intelligence (AI) and smart factory technologies are rapidly transforming the manufacturing industry, manufacturers can no longer afford to ignore digitalization or decarbonization. One such manufacturing industry—the shipbuilding industry—must take sustainability into account when designing ships, and alternative sources of fuels and power systems are already widely used in propulsion systems. Shipyards are becoming increasingly well-equipped with sensors and robots to establish digital twin platforms.
This Special Issue covers the various sustainable designs and digital twin technologies that have been used in ship design and shipbuilding. Furthermore, studies on computer-aided design and digital manufacturing technologies for offshore plants, different types of domestic vessels, autonomous ships, and the maritime industry are also welcome.

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-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.
