Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to a number of advantages over other transportation systems, maritime industries are continuously seeing a surge in fulfilling present sea-borne transportation demands. Naval architects and ship designers are working tirelessly in collaboration with various scientists and engineers to meet the marine transportation demands through the innovation of energy efficient, cost effective but large carrying capacity vessels while keeping the emissions level low. Likewise, offshore engineers are also working hard to maintain the resilience of energy demands ensuring reliable and fully functioning offshore structures. Recent upward trends and aspirations in harvesting marine renewable energies also have contributed to a boost in offshore installations. However, the sustainability of marine sectors is very much reliant on innovations through research and development. We, therefore, encourage you to submit your high-quality research and/or review articles to this special issue.

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.
