Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on state-of-the-art and recent developments in sustainable marine structures aimed at enhancing the maritime industry through building of innovative, intelligent, and environmentally friendly structures. Submissions will be subject to rapid peer review and publication upon acceptance, whereby articles will enjoy the benefits of being freely available in open access.
The topics relevant to this Special Issue include but are not limited to ships and offshore structures, wind turbine-supporting structures in the marine environment, fluid–structure interaction, maritime safety and smart shipping, reliability and maintenance of marine structures, automation and intelligence, big data, and artificial intelligence in marine structures.
The Special Issue will cover advances in the design and service life assessment of marine structures, accounting for environmental pollution. The risk-based maintenance of marine structures leading to minimizing the risk of environmental pollution while considering life cycle assessment and energy efficiency will also feature.
Special attention will be given to the implementation of environmental requirements for new-built and existing marine structures throughout the life cycle toward avoiding harmful impacts on the environment and human health.
Prof. Dr. Yordan Garbatov
Guest Editor
