Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of marine vehicles has borne witness to remarkable progress in the domains of maneuvering, guidance, and control. As technology continues its relentless march forward, a host of innovative techniques have surfaced, each designed to bolster the efficiency, safety, and autonomy of marine vehicles and their cooperation with other vehicles. These advancements have implications across a broad spectrum of applications, encompassing navigation, exploration, surveillance, and transportation. The purpose of this Special Issue of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is to provide the latest research results in the fields of the optimal maneuvering and control of ships. This Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: marine surface vehicles, optimal maneuvering in marine environment, course keeping and path following control, cooperative control mission for multiple vehicles, dynamic positioning, and other advanced techniques in automatic navigation.
