Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the launch of a Special Issue that focuses on "Sustainable Strategies for Green Ports and Maritime Logistics: Innovations, Challenges, and Best Practices".
The field of logistics system planning, port, and maritime system planning has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, becoming a crucial area of research and innovation. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to showcase their cutting-edge work in this field, fostering discussions, collaborations, and the exchange of knowledge to advance our understanding and practices.
The primary aim of this Special Issue is to gather high-quality research papers, reviews, and perspectives that focus on advancements in logistics system planning, port, and maritime system planning. We invite contributions that present novel findings, methodologies, theoretical frameworks, and practical applications within this field. By publishing this Special Issue in our esteemed journal, we aim to enhance the visibility and impact of the research conducted in this area, further solidifying our journal as a prominent platform for scientific discourse.
It is important to note that the Special Issue aligns perfectly with the scope of our journal, which encompasses a wide range of topics related to logistics, transportation, and maritime studies. The research presented in this Special Issue should contribute to our journal's mission of disseminating high-quality, original research within the broader context of logistics, transportation, and related fields.
To guide potential contributors, we suggest the following themes for submissions to this Special Issue:
- Theme 1: Optimization models and algorithms for logistics system planning in port and maritime contexts.
- Theme 2: Application of emerging technologies (such as blockchain, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence) in port and maritime system planning.
- Theme 3: Sustainable practices and green initiatives in logistics, port, and maritime systems.
- Theme 4: Risk management and resilience strategies for port and maritime operations.
- Theme 5: Innovations in port infrastructure planning and design for efficient operations.
These themes serve as starting points, and we welcome submissions that fall within the broader scope of logistics system planning, port, and maritime system planning, even if they do not directly align with the suggested themes. We encourage authors to provide a clear rationale for the significance and relevance of their research within this field.
In summary, this Special Issue aims to promote and disseminate advancements in logistics system planning, port, and maritime system planning. By providing a platform for researchers to share their latest research findings, methodologies, and practical applications, we strive to facilitate progress in this field and contribute to the overall body of knowledge.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Nicoletta González-Cancelas
