Advanced Research on the Sustainable Maritime Transportation (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform where researchers can share their latest findings and insights regarding sustainable maritime transportation. This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics related to sustainable maritime transportation, including the following:

1. Green shipping technologies: It explores the latest developments in green shipping technologies, such as alternative fuels, energy-efficient propulsion systems, and emission reduction technologies.
2. Maritime safety: It refers to the measures and practices that are put in place to prevent accidents and incidents at sea. One of the key areas is the use of autonomous vessels. Another area includes terrorist attacks (such as the Red Sea event).
3. Sustainable port operations: This Special Issue also covers sustainable port operations, including the use of renewable energy sources, waste management, and sustainable logistics.
4. Environmental impact assessment: This Special Issue includes studies concerning the environmental impact of maritime transportation, such as the impact of shipping on marine ecosystems and the effects of climate change on shipping.
5. The evaluation of sustainable development: For example, the reduction capacity performance evaluation of intermodal transport emission and feasibility studies of green and low-carbon technologies for ships, ports, or maritime transportation.
6. Maritime Transportation: this Special Issue also includes studies concerning industrial development and sustainable environment relating to maritime transportation.

In light of the success of this Special Issue and the pressing issue, we would like to announce the 2nd Edition.
