Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ocean engineering is an important field of engineering. Its scope is wide-ranging, dealing with ocean energy systems, oil and gas systems, subsea systems, aquaculture, and more. The harsh marine environments in which ocean engineering structures are located can jeopardize the safety of these structures. However, such environments give us the opportunity to extract energy from environmentally friendly ocean energy resources, including wind, tidal, and wave energy. Therefore, this Special Issue will collate numerical, experimental, and analytical studies that cover a wide range of topics related to ocean engineering, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Fixed and floating offshore platforms;
- Offshore wind energy systems;
- Tidal energy systems;
- Wave energy converters;
- Floating PV systems;
- Subsea cables and mooring lines;
- Subsea pipelines;
- Aquaculture.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 semimonthly 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.
