Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For various reasons, and due to various objects, many types of structures are needed in the ocean and in coastal regions. In general, offshore structures have been mainly constructed for the offshore oil and gas industries. Today, however, many innovative offshore structures are being actively developed, such as floating renewable energy facilities and floating transportation infrastructures. Moreover, the concept of smart ports and its application is being suggested worldwide. In addition, smart disaster prevention structures are needed against unexpected natural disasters in coastal regions due to the global climate crisis. To enhance the structural safety and operability of various innovative coastal and offshore structures, we should first investigate and understand the structural behavioral characteristics of the structures based on rational research methods and procedures. Then, we can develop effective design, analysis, optimization, monitoring, and maintenance methods. Therefore, we are inviting you to submit original work to this Special Issue on “Advances in Innovative Coastal and Offshore Structures” in areas including but not limited to:
- Development of innovative coastal and offshore structures
- Offshore renewable energy facilities
(floating wind turbine, floating photovoltaic platforms, etc.)
- Offshore floating transportation infrastructures
(submerged floating tunnels, long-span floating bridges, etc.)
- Smart disaster prevention structures in coastal regions
- Structures for smart ports
- Effective design and analysis methods for coastal and offshore structures
- Effective smart monitoring technologies for the coastal and offshore structures

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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 monthly 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.
