Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy efficiency in maritime transportation is a key strategy for reducing GHG emissions and running costs over marine transport operations. The development of innovations to achieve energy efficiency is also highly impacted by international regulations regarding emission reduction of pollutants. Improving the energy efficiency of the propulsion systems represents an opportunity for both large- and small-size vessels, for which the strategies and potential solutions can be sensibly different. Innovative energy-saving propulsion systems should also be considered for existing vessels in order to enhance opportunities for fuel saving.
This Special Issue invites original scientific contributions on topics including, but not limited to, innovative propulsion systems for maritime transportation, including hybrid systems, green engines, innovative propellers, power trains, ship performances systems, data management, modeling, and tools.

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.
