Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Moored floating structures are widely applied in offshore engineering for various purposes, including offshore oil and gas production, ocean renewable energy and aquaculture. Moored floating structures are well suited for non-shallow waters, allowing for installation in more remote and deeper waters far away from land, enabling new offshore opportunities to be realized. Therefore, recent advancements and utilizations of the technology have led to more installations in far deeper and harsher environments. Modelling and simulation are essential tools for adequately understanding the dynamic, nonlinear and stochastic load effects experienced by structures in the offshore environment. This is crucial for the effective and sustainable design, operation and maintenance of moored floating structures. In this context, this Special Issue invites original scientific contributions and review articles on the broad aspects of the modelling and simulation of moored floating structures for all uses. Various applications include, but are not limited to:
- Offshore oil and gas floating production systems;
- Floating wind turbines and wind farms;
- Ocean renewables;
- Floating piers, harbors and docks;
- Floating aquaculture plants;
- Moored ships;
- Other types of moored offshore floating structures.
Papers that present novel modelling, simulation techniques, and/or novel moored floating structures are highly encouraged.

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.
