Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
More than 80% of the volume of international trade in goods is carried by sea, and the percentage is even higher for most developing countries. Maritime transport serves as the backbone of international trade and the global economy, supporting the smooth flow of international logistics supply chains and fostering global economic and trade development. However, as seaborne trade expands, the issue of emissions caused by shipping becomes increasingly concerning. Ship emissions pose a serious risk to marine and terrestrial ecosystems as well as the health of coastal residents. Furthermore, greenhouse gas emissions from ships contribute to global climate change, which has become one of the major challenges of our time.
In recent years, research on ship emissions has become a hot topic, and some techniques and theories have been accumulated in many aspects, such as ship emission measurement, emission prediction, and the assessment of ship emission reduction policies. With the arrival of the big data and artificial intelligence eras, a number of emerging technologies and theories have demonstrated significant promise in ship emissions research. This Special Issue aims to address the global issue of ship emissions and to promote communication among researchers on ship emissions.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Measurements of Ship Emissions;
- Marine Emissions Monitoring;
- Projections of Ship Emissions;
- Decarbonization Pathways for Ships;
- Evaluation of Ship Emission Control Policies;
- Shipping Optimization;
- Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Technologies on Ships;
- Shore Power Technology;
- Shipboard Microgrids;
- Emission Control Areas (ECAs);
- Supply and Security of Clean Energy and Alternative Fuels;
- Multimodal Transport;
- Ship Emissions and Climate Change;
- Decision Support System for Ship Energy Efficiency;
- EEDI/EEXI/CII;
- Ship Emission Factors.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
