Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Safety, reliability, and sustainability are currently the most recalled words by companies in the maritime sector and by various policy makers and relevant international institutions (such as the International Maritime Organization). The societal goal to address the ability to safely co-exist on Earth over a long time is, in the maritime sector, related to the continuous growth of goods in maritime transport and the need to reduce its influence on the environment. Several perspectives are promoted in the maritime community. The safety perspective addresses the need to reduce the risk of maritime transport or manage the risk with the most efficient approaches. Several stages are promoted from education to engineering, development, and organizational approaches. Recent research and novel approaches in the sustainable and safe maritime transport arena are the focus of this Special Issue of JMSE.
Review and research papers are preferred, with a specific focus on safe and sustainable maritime transport.
Dr. Peter Vidmar
