Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the accelerated thrust on carbon-neutral energy sources, there is a need to reconsider the existing offshore infrastructure in a new light. Among others, potential alternate energy strategies span from offshore wind generation to injection of carbon or hydrogen in depleted reservoirs. This Special Issue intends to publish the latest progresses in restructuring offshore platforms to align with these exciting future prospects. Cutting-edge modelling techniques, including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Multi-physics Simulation, process modelling and use of data-driven models will be key to assisting with this challenging transformation. Digital transformation using technologies of advanced sensing systems, big data, telecommunications, digital twins and industry 4.0 will facilitate the smooth and reliable transition of existing offshore structures to cope with green energy sources. We invite papers concerning topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Carbon Capture and Storage;
- Underground Hydrogen Storage;
- Pipeline integrity analyses;
- Equipment failure analysis;
- Flow assurance for complex fluids;
- AI/Machine Learning (ML) based Fault Detection, Characterisation Diagnosis and/or Prognosis;
- Safety Analysis, Risk Assessment;
- Analyses using combined modelling techniques – eg. CFD/ML.
- Flow Measurement;
- Structural Health Monitoring of Offshore Structures;
- Digital Twins of Offshore Structures;
- Data Analytics and Predictive Analytics of Offshore Structures;
- Telecommunications in 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.
