Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To meet the needs of the development of marine crafts (vessels and underwater vehicles) in recent years, new research is being carried out all over the world to develop a variety of system identification methods and control strategies applicable to marine craft, such as adaptive control, fuzzy or neural-based control, sliding mode control, model prediction-based control, and so on. Several offshore operations of marine crafts require high-accuracy control in position and heading, such as oil drilling, hydrographic surveying, and wrecking. Intelligent control of the marine craft refers to the technology that achieves automatic control and autonomous operation of the marine craft using computers, sensors, networks, and machine learning. The motion control of marine craft also requires the rejection of time-varying unknown disturbances due to environmental conditions. The advances in new control technologies in marine craft bring key operational advantages, including intelligence, autonomy, greenness, safety, stability, efficiency, and low cost. The development of path planning, navigation, and control systems using advanced algorithms and data-driven and data-processing techniques is also a huge advantage in achieving intelligent ship control technology. This call for papers aims to provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest theoretical and technical achievements in the modeling and control techniques of marine craft and intelligent ships.

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.
