Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

“A Vision for Ocean Law and Governance for 2020–2030 and Beyond” provides a venue for academics and practitioners researching and working on the law of the sea to present and discuss the latest issues in international law and the protection of the marine environment. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers on a wide range of topics, including the threats from climate change, marine pollution, habitat destruction and overfishing or the international oceans governance framework, which needs to be adaptive, responsive and resilient. Those are important, given that 2020 is expected to be the year in which the Mining Code of the International Seabed Authority will be completed with new exploitation regulations, and because most of the targets of UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Conserve and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development) are due in 2020–25, among others.

This Special Issue presents a selection of papers from the “A Vision for Ocean Law and Governance for 2020–2030” conference at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, that provides insight into the current research and highlights areas where further research is required. The aim of this Special Issue is to convey cutting-edge legal questions that concern the marine environment to a non-specialist audience, with a view to stimulating meaningful and progressive academic discussion on how to adequately manage these issues.

Please note that papers may only be submitted by delegates who chose to participate in Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance’s Conference “A Vision for Ocean Law and Governance 2020–2030 and Beyond.” Details on how to register can be found here: https://www.strath.ac.uk/research/strathclydecentreenvironmentallawgovernance/events/conferences/avisionforoceanlawandgovernancefor2020-2030andbeyond/

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.

Many governments have been strengthening the construction of hardware facilities and equipment to prevent and control marine oil spills. However, in order to deal with large-scale marine oil spills more efficiently, emergency materials dispatching algorithm still needs further optimization. The present study presents a methodology for emergency materials dispatching optimization based on four steps, combined with the construction of Chinese oil spill response capacity. First, the present emergency response procedure for large-scale marine oil spills should be analyzed. Second, in accordance with different grade accidents, the demands of all kinds of emergency materials are replaced by an equivalent volume that can unify the units. Third, constraint conditions of the emergency materials dispatching optimization model should be presented, and the objective function of the model should be postulated with the purpose of minimizing the largest sailing time of all oil spill emergency disposal vessels, and the difference in sailing time among vessels that belong to the same emergency materials collection and distribution point. Finally, the present study applies a toolbox and optimization solver to optimize the emergency materials dispatching problem. A calculation example is presented, highlighting the sensibility of the results at different grades of oil spills. The present research would be helpful for emergency managers in tackling an efficient materials dispatching scheme, while considering the integrated emergency response procedure. Full article

Overview and Comparison of the IMO and the US Maritime Administration Ballast Water Management Regulations

Along with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United States Maritime Administration has developed its own ballast water management legislation under the dual authority of the US Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency. The IMO and US ballast water management regulations are globally recognized as the most significant and influential regimes. Complexity and certain regulatory differences pose considerable concern amongst all stakeholders in the shipping industry, predominantly ship owners and ship operators. This paper presents a conceptual study which overviews, emphasises, and compares key provisions of these two sets of regulations by targeting and unveiling significant points from their perspective since they represent the largest group of stakeholders. Therefore, the paper aims to support shipowners and operators in better understanding the Ballast Water Management regulations and their differences. In addition, the study may benefit in choosing an adequate ballast water treatment system to be installed onboard ships, considering the sea areas where ships intend to operate. Finally, the paper can also help policy makers understand those differences that could present a major barrier in the efficient and smooth ballast water management implementation. Full article
