Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Damage stability criteria in ships are constantly updated and checked, due to the increase of size in almost every typology of ships: container carrier, passenger ships, yachts, and military vessels. Similarly, the attention to the pollution and the need to transport in a near future different loads and different types of fuel requires the developing of more strict criteria.

The community of researchers must then develop new approaches for the evaluation of damage stability, focusing on calculations and application of new criteria, following the approach already utilized by IMO for the 2nd generation intact stability criteria, in order to increase the safety of navigation. Special attention should be addressed at the evaluation of damage stability analysis overcoming the classical approach of simple “survivability” of the ship, but also taking the challenge of defining more criteria and enlarging the existing ones to make the ship capable of maintaining a certain degree of operativity.

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.
