Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water transportation has significantly shaped the global economy. With the advent of new technologies, innovative concepts, and a continually expanding fleet of vessels ushering in a new era for the shipping industry and maritime transport, water transportation systems have undergone substantial transformations in their modes, characteristics, and overall significance. However, some prominent issues still remain in water transportation systems, such as low efficiency, insufficient levels of intelligence, and pollution emissions. The development of advanced technology and new methods could help to overcome these problems. This Special Issue intends to bring together leading researchers, engineers, and developers to share their valuable insights, expertise, and original research findings on the latest advancements and breakthroughs in water transportation systems.
