Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) have expanded to several fields, from robotics to economic models, and enabled real-time algorithms to help plan the course of autonomous, non-autonomous, manned, or unmanned aircraft and surface vehicles. Especially for maritime vessels, and with automation and digitalization becoming increasingly central in their operation, optimum routing, path planning, and collision (with vessels, large objects, or large marine mammals) avoidance in complex sea environments emerge as areas where AI can play a pivotal role; in addition, multi-objective optimization algorithms, fuzzy logic, and other mathematical tools can solve complex problems in a practical and applied manner for use by modern marine vehicles.

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.
