Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the engineering challenges and solutions within the maritime environment, focusing on areas such as materials science for marine applications, ship dynamics and control, offshore structures, and underwater vehicle technology. Articles explore the performance of marine composites, human safety on high-speed craft, ship steering control, wave interactions with breakwaters, and infrared thermography for hull inspection. Additionally, the journal covers ship traffic's impact on air quality, marine engine failure analysis, subsea control systems, fault detection in autonomous underwater vehicles, waste heat recovery from marine engines, fatigue damage in naval vessels, human factors in maritime energy efficiency, drill string-riser systems under wave loads, and deep learning for underwater object detection. Control systems for sea launch platforms are also a key topic.
