Green Shipping Corridors and GHG Emissions

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, the maritime industry encounters challengeable decarbonization. The 2023 IMO GHG strategy envisages a reduction in the carbon intensity of international shipping by 40% by the year 2030; it also includes a new level of ambition relating to the zero or near-zero GHG emission technologies, zero-carbon fuels, etc. Therefore, the maritime industry also needs to be aligned with the Paris Agreement for sustainable growth. This industry is essential to prepare for the enforced GHG regulatory frameworks by using the appropriate measures with regard to low or zero-carbon fuels, energy-saving devices, engine retrofit, carbon capture and sequestration, etc. This Special Issue covers low or zero-carbon fuel bunkering, technological development, the global supply chain, and shipping optimization, along with other related topics. Studies on decarbonization, energy efficiency, GHG emissions related to Scope 3, green fuel technology, and sustainable shipping strategies are also welcome.

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.
