The Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment is concerned with the design, production and operation of engineering artefacts for the maritime environment. The journal straddles the traditional boundaries of naval architecture, marine engineering, offshore/ocean engineering, coastal engineering and port engineering. "We welcome papers from authors wishing to publish their research on the design, production and operation of engineering artefacts for the maritime environment. The Journal maintains the highest standards through their guidance as well as through scrutiny of papers by independent referees who peer-review the papers submitted for publication."
