Marine Engineering (MRE)

Section Information

Marine Engineering focuses on the design, operation, maintenance, and optimization of marine vessels, offshore structures, and ocean-based systems. It applies engineering principles to propulsion, power generation, fluid systems, structural integrity, and safety in maritime environments.

Modern marine engineering incorporates advanced materials, automation, hydrodynamic modeling, environmental technologies, and digital monitoring systems. Developments in renewable marine energy, autonomous vessels, and smart ship technologies continue to transform the industry.

This section publishes research articles, case studies, and reviews covering ship design, propulsion systems, marine power and machinery, offshore engineering, hydrodynamics, maritime safety, energy efficiency, and emerging technologies supporting sustainable marine operations.
