Elsevier has released a call for papers in innovations for shipping in the context of new environmental policies for its international journal of ocean affairs.

The academic journal publisher is seeking research studies and reviews on topics including and not limited to data, big data, or AI for maritime shipping; use of autonomous ships; use of electric vessels; alternative sustainable maritime fuels; renewable energy for maritime navigation; and innovative operational approaches for maritime shipping.

Dr Patrick Rigot-Muller of Maynooth University’s School of Business is among the guest editors for the special issue of Marine Policy, which aims to compile papers that consider the environmental and sustainability policies related to maritime transport such as emission taxation, speed limitation, containers lost overboard, emission control areas and others. 

The journal’s submission platform is now available for receiving submissions. For more information about this and the call for papers, see Elsevier’s Marine Policy journal website HERE.
