Aims and scope

The Journal of International Maritime Safety, Environment Affairs, and Shipping is a peer-reviewed open access journal covering all aspects of international maritime safety, environment affairs, and shipping.

The journal is produced by Korea Maritime Cooperation Centre (KMC), with financial support from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of the Republic of Korea (MOF).

SEAS encourages submissions related to recent issues discussed within International Maritime Organization (IMO). So far, maritime issues that have been explored within IMO have been discussed in separate academic sectors. As a multi-disciplinary journal, SEAS aims to provide an integrated forum for all the academic and practical sectors involved in IMO.

Topics considered appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to:

  • Ship design, systems and equipment
  • Navigation, search and rescue
  • Marine pollution, liability and compensation
  • Maritime security
  • Maritime human factors
  • Shipping and port management
  • Marine accident and traffic risk assessment

The journal welcomes original scholarly articles, notes and comments, as well as book reviews.

The journal operates a double-anonymized peer review policy.

All articles will be made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
