The first message from the founding editor

Abstract

Maritime Technology and Research (MTR) (E-ISSN: 2651-205X) is launched to celebrate the 12^th Anniversary of Faculty of International Maritime Studies, Kasetsart University, Thailand. 

MTR is a peer-reviewed journal covering all areas of Maritime Technology. It provides a forum for discussion of current issues, new idea and developments, as well as breakthroughs in coastal and oceanic arenas. The range of topics extends from coastal zone to deep ocean, including engineering, environment, logistics, as well as other management aspects. 

In addition to original, full-length contributions presenting new research and developments in the field, the journal also publishes review papers authored by leading authorities. The journal implements a double-blinded review system with at least 2 expert reviewers. Articles are freely available to all readers. 

MTR’s editorial committee members are academically well-known, ensuring high standard of the journal. I formally invite authors and readers to participate in MTR. Hopefully, MTR can be a venue for us to share our knowledge, advancing maritime technology. I welcome all submissions with great pleasure.

Finally, with great pleasure, I would like to introduce our founding team members; Dr. Supawat Chaikasem (Journal Manager), Mr. Kosin Sirirak (Journal Manager) and Miss Risa Fongsaichol (Journal Assistant), who have worked hard for our success.
