The exciting progress in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Analytics are unlocking new approaches, making the marine industry safer and more efficient. As an industry it is already applying a wide range techniques to improve design, manufacture, operation and end-of-life of our assets. This is done by preforming leading fundamental research and developing the outcomes into into a range of real-world applications. 

Thanks to the efforts of our Guest Editors, Data-Centric Engineering has published the articles in this special collection in order to highlight data-driven research in the marine sector and to inspire a wider uptake of these approaches in the Marine Industry, This collection places special emphasis on what the journal terms translational research: articles that show the impact that data science has made in an industry or other downstream settings and that end with a set of recommendations for the future that can understood by other industry teams or manager.
