About the Journal

Journal History

The Indonesian Journal of Maritime Technology (ISMATECH) was established in 2023 in response to the growing demand for a dedicated platform that accommodates scholarly publications in the maritime and marine technology sectors. The journal was initiated by academics and professionals who recognized the strategic importance of advancing scientific research in the fields of Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, Marine Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering with maritime applications.

ISMATECH was founded with a mission to support the dissemination of innovative research and technological developments that contribute to the sustainability, safety, and efficiency of maritime industries, both in Indonesia and globally. Since its inception, the journal has committed to upholding international standards of publication ethics, rigorous peer-review processes, and open-access principles to ensure broad accessibility and academic impact.

The journal officially began publication in June 2023, and follows a biannual release schedule, publishing issues in June and November each year. From its earliest volumes, ISMATECH has received submissions from researchers, engineers, and practitioners across academia and industry, and continues to expand its reach and contribution to the maritime research community.

As it evolves, ISMATECH remains focused on fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and supporting research that aligns with global challenges, including those outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
