The 4th International Conference on Marine Structures, MARSTRUCT 2013, was held in Espoo, Finland, between 25 and 27 March 2013, and it follows on from previous events held in Glasgow, Scotland; Lisbon, Portugal; and Hamburg, Germany, in 2007, 2009 and 2011, respectively, and the following MARSTRUCT 2015 will be held in Southampton in March 2015. The principal objective of the MARSTRUCT Conferences is to create the specialised forum for academics, researchers and industrial participants whose areas of activity are directly related with structural analysis and design of marine structures. It was our intention that the MARSTRUCT Conferences be specifically dedicated to marine structures, which complements other available conferences on ships and offshore structures. This series of conferences is one of the main activities of the MARSTRUCT Virtual Institute, an association of research groups interested in cooperating in the field of marine structures which was created in 2010 after the end of the Network of Excellence on Marine Structures (MARSTRUCT), which was funded by the European Union. The papers presented at MARSTRUCT 2013 generally fall into the following areas of research: • methods and tools for establishing loads and load effects – wave loads, vibrations, response to accident loads; • methods and tools for strength assessment – structural analysis, structures on ice, impact and collision, fatigue strength, ultimate strength; • experimental analysis of structures; • materials and fabrication of structures – composite structures, weld simulations; • methods and tools for structural design and optimisation; • structural reliability, safety and environmental protection; • renewable energy devices. Nearly 60 papers were accepted to the conference after a review process, based on the full text of the papers. From these, five were selected after additional peer-review process to this special issue of Ships and Offshore Structures. We hope that this process contributed to a consistently good level of the papers included in this Special Issue of Ships and Offshore Structures and provided a sample of the type of papers included in the Conference Proceedings.
