• The definition of ocean environmental design conditions and the loads exerted by waves, currents, wind, tides, ice and ground motions form the starting point of published work.海洋环境设计条件的界定，以及波浪、流、风、潮汐、冰与地面运动所致的荷载，构成本刊论文的出发点。
• Structural topics include seabed foundations and anchoring systems, static and dynamic response up to collapse, fatigue and fracture, and materials selection with corrosion and other forms of degradation.结构类议题涵盖海床基础与锚泊系统、静力与动力响应直至倒塌、疲劳与断裂，以及材料选择、腐蚀与其他形式的退化。
• The formulation and application of design methods and criteria, including system reliability analysis and optimisation techniques, runs through the journal's remit.设计方法与判据的构建和应用贯穿刊物宗旨，其中包括系统可靠性分析与优化技术。
• Inspection, structural health monitoring, maintenance and lifetime extension appear beside fabrication, transport, installation and decommissioning techniques and resilient design of marine systems.检测、结构健康监测、维护与寿命延长，与建造、运输、安装和退役技术以及海洋系统韧性设计并列呈现。
• Machine learning and data-driven models for predicting the strength or load response of marine structures are named inside the scope, while underwater acoustics, underwater explosions and military applications are excluded.用于预测海洋结构强度或荷载响应的机器学习与数据驱动模型被列入收稿范围，而水声、水下爆炸与军事应用则被明确排除。
