Ship berthing is a challenging task in maritime transportation. To date, there is still a lack of
bibliometric analysis to summarize the contributions on this topic. This paper aims to fill the …

Inland navigation structures (INS) facilitate transportation of goods in rivers and canals.
Transportation of goods over waterways is more energy efficient than on roads and railways …

During the process of automatic berthing, the maritime autonomous surface ship (MASS)
needs to sense its own status relative to the berth in real-time and accurately to avoid …

Achieving autonomous and safe berthing can reflect the intelligence level of unmanned
ships, which is also an important manifestation to ensure the safe navigation of ships. As …

With more goods to be transported oversea, traffic and vessels' dimensions increase while
berthing areas merely remain constant and thus challenge ship masters and pilots to …

Autonomous ship technology, which includes real-time monitoring, satellite communication,
and automatic navigation, is rapidly advancing. Despite significant research on single …

In smart ports, accurately perceiving the state of a berthing vessel relative to the berth is
essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of vessels and ports. This paper presents a …

Autonomous surface ships have become increasingly interesting for commercial maritime
sectors. Before deep learning (DL) was proposed, surface ship autonomy was mostly model …

In smart ports, accurate perception of vessels' state during berthing and unberthing is crucial
to ensure the safety of vessels and ports. In this paper, a method for better monitoring the …

Accurately estimating the ship's approach angle is crucial during berthing, or passing
through navigational structures. It forms the foundation for ship navigation decisions. This …
