Maritime shipping, with a significant role in global trade, confronts various accidents leading
to loss of lives, properties, and the environment. Shipping 4.0 technologies are scaling up to …

Over the past decade the number of maritime transportation accidents has fallen. However,
as shipping vessels continue to increase in size, one single incident, such as the oil spills …

The prototypes of unmanned merchant vessels are expected to come into service within the
coming years. The main line of argument supporting their introduction pertains to the …

This paper proposes a framework for risk analysis of maritime transportation systems, where
risk analysis is understood as a tool for argumentative decision support. Uncertainty is given …

This paper proposes a fuzzy logic based approach for ship-bridge collision alert by
considering ship particulars, bridge parameters and natural environment. It can be …

As the initiatives to develop and implement autonomous merchant vessels into the global
shipping industry are gaining momentum, their safety remains in the spotlight. It is argued …

The paper presents a new model of ship collision risk, which utilises a ship domain concept
and the related domain-based collision risk parameters. An encounter is here described by …

A novel scheme is proposed for the distributed multi-ship collision avoidance (CA) problem
with consideration of the autonomous, dynamic nature of the real circumstance. All the ships …

Risk matrices and risk diagrams are widely used tools for analyzing, assessing and
visualizing risk in many industries, and are used extensively for risk management purposes …

Extreme weather events can result in loss of life, environmental pollution and major damage
to vessels caught in their path. Many methods to characterise this risk have been proposed …
