The new airport project in Sanya planned by government of Hainan Province of China, is located at Hongtangwan of Sanya City, that is, to build an offshore airport with an area of a 28 square kilometers. The construction ...

Most alpine ecosystems are subject to non-native species invasion as climate warms and human disturbance increases. Therefore, it is important to identify the main barriers and facilitators of alpine plant invasions. Whi...

Abstract Bunker fuel prices constitute a major component of maritime transport costs, representing 30–70% of total operating expenses and critically influencing competitiveness, planning, and regulatory compliance in g...

Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) operations face three main issues: they are time-critical, rescue boat access is often difficult, and the vastness of the ocean poses a great challenge to identifying drowning victims. Re...

The maritime sector, responsible for around 2.9% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is under increasing pressure to decarbonize towards the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) 2050 targets. A number of e...

Maritime transport is the backbone of international trade and globalization. Maritime transport research can be roughly divided into two categories, namely the shipping side and the port side. Most of the classic approac...

The quality of the optical fiber infrastructure is directly related with the strength of the fiber polymer coating. In this work we have studied the effect of maritime environment in the aging of optical fibers. The resu...

The 76th session of the Marine Environment Committee (MEPC 76) of the International Maritime Organization adopted several mandatory measures in June 2021 to reduce carbon emissions from ships. One of the measures is the ...

Global supply chain disruptions caused by the six-day blockage of the Suez Canal in March 2021 and the reduction in shipping through the Bosporus Strait since the onset of the Ukraine War in February 2022 are recent demo...

Maritime accidents remain a persistent challenge in confined and high-density waterways, where technical, human, environmental, and organizational factors interact. This paper proposes an integrated fuzzy Multi-Criteria ...

Oil spill monitoring in port and maritime environments is essential for environmental protection and emergency response. However, precise segmentation from UAV-captured optical imagery is still difficult due to specular ...

Ship air emissions are recognized as one of the key concerns of the maritime industry. Competent authorities have issued various regulations to manage air emissions from ships. Although the authorities are policy makers,...

The International Maritime Organization has been promoting energy-efficient operational measures to reduce ships' bunker fuel consumption and the accompanying emissions, including speed optimization, trim optimization, w...

The increasing attention to land–sea interactions in spatial planning highlights persistent difficulties in integrating terrestrial and maritime governance, particularly in tourism-intensive coastal areas where environ...

Fine-grained remote sensing ship detection plays an important role in maritime traffic management and the security guarantee system. Despite considerable research advances have been achieved via elaborately designed deep...

Abstract The two-dimensional ray tracing method allows an easy and fast modeling of tropospheric propagation in the microwave frequency range. A version of this method that determines ray trajectories, amplitudes and del...

Accurate geomagnetic field mapping plays a critical role in the navigation and localization of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), especially in environments where traditional satellite navigation is unavailable. This...

With the rapid expansion of ultra-large industrial modular units (ULIMUs), the demand for maritime transport has grown substantially. These units are typically loaded via roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) operations using ship T-...

The design of a bistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images simulator is described, as a response to the need of databases with classification purposes in bistatic radar scenarios characterized by numerous de...
