Human resources management (HRM) have been increased its functionality and popularity in the shipping business, due to the expeditiously changes in technology, market strategies, risks and challenges in transportation industry. Despite the requirements of International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), held by International Maritime Organi...

Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders are used to identify and locate traffic. By recording AIS data, in a marine setting, it is possible to observe precise ship movements. An AIS-based maritime data modeling method is developed using a potential fields based method for extracting traffic patterns and detecting anomalies. The three aspects of potential field theory: charge accumula...

In this paper, a demand-responsive decision support system is proposed by integrating the operations of coal shipment, coal stockpiles and coal railing within a whole system. A generic and flexible scheduling optimisation methodology is developed to identify, represent, model, solve and analyse the coal transport problem in a standard and convenient way. As a result, the integrated train-stockp...

Decisions based on risk analysis require some form of risk acceptance criteria. Presently the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has initiated an activity on developing a risk-based approach to safety and environmental protection regulations. Explicit risk estimates are new to the IMO. At present, a number of FSA Trial Applications are presented, giving increased general knowledge of the...

This quarter we modified the database to account for the ship classification and ship counting guidance in the Secretary of the Navy’s Instruction 5030.8A [3]. First, we inserted four new fields: 1. 5030.8A Force Category – “Battleforce” or “Non-Battleforce.”1, 2 2. 5030.8A Ship Category – “Combatant Ship,” “Auxiliary Ship,” or “Combatant Craft.” 3. 5030.8A Ship Classification – For example: “W...

To reduce water traffic accident, identification of overloaded ships has been of major importance for enforcing inland river management, especially in some developing countries. Driven by rising oil prices or other economic benefits, the ship overload phenomenon continued to occur in China. Therefore, overloaded ship detection has been of a key factor of shipping safety. This paper presented a ...

One of the main goals shipping industry is to decarbonize fuels used in maritime transportation. Ammonia thought be a potential alternative for hydrogen storage future, allowing CO2-free energy systems. Ammonia’s beneficial characteristics with regard include its high volumetric density, low pressure, and long-term stability. However, ammonia characterized by toxicity, flammability, corrosivene...

Samosir is an island in North Sumatra which used as a tourist destination because of the beauty its lake. Crossing to requires ship sea transportation. Based on data from Ministry Transportation, Ajibata Port, process crossing vehicles holidays has been delayed due surge passengers during high season. The purpose this research design/plan overcome accumulation number method comparison method. s...

Our recent studies revealed that the inositol phosphatase Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing inositol phosphatase (SHIP) is phosphorylated and associated with Shc exclusively under negative signaling conditions in B cells, which is due to recruitment of the SHIP SH2 domain to the FcgammaRIIb. In addition, we reported that SHIP-Shc interaction involves both SHIP SH2 and Shc phosphotyrosine b...

The SH2-containing inositol-5'-phosphatase, SHIP, restrains bone marrow-derived mast cell (BMMC) degranulation, at least in part, by hydrolyzing phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3-kinase generated PI-3,4,5-P(3) (PIP3) to PI-3,4-P(2). To determine which domains within SHIP influence its ability to hydrolyze PIP3, bone marrow from SHIP(-/-) mice was retrovirally infected with various SHIP constructs. In...
