In response to the pressing need for transportation decarbonization, this paper examines often overlooked domain of inland waterway transport and seeks answer which alternative fuel or power source is most promising that sector. As shipping industry significantly contributes global carbon emissions, it has been shifting towards fuels decarbonization measures in effort reduce them, whereas water...

A bloom of Karenia brevis Davis developed in September 2007 near Jacksonville, Florida and subsequently progressed south through east Florida coastal waters and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Maximum cell abundances exceeded 106 cells L-1 through October in the northern ICW between Jacksonville and the Indian River Lagoon. The bloom progressed further south during November, and termi...

Tidal creeks are widespread and abundant estuarine ecosystems, yet their ecological relevance is undervalued as reflected by the lack of research on these systems relative to larger, better-known estuarine systems (e.g. the Chesapeake Bay, the Albemarle–Pamlico Sound System, Florida Bay, to name a few). These better-known large estuaries contain numerous tidal creeks which, in comparison to the...

Abstract Under the new situation, speed of economic development continues to accelerate, and under influence modernization process, transportation industry is more closely linked with economy. To promote sustainable industry, it necessary establish a scientific effective statistics strategy achieve steady growth. This paper designs segmented time-varying parametric state space model based on co...

Today, over 90 percent of world trade is carried out via maritime transportation by 90,000 vessels. Like all modes that use fossil fuels, ship emissions significantly contribute to global climate change and acidification. In this aspect, the shipping industry responsible for a significant proportion problem. According data International Maritime Organization (IMO), more than 3% carbon dioxide c...

This article presents the use of a computer application codenamed “NEPTUN” to ascertain waterway parameters modernised Świnoujście–Szczecin waterway. The designed program calculates individual risks in selected sections fairway depending on input data, including ship, available water area, and positioning methods. collected data used for analyses modules are stored SQL server shared access. Vec...

Abstract Aids to navigation are established assist vessels in the with special importance narrow channels, rivers, or areas dangers navigation. Whether design of aids (AtoN) system is optimum depends on ship positioning, which affected by several factors: waterway geometry, metocean conditions, ship, pilotage, and AtoN themselves, being a crucial part waterway. Optimizing type signals distance ...
