It is necessary to develop a useful application to use big data like as AIS for safety and efficiency of ship operation. AIS is very useful system to collect targets information, but this information is not effective use yet. The evaluation method of collision risk is one of the cause disturb. Usually the collision risk of ship is evaluated by the value of the Closest Point of Approach (CPA)...

As a result of the advances made within the field of information technology, many complex and cognitively demanding tools have been introduced into modern transportation. For example, smaller high-speed ferries are equipped with video cameras at the back of the ship to support berthing. The captain then has to integrate several video images into a complete picture of the ship’s location, someth...

Under human influence, plants, animals, and microbes are spreading beyond their native ranges faster and farther than ever before. Rates of invasion are increasing worldwide, especially in large aquatic systems (1). Many of these alien species appear to be innocuous, whereas others cause substantive impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human and animal health (2, 3). Effective manag...

The application of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis to formulation of strategy concerned with the safe carriage of bulk liquid chemicals in maritime tankers was examined in this study. A qualitative investigation using SWOT analysis has been implemented successfully for ships that are designed to carry liquid chemicals in bulk. The originality of this study lies ...

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which occurred between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, displaced Africans people of African descent into New World. trade affected influenced several aspects world economy, boosting economies participating countries creating what would become diaspora. While elements have gained recognition in scholarship, ships, as single most important medium transporta...

Ships, which are the essential elements of maritime transportation, have an indispensable role in world freight and passenger transportation. Besides sea routes, played by ships inland water transport is also very important. In addition to these important economic effects, a major pollutant source. These emissions negative effects on human health, cities, environment, as well causing atmospheri...

Maritime cabotage is a legislation published by a particular coastal country, which is used to conduct the cargo transportation between its two domestic ports. This paper proposes a two-phase mathematical programming model to formulate the liner hub-and-spoke shipping network design problem subject to the maritime cabotage legislations, i.e., the hub location and feeder allocation problem for p...

Logistics cost, the cost of moving feedstock or products, is a key component of the overall cost of recovering energy from biomass. In this study, we calculate for small- and large-project sizes, the relative cost of transportation by truck, rail, ship, and pipeline for three biomass feedstocks, by truck and pipeline for ethanol, and by transmission line for electrical power. Distance fixed cos...
