Mr. Chairmen and Members: We are pleased to be here today to discuss challenges in defining the federal role with respect to freight transportation issues. There are concerns that the projected increases in freight tonnage for all transportation modes will place pressures on the marine, aviation, and highway transportation systems. As a result, there is growing awareness of the need to view var...

this paper assesses the design guidelines of different classification codes for the liquefied natural gas carriers considering the effect of liquid sloshing. with regard the increasing importance of lng carriers in today’s marine transportation, and also considering that the marine accidents involve significant loss, classification societies by regulating national and international standards ai...

In a risk analysis, we identify the causes that could lead to unwanted events/outcomes. We introduce barriers will reduce probabilities of such events and also mitigate consequences events. Regarding Arctic marine transportation challenges, greater attention should be paid communicating all work is undertaken enhance safety limit environmental footprint sailing along Northern Sea Route. Trainin...

This paper elaborates the human factors in ship management, and analyzes Liveware-Liveware interface and LivewareEnvironment interface based upon the SHEL model. And the measures to reduce human error in marine transport has also been proposed. This paper also has made systematic analysis on the complexity of Shipping Transportation System, construct system model, and analyzes Synergy Mechanism...
