Cybersecurity risks present a growing concern in the maritime industry, especially due to fast development of digitalised technologies, also vis-à-vis autonomous shipping. Research on cybersecurity is receiving increased attention. This paper aims assess sector and improve safety at sea coastal areas. First, we identify all concerned cyber threats based literature review expert opinion. A novel risk assessment framework threats, which combines Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) with...

The novel depth-sensing system presented here revolutionizes structured light (SL) technology by employing metasurfaces and photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) for efficient facial recognition in monocular depth-sensing. Unlike conventional dot projectors relying on diffractive optical elements (DOEs) collimators, our projects approximately 45,700 infrared dots from a compact 297-μm-dimention metasurface, drastically more spots (1.43 times) smaller (233 than the DOE-based...

Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) face regulatory challenges, with some suggesting that the existing Collision Regulations (COLREG) present linguistic barriers for autonomous vessels' development and implementation. While academic research has focused on developing collision avoidance (CA), it is producing inconsistent results compared to conventional navigation practices. This study aims identify trends weaknesses in recent studies CA MASS by conducting a systematic review analysis...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore and analyse the risks in container shipping operations from a logistics perspective. In paper, associated with three flows − information, physical, payment flow are identified analysed. Design/methodology/approach use case study method was first explained justified. Second, risk identification started supporting references, several interviews were then conducted identify validate potential operations. A questionnaire deployed collect related...

This study uses Kaohsiung Port as a case to evaluate the relationships between port security quality, service customer satisfaction, and loyalty. For this purpose, survey was conducted with shipping companies freight forwarders in Taiwan. The results indicate that quality has direct positive impact on both satisfaction; satisfaction loyalty; However, from is more significant than of quality. Accordingly, suggests should concentrate improving its order enhance

This article determines the quality factors which improve satisfaction of logistics services, and specific evaluation items that customers value. Moreover, this study verifies moderating effect consumers on perceived importance last-mile its impact service satisfaction. Through a literature review, conceptual model is determined, measurement scales are developed. Furthermore, we collect data through online surveys employ structural equation modeling, hierarchical regression analysis,...

Recent maritime cybersecurity accidents reveal that shipping is facing increased exposure to cyber threats, especially due the fast-growing digitalisation of sector, leaving vessels and their onboard systems vulnerable cyberattacks. This research aims at evaluating relationship among critical dimensions influencing performance in industry. To achieve this, six related preparedness are first identified through literature review, namely 'regulations', 'company procedures' from a managerial...

Maritime terrorist accidents have a significant low-frequency-high-consequence feature and, thus, require new research to address the associated inherent uncertainty and scarce literature in field. This article aims develop novel method for maritime security risk analysis. It employs real accident data from attacks over past two decades train data-driven Bayesian network (DDBN) model. The findings help pinpoint key contributing factors, scrutinize their interdependencies, ascertain...

The distinctive features of maritime infrastructures present significant challenges in terms security.Disruptions to the normal functioning any part transportation can have wide-ranging consequences at both national and international levels, making it an attractive target for malicious attacks.Within this context, integration digitalization technological advancements seaports, vessels other elements exposes them cyber threats.In response critical challenge, paper aims formulate a novel...

Metasurfaces, a catalog of optical components, offer numerous novel functions on demand. They have been integrated with vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) in previous studies. However, the performance has limited by features VCSELs such as low output power and large divergence angle. Although solution module VCSEL array could solve these issues, practical application is extra lens size. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate reconstruction holographic images using compact...

Purpose Container shipping companies face various risks with different consequences that are required to be mitigated. Limited empirical research has been done on identifying and evaluating risk management strategies in operations consequences. This paper aims identify the appropriate mitigation evaluate relative importance of these strategies. Design/methodology/approach Literature review interviews were used validate container operations. A questionnaire a Likert five-point scale was then...

Modification of the physiochemical properties titanium surfaces using glow discharge plasma (GDP) and fibronectin coating has been shown to enhance surface hydrophilicity, roughness, cell adhesion, migration, proliferation. This in vivo study aimed evaluate bone integration efficacy a biologically modified implant surface. Two different surface-modified implants (Ar-GDP GDP-fib) were placed mandibular premolar area six beagle dogs for 2-8 weeks. Three techniques [histologic evaluation,...

In a 2019 European Commission report, the Blue Economy (BE) within United Kingdom (UK) represented 22% of Union's (EU) BE Gross Value Added (GVA) at approximately €39 billion. Coupled with clear value to UK, there is an urgent need innovate and develop technologies decarbonise advance sector. A deeper understanding current position for multiple stakeholders must be considered before any major governmental or long-term strategy decisions can made. This paper presents perspective academic,...

This paper empirically evaluates the crucial dimensions of logistics skill requirements and their discrepancy for operation first line employees from industrial academic perspectives. Factor analysis was employed to identify business factors in Taiwan. ANOVA then conducted analyse difference perception between international service providers (LSPs) academics. Research findings suggest that communication is perceived as most important skill, followed by customer strategy management computer...

Enhancing the competitive advantage of international logistics industry is vital for a country. While most literature addresses individual organisations from resource-based view, relatively few studies assess various governmental influences on providing to industry. Drawing institutional theory and this study empirically identifies critical drivers that affect in From initial findings review relevant literature, infrastructure, technology, integration, regulation as main drivers. Empirical...
