The prototypes of unmanned merchant vessels are expected to come into service within the coming years. main line argument supporting their introduction pertains increase in navigational safety, which is be achieved by reducing frequency human-related accidents on board ships, removing crews. On other hand, response ship potential still uncertain. With enthusiasm one side and apprehension other, literature lacks an objective study effect ships safety maritime transportation. This paper...

Maritime accidents involving ships carrying passengers may pose a high risk with respect to human casualties. For effective mitigation, an insight into the process of escalation is needed. This requires proactive approach when it comes modelling for maritime transportation systems. Most existing models are based on historical data accidents, and thus they can be considered reactive instead proactive. paper introduces systematic, transferable framework estimating systems, meeting requirements...

This paper presents a big data analytics method for the evaluation of ship-ship collision risk in real operational conditions. The approach makes use from Automatic Identification System (AIS) and nowcast corresponding to time-dependent traffic situations hydro-meteorological conditions respectively. An Avoidance Behavior-based Collision Detection Model (ABCD-M) is introduced identify potential scenarios Risk Indices (CRIs) are quantified when evasive actions taken each detected scenario...

Ship groundings may often lead to damages resulting in oil spills or ship flooding and subsequent capsizing. Risks can be estimated qualitatively through experts' judgment quantitatively the analysis of maritime traffic data. Yet, studies using big data remain limited. In this paper, we present a analytics method for evaluation grounding risk real environmental conditions. The makes use streams from Automatic Identification System (AIS), nowcast data, seafloor depth General Bathymetric Chart...

As the initiatives to develop and implement autonomous merchant vessels into global shipping industry are gaining momentum, their safety remains in spotlight. It is argued that every effort shall be taken ensure of maritime transportation not reduced process, but question how achieve it open. Meanwhile, systemic approach more widely being used analyse innovative systems' safety. We therefore apply a System-Theoretic Process Analysis model suitable for analysis design recommendations'...

Winter navigation is a complex but common operation in the Northern Baltic Sea areas. In Finnish waters, safety of wintertime maritime transportation system managed through Finnish–Swedish winter system. This results different operational modes ship navigation, with vessels either navigating independently or under icebreaker assistance. A recent risk analysis indicates that during assistance, convoys operations are among most hazardous, convoy collisions important events. While accident...
