“…These include, for example, long‐term beach erosion due to changes in the long‐shore sediment transport (which is also affected by changes in the mean wave direction), increased risk of the collapse of coastal cliffs, wave‐driven damage, and overtopping over structures (Frederick et al., 2016; Sierra & Casas‐Prat, 2014). There is also need to assess how the projected changes in wave extremes might affect safety and operation of shipping routes as high waves reduce the effective ship speed (e.g., Grifoll et al., 2018). In addition, other coastal key drivers such as permafrost degradation, storm surge, and relative sea level rise (RSLR) might pose an additional thread to coastal communities and activities (Marcos et al., 2019; Vousdoukas et al., 2019).…”

The Arctic Ocean wave climate is undergoing a dramatic change due to the sea ice retreat. This study presents simulations of the Arctic regional wave climate corresponding to the surface winds and sea ice concentrations as simulated by five CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) climate models for the historical (1975–2005) and RCP8.5 scenario future (2081–2100) periods. The annual maximum significant wave height is projected to increase up to 6 m offshore and up to two to three times greater than the corresponding 1979–2005 value along some coastlines, as waves become more exposed to the fall storms there. The connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic wave climates is projected to strengthen due to increase of swell influence. Changes in the wave direction also seem to indicate a weakening of the Beaufort High illustrated by a counterclockwise rotation of the mean wave direction for extreme conditions in the Western Arctic. The projected changes in wave conditions lead to a general increase of the wave‐driven erosion and inundation potential along the Arctic coastlines. Potentially, hazardous extreme wave events are projected to become significantly more frequent and more intense. For example, in the Beaufort coastlines a once‐in‐20‐year event under the historical (1979–2005) climate is projected to occur, on average, once every 2–5 years during 2081–2100. This is a pressing issue, as it affects many Arctic coastal communities, as well as existing and emerging Arctic infrastructure and activities, with some of them having already suffered severe wave‐induced damage in the past years.

“…For instance, [50] employed Label-Setting Algorithm in a study to conclude the optimum ways for daughter and mother ships, along with the best size of the daughter ships. [41] Employed Path finding Algorithm in ship routing and revealed the economic profits of spending ship routing in SSS through enthusiastic wave periods. Contrarily, [40] employed Algorithm and Meteo-Oceanographic Predications to come out with the predictions of ship routing from a European perspective.…”

This study examines in what way SSS) has been researched through an inclusive review of papers published in well-known journals over the 2002–2019 period. Systematic exploration shows that Maritime Policy and Management plays a dominant role in publishing SSS research. At the same time, classification and identification of important on determinants and barriers for successful SSS has been found as the main research area, followed by attractiveness and competitiveness of SSS; policy and subsidizations in SSS and multimodal transportation network; energy efficiency, emission and environmental issue and protection; ports and transport system efficiency; cargo operations, inventory management, competitive SSS technology and ICT; potential demand, opportunity and competitive advantage; sustainable development and influence of meteorological and weather conditions on SSS operations as popular topics. Since 2002, the use of quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques has progressively increased in SSS in order to help researchers make decisions through selected scientific methods. With this work, present and prospective researchers can understand the contemporary development and popular research topics in SSS. By presenting a review on the common research instruments and techniques used in SSS research, this study is expected to seal the gap in the present literature through the collation of information on the research approaches in contemporary SSS studies.

“…Weather conditions affect the ship's safety and its ability to follow the route. Taking the weather into account not only helps to avoid negative effects on the ship [35,41] but also reduces the economical costs of a voyage by reducing the travel time and fuel consumption [16,43]. Therefore, the ability to take weather conditions into account is essential for the route planning system [17,23,38].…”

This paper is dedicated to an overview of components of an onboard control system of an autonomous ship. This system controls and operates the ship. Therefore, this system needs to be able to analyze the ship's state, predict its future development and analyze the consequences of its own decisions. The paper focuses on software aspects of the onboard control system, not the hardware. The paper provides an overview of technologies that can be used to implement the components of such a system responsible for planning new routes, handling the ship during the voyage, ensuring its seaworthiness and safety during the voyage, monitoring an autonomous ship from an onshore control centre, ensuring the robustness of the onboard control system, and collective operations of multiple autonomous ships. The paper describes benefits the maritime industry would gain from deploying some of the technologies developed for autonomous ships on ordinary, human-controlled ships. The paper also describes some challenges, especially in the field of automatic decision and reasoning, arising from the emergence of autonomous and smart ships. The main contribution of the paper is that it summarizes existing research in different areas of autonomous ship technology.
