“…J. Wang et al (2014) showed that the monsoonal climate and tropical cyclones decrease the safety for ships in the South China Sea, which results in fewer ships after May. Besides the influence of weather, the different summer moratorium of fishing in these areas is possibly another reason for the difference in the peak month of emissions.…”

By applying an inversion algorithm to NOx satellite observations from Ozone Monitoring Instrument, monthly NOx emissions for a 10 year period (2007 to 2016) over Chinese seas are presented for the first time. No effective regulations on NOx emissions have been implemented for ships in China, which is reflected in the trend analysis of maritime emissions. The maritime emissions display a continuous increase rate of about 20% per year until 2012 and slow down to 3% after that. The seasonal cycle of shipping emissions has regional variations, but all regions show lower emissions during winter. Simulations by an atmospheric chemistry transport model show a notable influence of maritime emissions on air pollution over coastal areas, especially in summer. The satellite‐derived spatial distribution and the magnitude of maritime emissions over Chinese seas are in good agreement with bottom‐up studies based on the Automatic Identification System of ships.

“…Notable studies in shipping industry are registry selection (Kandakoglu, Celik & Akgun, ), appraisal of maritime regulations (Karahalios, Yang, Williams & Wang, ), human reliability of ship operations (Ung et al., ), design support evaluation for the offshore industry (Sii & Wang, ) and selection of Nigerian ports regarding service quality (Ugboma, Ibe & Ogwude, ). More recent studies involving AHP include assessing weights of contributing factors in a waterway safety assessment (Wang, Li, Liu, Zhang, Zou & Cheng, ), and selecting parameters to include in a collision alert system (Goerlandt, Montewka, Kuzmin & Kujala, ). More details for AHP are presented in Appendix .…”

This study highlights the hazards associated with the development of a fire onboard a ship, with respect to the decision‐making alternatives of its captain. In this context, a risk assessment methodology is proposed, using the AHP method, to identify the expected hazards, caused by a fire in the engine room of a ship, as a part of a contingency planning. An analysis of 77 casualties, revealed that ships aged over 15 years and/or designed to carry RO‐RO cargoes, containers, or passengers, have a relatively high frequency of fire events in their engine rooms. Furthermore, the element of time was found to be a factor, which affects the human behaviour of the captain of a ship, as fire growths.

“…The South China Sea (SCS) is a large, semi-enclosed, tropical, marginal sea, and it extends from 23 • N to 3 • S and from 102 • E to 121 • E in the tropical and subtropical western Pacific Ocean, as shown in Figure 4. The SCS has an area of 3.3 million km 2 excluding the gulfs of Thailand and Tonkin, and it is bordered by the Chinese mainland and Taiwan to the north, the Philippines to the east, Vietnam to the west, and Brunei, Singapore, and Malaysia to the south [45]. It connects with the eastern part of the China Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean through the Taiwan Straits, the Straits of Malacca, and the Luzon Straits, respectively [46].…”

Maritime search and rescue (SAR) operations are critical for ensuring safety at sea. Islands have been considered as feasible solutions for the construction of new maritime SAR bases to improve the capacity of SAR operations in remote sea areas. This paper proposes a new framework, based on island spatial information, for determining the optimal locations for maritime SAR bases. The framework comprises four steps. First, candidate islands for the construction of maritime SAR bases are selected. Second, the potential rescue demand is estimated by employing ship location data and marine incident data. In the third step, the response time from candidate islands to any site at sea is calculated, with explicit consideration of the impact of sea conditions on the ship’s speed. Fourth, the final island locations are proposed by solving the maximal covering location problem (MCLP). The proposed framework was applied to the South China Sea. The results showed that there would be a decrease of 1.09 h in terms of the mean access time for the South China Sea if the six selected island bases were constructed, whilst the primary coverage increased from 62.63% to 80.02% when using a 6-hour threshold. This new framework is expected to contribute to improvements in safety at sea and should be applicable to any sea area where the construction of island rescue bases is being considered.
