“…The Amphibious AGV also has space for ballast tanks placed over the battery with dimensions of 7.5m x 2.4 m x 1m translating to a capacity of 18000 Litres of Water which can be adjusted corresponding to on-board payloads or even a pontoon puncture as cited by the reviewers. While the author and previous works did not dive into the control system aspect of the Amphibious AGV, the Amphibious AGV is envisioned to function both by itself and in a coordinated control manner akin to the vessel train formation (Chen et al, 2019) and cooperative control (Chen et al, 2020). The subsequent part of this research in phase 4 will discuss the agent-based modelling implementation that links terminals, containers, and transporters such as barges and feeders) with the Amphibious AGV's schedule.…”

Transshipment is a key component of modern-day shipping logistics. Container supply chains rely on tran-shipment hubs to access remote locations. With globalisation driving growth in container trade, maritime congestion is rising at container terminals in ports worldwide. This is expected to worsen as demand con-tinues to grow. This research explores novel maritime equipment designs that can contribute to solving problems in the trans-shipment chain. One such idea is that of the Amphibious Automated Guided Vehicle, an innovative concept that travels on both land and sea. Envisioned as a tool to minimise the rehandling of containers, the Amphibious AGV forms the heart of the new changes that this research proposes for the fu-ture of trans-shipment. Complementing swifter trans-shipment, the research also proposes complementary design concepts such as floating terminals to add more flexibility for container ships and Amphibious AGVs applied to exchange containers offshore. To validate these ideas, an agent-based modelling methodology was used and replicated in the environment of the Hong Kong- Pearl River Delta. This work, therefore, opens up an intriguing future scope for maritime transshipment that is both sustainable and adaptable while also discussing limitations and concerns that need to be carefully considered.

“…According to statistics, 70% of accidents are related to the bad ship skills of the drivers in the port [2,31], and thus ship motion control is of vital importance to the berthing operation. In the traditional berthing process, ship control is a complicated system with multi-input sources and multi-output terminals.…”

Automatic berthing is at the top level of ship autonomy; it is unwise and hasty to hand over the control initiative to the controller and the algorithm without the foundation of the maneuvering model. The berthing maneuver model predicts the ship responses to the steerage and external disturbances, and provides a foundation for the control algorithm. The modular MMG model is widely adopted in ship maneuverability studies. However, there are two ambiguous questions on berthing maneuver modeling: What are the similarities and differences between the conventional MMG maneuvering model and automatic berthing maneuvering model? How can an accurate automatic berthing maneuvering model be established? To answer these two questions, this paper firstly performs bibliometric analysis on automatic berthing, to discover the hot issues and emphasize the significance of maneuver modeling. It then demonstrates the similarities and differences between the conventional MMG maneuvering model and the automatic berthing maneuvering model. Furthermore, the berthing maneuver specifications and modeling procedures are explained in terms of the hydrodynamic forces on the hull, four-quadrant propulsion and steerage performances, external disturbances, and auxiliary devices. The conclusions of this work provide references for ship berthing mathematical modeling, auxiliary device utilization, berthing aid system improvement, and automatic berthing control studies.

Promoting autonomous surface ships in inland waterways traffic (IWT) is a potential solution towards reducing road traffic and transport emission footprints. Over the last decade, there has been a growing research on autonomous ships for open waters. However, applying this research to the IWT domain is not straightforward. The IWT, due to its confined waterways, poses a different challenge than the open sea case. Due to the confined waterways, inland ships face several hydrodynamic phenomena that they rarely encountered in the open sea, such as shallow water, banks, or ship-to-ship effects. Furthermore, the higher traffic density in inland waterways also requires a different solution for sensing and control systems. This paper offers an overview of the current developments on autonomous collision avoidance for inland waterway ships that covering different problems of safety navigation for ship in IWT. A short analysis is presented to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. We also discuss the current research gaps and what could be improved to enable the operation of inland autonomous ships.
