The tenth anniversary of e-Navigation

Unmanned Ships: Navigation and More

“…Then they are easily tracked by the radar and follow a predefined route. A number of completed and ongoing IMO projects on e-navigation [43] such as EfficienSea, ACCSEAS, MonaLisa, SMART Navigation, SESAME, and STM analyze these routes and optimize their efficiency and safety. The route exchange helps to estimate the ship intentions long before it enters the zone regulated by COLREGs.…”

Collision and Contact – Analysis of Accidents at Sea

“…Avoiding accidents at sea, including collisions and contacts, requires a combination of proper navigation practices, effective communication, and adherence to established regulations and procedures [78][79][80][81][82]. In addition to taking steps to avoid accidents at sea, there are several mitigation strategies and actions taken to reduce the impact or consequences of a collision or a contact once it has occurred.…”

Monte Carlo Simulation Approach to Shipping Accidents Consequences Assessment

“…After selecting the initial state and the next state, the time for staying in the state (sojourn time) can be generated randomly from a given distribution function. In other words, first a pseudo-random number g is drawn by a computer program and the initial state is generated according to (3). Then, the program draws another pseudo-random number g and generates a next state according to (4).…”

“…On the one hand, it is less dangerous to the environment than other means. On the other hand, constantly increasing traffic causes the risk of navigation hazards, despite the use of sophisticated supervising systems [1][2][3][4] and, consequently, the environmental impact of oil and other chemical releases [5][6][7]. Fortunately, despite the increase in transport intensity, the number of shipping accidents has decreased in recent decades [7].…”
