  2. 6. Safety within the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Domain. Understanding the role of the VTS for safety within maritime traffic management

    Author : Gesa Praetorius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; maritime safety; safety construction; traffic management; Vessel Traffic Service VTS ;

    Abstract : Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) is a shore-sided service implemented to promote the safety of navigation, safety of life at sea, and the protection of the marine environment. Its purpose is to work for safe and fluent traffic movements within a determined area, a VTS area. READ MORE

  4. 7. Complexity and Ambivalence in Ship Safety Inspection : The view of Swedish Port state control officers

    Author : Fredrik Hjorth; Carl Hult; Ulf Drugge; Michael Baldauf; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Inspection; Port state control; Detention; Deprofessionalization; Compliance; Maritime safety; Profession; Bureaucracy; Sjöfartsvetenskap; Maritime Science;

    Abstract : Despite an extensive system of Port state controls (PSC) on ships, inspection loopholes in European control functions have been reported. Furthermore, risk factors associated with fatigue, stress and a poorly developed safety culture on board ships have been identified in earlier research. READ MORE

  5. 8. Towards 6 Degrees of Freedom Seakeeping Simulations Using a Fully Nonlinear Potential Flow Method

    Author : Francesco Coslovich; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ship Motions; Added Resistance; Boundary Element Method; Fully Nonlinear Potential Flow; Seakeeping;

    Abstract : In recent years, the International Maritime Organization introduced a new set of rules in order to try to reduce emissions of ships by improving their efficiency. To assess the energy efficiency of a new ship, the regulations require to estimate the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), which represent the amount of Carbon Dioxide produced per mile in relation to the amount of cargo carried, and verify that it is smaller than a prescribed value.

  6. 9. Offshore deployments of marine energy converters

    Author : Maria Angeliki Chatzigiannakou; Irina Temiz; Mats Leijon; Tony Lewis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : offshore deployments; risk assessment; wave energy converter installation; marine current energy converter installation; economic efficiency; time efficiency; offshore operations; point absorber; hydrodynamic analysis; slack sling criterion; hoisting system failure.;

    Abstract : The depletion warning of non-renewable resources, such as gas, coal and oil, and the imminent effects of climate change turned the attention to clean and fossil fuel-free generated electricity. University research groups worldwide are studying solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and ocean energy harvesting. READ MORE

  7. 10. Designing for Safe Maritime Navigation. Studying Control Processes for Bridge Teams

    Abstract : Several technological advances have been seen the maritime domain to achieve higher operational efficiency and to address the generally recognised causes of most maritime accidents. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) endorses the use of best available technology to “drive continuous improvement and innovation in the facilitation of maritime traffic” in line with the goal of sustainable development.
