This article is devoted to the problem of protecting reservoirs from pollution by petroleum products contained in ship's bilge water formed during operation inland navigation vessels. Despite current experience, this has not yet found any effective solution. The installations used do always reliably provide required degree purification, and, addition, many vessels have possibility placing for p...

The automatic identification system (AIS) and video cameras have been widely exploited for vessel traffic surveillance in inland waterways. AIS data could provide identity dynamic information on position movements. In contrast, the describe visual appearances of moving vessels without knowing identity, position, movements, etc. To further improve surveillance, it becomes necessary to fuse simul...

Ship movement in narrow intertidal waterways generate complex hydrodynamics and sediment resuspension along with tides. In order to investigate the induced concentration, field measurements were performed at Falta stretch of Hooghly river, India. The low frequency primary waves high secondary are dominant this region as ships navigate subcritical range due river bathymetry. time-frequency analy...

In recent years a great deal of research efforts in ship hydromechanics have been devoted to practical navigation problems in moving larger ships safely into existing harbours and inland waterways and to ease congestion in existing shipping routes. The starting point of any navigational or design analysis lies in the accurate determination of the hydrodynamic forces generated on the ship hull m...

South America has been developed from its coast to hinterlands since the beginning of Western colonization. However, this point, no significant effort made integrate interior. Waterways transportation can be considered most sustainable inland mode due low CO2 emissions per ton cargo transport. With in mind, paper investigates history, challenges and opportunities past proposals for construction...

Abstract The worldwide increasing number of national guidelines and growing experience with realized green bank protections (constructions using insofar possible living or at least wooden construction material) in navigable waters, led to install a PIANC INCOM Working Group (WG) collect condense expert knowledge this field work prepare it for practitioners design purposes. corresponding report,...
