Abstract The study explored the impact of maritime transport financing on trade in South Africa. Using Autoregressive Distribution lag model, we examine total Africa during period 1994 to 2019. results confirm a long and short-run positive relationship between trade. findings suggest an overall, substantial investment has potential promote flows We recommend more investments towards infrastruct...

Maritime transportation is the most efficient and cost-effective mode of transport. With the appropriate use of advanced technology, the efficiency of the industry can be improved even further. Information systems for the maritime industry have been generally ignored by the IS community. Consequently, we introduce “Maritime Informatics” as a new stream to introduce IS scholars to the many resea...

e-Maritime can be considered as an extension of the e-Navigation concept currently being discussed at the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It can be construed to include e-Navigation and promotes the use of all maritime data and information, distributed by way of information and communication technologies, to facilitate maritime transportation and provide value added services. This pa...

Understanding the complete human influence on maritime space has the central position in the planning process. Maritime spatial planning logically connects on integral planning of coastal area. Applying integral management on coastal and maritime area, together with the establishment of the process of maritime spatial planning makes the coupling regarding managing of the resources; all that is ...

Maritime trade was an important part of the Russian-Chinese in second half 19th century. During this period, Voluntary fleet began transporting cargo between Russian and Chinese ports maritime transit system created. Using analysis, article analyzes structure demonstrates model sea 1880s 1890s. The main structural elements were direction which goods transited, conditions for transportation, int...

Maritime transportation is an important industry, with seaborne trade estimated to be up to 85% in terms of weight of total international trade in 2007. Capital investment for ships is substantial, and the operating costs of a ship may range from thousands to tens of thousands of US dollars daily, thus the potential benefits of optimized approaches to fleet planning are significant. Despite thi...

Maritime logistics is referred to as the process of planning, implementing, and managing the movement of goods and information which is involved in the ocean carriage. As a central component of global logistics systems, maritime operators such as shipping lines, port terminal operators and freight forwarders now have to perform both sea transport-related services and other related and wider log...

This paper presents a novel approach for pattern extraction and anomaly detection in maritime vessel traffic, based on the theory of potential fields. Potential fields are used to represent and model normal, i.e. correct, behaviour in maritime transportation, observed in historical vessel tracks. The recorded paths of each maritime vessel generate potentials based on metrics such as geographica...
