Due to the large volume of data related to vessels, to manually pore through and to analyze the information in a bid to identify potential maritime threat is tedious, if at all possible. This study aims to enhance maritime situational awareness through the use of computational intelligence techniques in detecting anomalies. A knowledge discovery system based on genetic algorithm termed as GeMAS...

This article aims to reveal the competition issues in maritime transport and harmonization of arrangements between EU Turkey. The process is examined by comparing relevant provisions law, namely Article 101 102 TFEU 4 6 Law on Protection Competition No. 4054. cartel infringement prohibits companies from determining common economic practices that are potentially harmful ultimate consumers. abuse...

A survey of the safety culture and hazard risk perception has been carried out involving 77 maritime pilots around Australia and New Zealand, representing more than 20% of the maritime pilots in each country, in proportional geographic districbution.

Priorities for improving maritime health, and hence the allocation of resources to them, should depend on estimates of the frequency and severity of health risks and on estimates of the effectiveness of the available interventions in reducing the impact of illness and injury. They need to address two questions: ‘what matters?’ (the risks) and ‘what works? (the interventions). Much current marit...

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of maritime transportation instability on international trade instability based on wavelet smoothing and spatial panel data econometric method during the period 1990-2012. The results showed that the spatial effects have an impact on international trade instability. So that a sudden 100 percent increase in international trade in the nei...

This paper discusses the technical challenges in maritime image processing and machine vision problems for video streams generated by cameras. Even well documented problems of horizon detection and registration of frames in a video are very challenging in maritime scenarios. More advanced problems of background subtraction and object detection in video streams are very challenging. Challenges a...

Abstract Hospital ships are vessels that designed or equipped and primarily used to provide medical surgical treatment nursing care for sick in-jured people at sea. Under the law of sea maritime law, such ves-sels not dealt with separately. Therefore, their status respective rules applicable them depend on entities operating them.

Ocean transport to international trade is very important in Taiwan. The direct shipping opened between Taiwan and China in 2008 and the rising of e-commerce business increases the volumes of cargoes between cross-strait. The communications between Taiwan and China have become more frequently. That is why the “maritime express” appeared. Comparison with air express, maritime express has an advan...
