The maritime domain has the goal to harmonize heterogeneous systems and integrate new approaches into existing structures. In this paper we discuss the need for architectural methodology to overcome the challenge to coordinate the development of new systems considering technology issues, governance aspects and users between existing architectures in the maritime domain. We introduce already app...

This paper sheds light on Maritime Education and Competence Development which has been investigated in various studies, both within and outside Europe. However, the topic is under-researched and stil l in need of attention, in order to ensure that competences are aligned with technological advancements and the needs that exist in a contemporary maritime industry. It is furthermore paramount tha...

Laser beam propagation in maritime environment is particularly challenging, not only for scattering and absorption due to high humidity, but also for a different behavior of atmospheric turbulence with respect to terrestrial propagation. Recently, a new power spectrum for the fluctuations of the refractive index in the Earth’s atmosphere has been introduced to describe maritime atmospheric turb...

Maritime search and rescue (MSRIn the maritime publications, the abbreviation for search and rescue is also SAR. Here we use MSR to distinguish it from the abbreviation for Synthetic Aperture Radar.) became an enormous task with the vast growth of marine transportation and other marine activities. In the year of 2006, the MSR centers and maritime authorities in China organized and coordinated 1...

Maritime domain security relies on the ability to build a comprehensive awareness of maritime activity. Although it is still in the developmental stages situational awareness is the prerequisite of maritime domain security. Today technological developments such as space‐based systems, over‐the‐horizon radar, and near‐ shore and harbour acoustics can be incorporated into...

Maritime transport is the foundation of global supply chain connections and economic development with shipping ports estimated to manage more than 80 per cent world merchandise trade by volume over 90 value, according United Nation Conference on Trade Development (UNCTAD) 2020. Consequently, when severed covid-19 pandemic occur, there are absolute disruption networks which hugely undermined int...
