While maritime transport ensures about 90% of world trade volumes, it has not yet attracted as much attention as other transport systems from a graph perspective. As a result, the relative situation and the evolution of seaports within maritime networks are not well understood. This paper wishes verifying to what extent the hub-and-spoke strategies of ports and ocean carriers have modified the ...

The Mycetophagidae (hairy fungus beetles) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada are surveyed. Seven species in the genera Mycetophagus, Litargus, and Typhaea are found in the region. Six new provincial records are reported including Mycetophagus punctatus and Mycetophagus flexuosus, whichare newly recorded in the Maritime Provinces.

Maritime safety has a huge impact on the world economy and our everyday lives. The vast majority of world cargo is carried by sea by huge container-carriers. Cargo ships carrying hazardous loads pose serious threats to the environment. The disaster and damage caused in the event of major sea collisions can be difficult and costly to deal with. In our research we took a broad look at the problem...

Maritime shipping containers are important to a number of different industries as they facilitate the reduction of transportation costs. To address the needs of shippers, empty containers need to be repositioned globally between seaports. Since the cost of empty container repositioning (ECR) constitutes a significant element of the total cost of running a global container fleet operation, the p...

An attacker’s ability to covertly control a maritime surface vessel by broadcasting counterfeit civil Global Positioning System (GPS) signals is analyzed and demonstrated. The aim of this work is to explore civil maritime transportation’s vulnerability to deceptive GPS signals. It is shown that, despite access to a variety of high-quality navigation and surveillance sensors, modern maritime nav...

Over the past two decades, maritime transportation and container traffic worldwide has experienced rapid and continuous growth. With the increase in maritime transportation volume, the issue of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission has become one of the new concerns for port managers. Port managers and government agencies for sustainable development of maritime transportation considered "green ports" t...

This paper discusses how pillars in Indonesia’s vision of Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) are interrelated, particularly maritime culture and diplomacy. These two need to be implemented as an entity concept. Previous literatures have mainly discussed each the contribute realization GMF vision. Based on perspectives International Relations theory, this explains can influence formulation strategy i...

Integrated maritime and blue economy policies are changing ocean governance by introducing new policy drivers, reshaping institutional frameworks, as well demanding management instruments (e.g., Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP)). This started in 2007 though the European Union Policy approach, 2009 Africa initiated a similar process, leading both to integrated strategy strategy. Several countries...
