This paper proposes the application of the Smart Security Concept in the East Mediterranean. Smart Security aims to secure critical infrastructure, such as hydrocarbon platforms, against asymmetrical threats. The concept is based on Anti Asymmetrical Area Denial (A3D) which necessitates limiting freedom of action of maritime terrorists and piracy by founding safe and secure maritime areas throu...

Do conflicts among naval powers hurt international trade? In theory the commercially relevant aspects of aggressive naval power can either thwart trade (through blockades, embargoes, commerce raiding, and guerre de course strategies) or facilitate trade (through control of trade routes and protection of shipping). Thus the question must be empirically addressed. Using a panel gravity model, we ...

Purpose – The purpose of this exploratory study is to examine the partner selection criteria reported by maritime firms in Norway. The study aims to analyze how a maritime firm’s competitive advantage can be enhanced by the selection of the right partner with reference to a strategic alliance. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple-case study methodology was used. Archival, survey and intervi...

Sea level rise has the potential to influence the location of baselines along the coast from which claims to maritime jurisdiction are made. Accordingly, sea level rise may have adverse impacts on the extent of national maritime claims. This article provides a brief discussion of sea level rise before exploring the link between potentially variable baselines and the outer limits to maritime cla...

(i) (ii) In its Communication of 30 November 2006 on reinforcing the management of the EU's southern maritime borders, the Commission proposed to establish a permanent Coast Patrol Network for the southern maritime external borders and to create a European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR). The European Council in December 2006 considered it a priority to examine the creation of a European S...

—For designing maritime wireless transmission system, the radio propagation over sea surface needs to be known first. One of the distinct characteristics of maritime radio propagation is the impact of ship motions due to the fluctuation of sea waves. This paper establishes a radio propagation model with the integration of the effects of ship motions. Using such an integrated radio propagation ...

Recent rise in maritime piracy prompts the search for novel techniques for addressing the problem. We therefore developed AgentC, a prototype system that demonstrates how agent-based traffic management techniques can be used to improve the security of transit through piracy-affected areas. Combining agent-based modeling and simulation of maritime traffic and novel route planning and vessel sche...

Several distinctive, and initially puzzling features of Nikophon's law on silver coinage (Rhodes/Osborne 25) become clear in light of the Athenian state's attempt to drive down transaction costs in order to maintain Athenian public revenues and private profits in the post-imperial era. I suggest that the law was explicitly intended to even the playing field of trade by ensuring non-citizens acc...
