Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is the process of public developing a plan for allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in marine areas. The constant increase in marine traffic and the simultaneous growth of the demand for installing offshore wind power plants require an adequate planning strategy and effective monitoring and surveillance solutions for managing the t...

INTRODUCTION Prehospital maritime transportation in northern areas sets high demands on hypothermia prevention. To prevent body cooling and hypothermia of seriously-ill or injured casualties during transportation, casualty coverings must provide adequate thermal insulation and protection against cold, wind, moisture, and water splashes. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the the...

ship exhaust emission inventories and their associated externalities constitute valuableinformation resources towards policy making and management of the influence exerted by shipping on airquality. to this extent, the container terminal at the greek port of piraeus by virtue of its shipping significanceand its urbanised character was selected in order to provide an estimation of the emissions ...

Simulator-based training in maritime education is a highly structured and technological advanced learning activity. By analyzing video recordings of exercises in a navigation course, the study specifically explores: a) the use of different tools and technologies in maritime training, and b) how the instruction shapes and are shaped by the temporal organization of the events. The results highlig...

Remote detection and characterization of laser beams propagating in maritime atmospheres is discussed. A model for off-axis scattered laser light based on Mie scattering from maritime aerosols is presented and compared with angle and time-resolved measurements from a pulsed laser source. We demonstrate that the direction of the source can be determined from the angle-resolved intensity and that...

The maritime transportation sector is one of the main contributors to global emissions greenhouse gases (GHGs). International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted a strategy reduce these from international shipping >50% by 2050, compared 2008’s emissions. Therefore, ship owners need adopt solutions bring within and other future limits means environmentally friendly fuels (hydrogen or hydr...
