Maritime wireless mesh networks (MWMNs) are conceived to provide network connectivity for maritime users and enable them to communicate with correspondent users connected to terrestrial communication networks. The high cost and low data-rate of satellite and other legacy maritime communication technologies and systems deployed in MWMNs pose major limitation to establish reliable and affordable ...

In this work the management of truck arrivals in a maritime terminal is investigated as possible strategy to be used for obtaining a reduction in congestion and gate queues. In particular, a non-mandatory Truck Appointment System (TAS) is considered. Inspired by the work of Zehedner and Feillet 2013, we propose a multi-commodity network flow model for representing a maritime terminal. We solve ...

This paper proposes a simulation model to analyze the handling and the transfer system of containers in Le Havre seaport. The decision variables of simulation are determined by using the CPLEX optimization software. The goal is to determine the least expensive strategy for the transfer of a set of containers between container terminals. The simulation model is developed using an object-oriented...

The International Maritime Organization has determined that more than 80% of maritime accidents are caused by human error. A variety of methods have been considered to reduce maritime accidents caused by such human error. Navigators operate by observing surrounding maritime situations and analyzing information using various navigational devices. This study proposes a system to ensure safe navig...

Marine rights protection and law enforcement personnel are the main actors in practice of maritime enforcement, quality training is directly related to China's ability response level. It an important guarantee for realization strategic goal building a power basic requirement fulfilling responsibilities great build contingent Chinese that commensurate with international status national interests...

THE CUSTOMER: CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION Our company, Crowley Maritime Corporation (CMC), was ready for a DASD acquisition. CMC’s holding companies comprise t h e world’s largest diversified maritime services organization. DASD acquisition was almost an annual event in that the strategy was to keep three generations of storage on the floor and rotate out the oldest generation with the next DA...

Maritime transportation is the most efficient and cost-effective mode of transport. With the appropriate use of advanced technology, the efficiency of the industry can be improved even further. Information systems for the maritime industry have been generally ignored by the IS community. Consequently, we introduce “Maritime Informatics” as a new stream to introduce IS scholars to the many resea...

e-Maritime can be considered as an extension of the e-Navigation concept currently being discussed at the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It can be construed to include e-Navigation and promotes the use of all maritime data and information, distributed by way of information and communication technologies, to facilitate maritime transportation and provide value added services. This pa...

Understanding the complete human influence on maritime space has the central position in the planning process. Maritime spatial planning logically connects on integral planning of coastal area. Applying integral management on coastal and maritime area, together with the establishment of the process of maritime spatial planning makes the coupling regarding managing of the resources; all that is ...

In the paper the Author describes the general concept of a Universal Maritime Data Model (UMDM) a common representation of all data objects and relationships occurring in the maritime domain. Implementation of IMO’s e-Navigation strategy leads to a larger variety and higher volume of information and increased information exchange due to globalization. Consequently there is a need to handle info...
