Abstract:
In restricted visibility, great risk of collision exists between vessels formed a "head-on situation" geometrically. Started with the estimation on this particular situation and based on the requirements in COLREGS and applications of good seamanship, this paper explored the proper avoidance methods. Combined with the practice work at sea, the author collected some data about this special situation. By analyzing these data, the author found some defects in the practice work and gave some reasonable suggestions.

Abstract:
Autonomous ships are gaining in importance and are expected to shape the future of the global shipping industry. This evolutionary shift raises serious issues about compliance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 (COLREGs). This paper reviews the literature on autonomous ships from the perspective of the obligations of good seamanship imposed by COLREGs. The authors conclude that to facilitate the introduction of autonomous ships, the application barriers presented by COLREGs need to be analysed. With this goal, this paper presents a perspective from navigational practice. Four nautical scientists and two deck officers were invited to give their opinions. The analysis indicates that COLREGs require further elaboration and amendments to eliminate uncertainty of interpretation. In particular, the paper highlights the need to amend the ‘look-out’ rule (COLREGs Rule 5) to permit look-out by ‘computer vision’ alone while, at the same time, preserving the distinction between vessels navigating in restricted visibility and in sight of one another.

Abstract:
Abstract Ship collision-avoidance trajectory planning aims at searching for a theoretical safe-critical trajectory in accordance with COLREGs and good seamanship. In this paper, a novel optimal trajectory planning based on hybrid genetic algorithm is presented for ship collision avoidance in the open sea. The proposed formulation is established based on the theory of the Multiple Genetic Algorithm (MPGA) and Nonlinear Programming, which not only overcomes the inherent deficiency of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for premature convergence, but also guarantees the practicality and consistency of the optimal trajectory. Meanwhile, the encounter type as well as the obligation of collision avoidance is determined according to COLREGs, which is then considered as the restricted condition for the operation of population initialization. Finally, this trajectory planning model is evaluated with a set of test cases simulating various traffic scenarios to demonstrate the feasibility and superiority of the optimal trajectory.

Abstract:
In this article, a ship manoeuvrability-based simulation for ship navigation in collision situations is established. Under the general requirement from the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) and good seamanship, the determination of encounter situations is quantified to reduce navigators’ intervention. Meanwhile, the action manner by course alteration or changing speed in some typical encounter situations is graphically analysed for both the give-way and stand-on vessels. Then, the multiple genetic algorithm and linear extension algorithm are adopted to perform trajectory planning for collision avoidance. To improve the reliability of the simulation system, the mathematical model of ship motion and ship manoeuvring control mechanism are adopted, which can eliminate the insufficiency of neglect of ship manoeuvrability in the process of collision avoidance. Meanwhile, the course encoding technique is adopted to fit the ship manoeuvring control mechanism. Finally, a set of traffic scenarios emulating different encounter situations are applied to demonstrate the effectiveness, consistency, and practicality of this system.

Abstract:
Most maritime accidents are caused by human errors or failures. Providing early warning and decision support to the officer on watch (OOW) is one of the primary issues to reduce such errors and failures. In this paper, a quantitative real-time multi-ship collision risk analysis and collision avoidance decision-making model is proposed. Firstly, a multi-ship real-time collision risk analysis system was established under the overall requirements of the International Code for Collision Avoidance at Sea (COLREGs) and good seamanship, based on five collision risk influencing factors. Then, the fuzzy logic method is used to calculate the collision risk and analyze these elements in real time. Finally, decisions on changing course or changing speed are made to avoid collision. The results of collision avoidance decisions made at different collision risk thresholds are compared in a series of simulations. The results reflect that the multi-ship collision avoidance decision problem can be well-resolved using the proposed multi-ship collision risk evaluation method. In particular, the model can also make correct decisions when the collision risk thresholds of ships in the same scenario are different. The model can provide a good collision risk warning and decision support for the OOW in real-time mode.

Abstract:
The Solent is that stretch of seaway separating the Hampshire Dorset coast from the Isle of Wight. It is one of the busiest sea routes in the United Kingdom. Approximately 134 shipping movements take place weekly into the Docks and Naval Base at Portsmouth, the Docks and Ocean Terminal in Southampton and the nearby Esso Oil Refinery. During the height of the summer season there are numerous local Ferry Services to and from the mainland and the Isle of Wight, which is a popular summer resort, and at weekends as many as 35,000 pleasure craft may be afloat. Major collision is rare and reflects the high standard of seamanship, local pilotage and strict port control, but the possibility of disaster is ever present in such a congested seaway.To meet this eventuality the Solent and Southampton Water Marine Emergency Plan was developed from preexisting Southampton and Portsmouth schemes in the early 1960's. Since that time it has been put into action on three occasions for episodes of fire at sea, with good effect.

Abstract:
Recognizing ship behavior is important for maritime situation awareness and intelligent transportation management. Some scholars extracted ship behaviors from massive trajectory data by statistical analysis. However, the meaning of the behaviors, i.e., semantic meanings of behaviors and their relationships, are not explicit. Ship behaviors are affected by navigational area and traffic rules, so their meanings can be obtained only in specific maritime situations. The work establishes the semantic model of ship behavior (SMSB) to represent and reason the meaning of the behaviors. Firstly, a semantic network is built based on maritime traffic rules and good seamanship. The corresponding detection methods are then proposed to identify basic ship behaviors in various maritime scenes, including dock, anchorage, traffic lane, and general scenes. After that, dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) is used to reason potential ship behaviors. Finally, trajectory annotation and semantic query of the model are validated in the different scenes of harbor. The basic behaviors and potential behaviors in all typical scenes of any harbor can be obtained accurately and expressed conveniently using the proposed model. The model facilitates the ships behavior research, contributing to the semantic trajectory analysis.

Abstract:
Heavy cargo units with a relatively reduced footprint area require a support surface large enough to transfer the forces onto the largest possible surface and/or the main stiffening (longitudinal and transverse) in order to not collapse or overstress the ship’s structure and, consequently, put the ship, the cargo, and the crew at risk. For that reason, it is necessary to project stowage and securing systems (including bedding design) to ensure that, by applying the principles of good seamanship and securing practices, the shipment is maintained in a safe condition throughout the trip until destination port arrival. Despite the increase in project cargo shipments in recent years, in many cases, International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations are followed by default. The main purpose of this paper, thus, is to highlight certain shipments for which IMO guidelines should be taken into account in future revisions. This is done through what was considered innovative project cargo on a particular ship due to its special characteristics. To this end, because of limitations found in the IMO CSS Code regarding acceleration and force calculations, it was necessary to resort to the internationally accepted guidelines of one of the strictest classification societies.

Abstract:
Safe navigation in restricted waters continues to be a perennial concern for shipowners, operators, navigators, and citizens. Much research has been conducted in order to determine the most efficient and effective methods for improving the safety of navigation and for training ships' officers and pilots. Decision aids improving the safety of navigation and supporting the cognitive skills of piloting—maneuvering, collision avoidance, and the practice of good seamanship—are of substantial interest. These decision aids can be standalone systems or embedded within an integrated bridge system or electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS), and can exhibit the properties of a real time knowledge-based control system. Following the March 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) began the development of a real time expert system, the Shipboard Piloting Expert System (SPES). This real time expert system was developed as an embedded intelligent software module within the ExxBridge integrated bridge system developed for Exxon Shipping Company3 by Sperry Marine, Inc. This paper describes the Shipboard Piloting Expert System, its integration and installation aboard the Exxon Benicia,4and preliminary results of a 20-month operational assessment aboard the Exxon Benicia. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of future directions for the system.

Abstract:
Att argumentera till sjöss med andra sjöfarare tillhör det normala och de flesta har fått höra att de inte agerat på ett sådant sätt som är förenligt med gott sjömanskap. Vad det innebär att förfara med gott sjömanskap är svårt att sätta ord på och kan ha sin förklaring i att begreppet saknar legal definition. Trots det, kan den som inte handlat med gott sjömanskap få fängelsestraff upp till två år om gärningen är grov. Gott sjömanskap har studerats ur det straffrättsliga perspektivet för att klargöra vad domstol anser är att agera med gott sjömanskap. Syftet var att belysa och precisera begreppet och studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ rättsdogmatisk metod där rättsfall, lagtext och propositioner analyserades. Resultatet visar att gott sjömanskap är ett sådant betanden som domstol inte bedömer som ett vårdslöst. Vad som är ett vårdslöst beteende har fastställts på ett antal punkter.
To argue at sea with other seafarers is normal and most people have been told that they did not act accordingly to good seamanship. What it means to proceed with good seamanship is difficult to put into words and it could be explained by the lack of a legal definition. Despite this, the one who proceeds without god seamanship risk a prison sentence for up to two years if the act is gross. Good seamanship has therefore been studied from criminal law perspective to clarify what court consider as good seamanship. The purpose was to illustrate and specify the term and the study was conducted using a qualitative legal-judicial method where legal cases, legal texts and propositions were analysed. The result illustrates that good seamanship is what court does not judge as an behaviour of carelessness. The carless behaviour has been determined in some areas.

Abstract:
The Netherlands Ministry of Defence have declared the ambition to reduce its fossil fuel dependency by at least 20% in 2030 and by at least 70% in 2050. For the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN), these targets seem more stringent than the initial strategy on greenhouse gas reduction for ships agreed by IMO, which aims for 50% reduction in total annual global shipping emission by 2050. The RNLN is currently investigating the replacement of a series of support vessels, 5 ships between 1000 and 2000 tons that perform hydrographic, submarine exercise support, civil support and seamanship training operations. These vessels perform support operations, are not volume critical in their design and have a limited mission duration of 2 to 3 weeks, and thus seem good candidates for alternative fuels and alternative power systems, such as fuel cells and batteries, that have emissions with a minimum impact on the environment. This study presents a novel approach to compare various alternative energy carrier and power system options with the Ships Power and Energy Concept (SPEC) exploration tool. We first introduce the baseline vessel and introduce the various fuels and technologies considered. We consider marine diesel oil as a baseline and alternative energy carriers hydrogen, methanol or ammonia and batteries. We review the fuels, their current and future availability and their impact on the environment. Moreover, we review the power system technologies, considering diesel generators running on marine diesel oil, methanol, ammonia or dimethyl ether, fuel cells running on hydrogen or methanol and batteries as the only power supply, recharged when ashore. Furthermore, we review power system designs with the combinations of fuel and power supply identified above and will consider: the mass and volume of the power system configurations and energy storage, fuel or batteries; the estimated capital and operational expenditure; technology readiness level; logistic availability of the fuel; and the estimated yearly CO2 emissions. Electrical propulsion with electrical power supply from internal combustion engines running on methanol appears a mature and cost-effective candidate to achieve the reduction target of 70% reduction in CO2 emission and its related dependancy on fossil fuels, with a 10% increase in capital cost and double fuel cost.
