[Abstract] Shipmasters must make several quick decisions with respect to the ship’s speed and heading when new sea conditions approach. The implications for ship stability and risky situations are known but there are no ...

[Abstract] Most of the research on ship rolling motion concerns a specific type of ship, such as containerships, or analyzes sailing during certain wave characteristics, rather than the full spectrum of waves that can be ...

[Abstract] In spite of the IMO’s efforts to improve the safety of intact stability on ships, synchronous rolling still causes large rolling angles, resulting in a very dangerous situation on board. The implementation of ...

[Abstract] General cargo ships are the most numerous in the merchant fleet. In these vessels, the stowage and securing of non-standardized cargo must be designed prior to being shipped. Furthermore, during sea navigation, ...

[Abstract] Energy is an essential commodity for the development of modern nations. Energy demand has increased in recent years, a trend that is likely to continue in the near future. Therefore, it is of vital importance ...

[Abstract] The present paper shows an original study of more than 163 ship accidents in Spain showing which of the usually employed variables are related to each type of vessel accident due to the lack of information in ...

[Abstract] Artificial intelligence seems to be a new point of view to classical problems that, in the past, could not be understood in depth, leaving certain gaps in each knowledge area. As an example of this, maritime ...

[Abstract] Ship maneuvering in ports is increasingly reduced because the increase in ship size is not proportional to the increase in port areas. Furthermore, the number of assisted vessels and the need for tugboats working ...

[Abstract] The stowage plan and the securing arrangement of non-standardized cargo are some of the most important aspects in terms of cargo safety and economic costs. For this reason, the optimization of this operation is ...
