Marine oil spill response operations could generate a large volume of liquid oily wastes (e.g., emulsified oil, non-emulsified oil, and wastewater) that can be up to 30 to 40 times greater than the original volume of spilled oil. Oil decanting techno...

Anthropogenic noise is a growing threat to marine life due to the incrementation of human activity in the marine environment. In Europe, the Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council was published with the aim of establishing...

Since the 1970s, artificial reef (AR) deployment has been one of the common approaches to augment the local production of coastal fish in Malaysia. However, there is a lack of strategy to assess and evaluate the success of pre-deployed AR. Realizing...

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) have been widely applied in the fields of marine hydrological exploration, marine resource exploration, area search, target detection, and military operations. In order to meet the demand of a complex ocean environmen...

The marine boiler-turbine system is the core part for the steam-powered ships with complicated dynamics. To improve the power tracking performance and fulfill the requirement of high utilization rate of fossil energy, the control performance of the s...

The research on the fragmentation mechanism of seabed minerals under high ambient pressure significantly contributes to the exploitation of seafloor massive sulfides (SMS). In this paper, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test and triaxial comp...

A growing number of researchers are interested in deploying unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) in support of ocean environmental monitoring. To accomplish these missions efficiently, multiple-waypoint path planning strategies for survey USVs are still...

In support of Canadian industrial and defence ship design and offshore helicopter operations, a series of Ship–Helicopter Operational Limits Analysis and Simulation (SHOLAS) projects are being conducted at the National Research Council Canada (...

When an airgun releases high-pressure gas underwater below an ice plate, it is observed that a bubble is formed rapidly while the ice plate is broken fiercely. In order to study the ice-water-gas interaction during this transient and violent phenomen...

The sea surface elevations are generally stated as non-Gaussian processes in the current literature, being considered Gaussian for short periods of relatively low wave heights. The objective here is to study the evolution of the distribution of the s...
