The mixing of terrestrial groundwater and seawater creates dynamic reaction zones in intertidal areas, where land-derived Fe(II) is oxidized to Fe(III) and then precipitates as Fe hydroxides at the groundwater–seawater interface. These hydrogeo...
The offshore wind sector is moving into deep waters and using floating platforms to harness the higher wind speeds in exposed locations. There are various floating platform types currently in development, but semi-submersibles are considered the most...
This paper delves into the multi-port berth allocation problem (MBAP), enriching the traditional berth allocation problem (BAP) with vessel speed optimization (VSO). In the MBAP, it is assumed that there is cooperation between the port and the shippi...
Tidal flats are accumulations of fine-grained sediment formed under the action of tides and play a very important role in coastal protection. The northern part of Jiangsu coast, as a typical example of muddy coasts found all over the world, has exper...
Unlike uniform motion, when an object moves underwater with variable speed, it experiences additional resistance from the water, commonly referred to as added mass force. At present, several methods exist to solve this force, including theoretical, e...
Vehicle scheduling at shipyards can involve delays due to numerous risk factors encountered in the complicated shipyard road environment. This paper studies the problems of risk coupling in shipyard vehicle scheduling based on the risk matrix approac...
In order to address the dynamic changes in vessel preferences for berth lines caused by the deployment of shore-based power equipment in major ports and the collaborative scheduling problem of berthing and towing assistance, this paper quantifies the...
The emerging floating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are regarded as a preferred solution to overcome the challenges faced by the traditional horizontal type in open-sea environments. Numerous numerical models have been advanced for assessing th...
Mediterranean marine caves have been categorized as both biodiversity reservoirs and vulnerable habitats. However, only a few studies have focused on Porifera assemblages within marine caves along the Adriatic Apulian coast (southern Italy). In this...
The invasion of ship domains stands out as a significant factor contributing to the risk of collisions during vessel navigation. However, there is a lack of research on the mechanisms underlying the collision risks specifically related to merchant an...
