The maneuverability of ships is influenced by several factors, including ship design, size, propulsion system, hull shape, and external conditions such as wind, waves, and currents. The size, shape, and arrangement of the hull, rudder, and propeller...
Port state control (PSC) inspections, considered a crucial means of maritime safety supervision, are viewed by the industry as a critical line of defense ensuring the stability of the international supply chain. Due to the high level of globalization...
Rare-earth mud and manganese nodules coexist on the seafloor around Minamitorishima Island. To investigate the feasibility of a pulp-lift system that can ensure economic efficiency by pumping manganese using rare-earth mud as the working fluid, we co...
Aiming at the problem of path planning for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to cope with the influence of obstacles and eddies in complex marine environments, a path planning method based on an improved salp swarm algorithm (ISSA) is proposed. Fir...
Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is considered as a type of clean energy to replace coal and oil. During exploitation, permeability is one of the key parameters controlling production efficiency, reservoir stability, and greenhouse gas sequestration. Limite...
Effective protection of highly mobile and data-poor species constitutes a great challenge amid growing ocean exploitation and use. Blue whales and bowhead whales in the North-East Atlantic face several threats, such as climate change, ship strikes, p...
The selection of a navy ship is essential to guarantee a country’s sovereignty, deterrence capabilities, and national security, especially in the face of possible conflicts and diplomatic instability. This paper proposes the integration of conc...
The Doñana Protected Area, Western Europe’s largest protected wetland and UNESCO World Heritage Site, is of great importance for the Spanish biodiversity. Despite its ecological value, there is a noticeable scarcity of scientific and tec...
This paper studies the trajectory tracking issue for an underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in the horizontal plane. The desired velocity–tracking error relationship (DVTER) is constructed according to the kinematics and kinetic e...
Wave overtopping occurring in offshore wind renewable energy structures such as tension leg platforms (TLPs) or semi-submersible platforms is a phenomenon that is worth studying and preventing in order to extend the remaining useful life of the corre...
