  - OCEAN ENGINEERING - Year 2025

  According to maritime regulations, a collision-avoidance action shall be taken at an “ample time” while strict interpretation of this term is ambiguous. Evasive manoeuvres, executed by marine navigators on a daily basis, are usually carried out well in advance, while the distance at which they decide to perform such a manoeuvre is mostly subjective and results, e.g., from the navigator's seagoing experience. A proper understanding...

  - RELIABILITY ENGINEERING & SYSTEM SAFETY - Year 2025

  The rapidly advancing automation of the maritime industry – for instance, through onboard Decision Support Systems (DSS) – can facilitate the introduction of advanced solutions supporting the process of collision avoidance at sea. Nevertheless, relevant solutions that aim to correctly predict a ship's behavior in irregular waves are only available to a limited extent by omitting the impact of wave stochastics on resulting evasive...

  - Year 2024

  Recently established guidelines by World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC) for designing the dimensions of the inland waterway, offer a methodology for determining safe width of inland waterways based on a concept of safety and ease of navigation. Therein a wide set of external and internal factors of various origin (organizational, technical, related to human) known to affect the safety and ease (S&E)...
