article
In this study, measures for preventing and reducing damages due to disasters in the coastal industrial zones have been developed focusing on the maritime sector, particularly the marine vessels. In recent years, the number of ships has been increasing steadily, resulting in port congestion and frequent maritime accidents in coastal areas. Therefore, this study focused on the marine traffic considering...

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships as required by international environmental regulations, we propose herein an energy-saving method for ships sailing on wavy seas. The effect of applying this method is investigated by a numerical study of a bulk carrier self-propelled in regular head and following waves. The method requires that the ship be equipped with a controllable-pitch propeller...

With maritime transportation has played an important role in global economy development, ship traffic has become more congested. Therefore, ships navigate under risk conditions, and thus maritime accidents have occurred frequently. Especially, ship passing through a narrow channel is even more dangerous. Because, the ships are easy to be affected by external forces such as wind and currents that can...

A massive earthquake occurred in the Tohoku and Kanto regions of Japan on the 11th of March 2011. In response, a tsunami alert, a tsunami warning and an advisory were issued for the entire Pacific coast region. This research investigates the evacuation behavior of ships by AIS data in Sendai port after the tsunami warning was issued. The unusual behavior observed was attributed to the emergency evacuation...

This research was aimed at building a new navigational information support system that could be used for preventing accidents involving sea-going vessels. This paper proposes a methodology for obtaining visual information with a 360° camera, this information can be used to issue early warnings. This methodology involves superimposing image groups captured with the camera, with the superimposed images...

Navigational information highly affects the transporting industry. Prevention of a marine disaster is one of the best ways to ensure the safety of sailing ships. Collision and stranding are the two most common causes of marine disasters. Most coastal stranding is attributed to shallow waters. Accurate information on water depth for the prevention of ship's stranding. On the other hand, information...
chapter
Ensuring safe ship navigation is necessary for the prevention of marine disasters. Ships are frequently stranded in the shallow waters near coastal areas. Thus, it is very important to communicate information about water depth effectively to prevent the stranding of ships. We propose a method for effectively communicating water-depth data using a geographic information system (GIS) for the prevention...
chapter
It is important to use various data accurately and effectively in order to ensure the safety of navigation of ships. If such data are integrated and visualized, a reality-based virtual environment can be constructed, which can be used by ship maneuvering simulators. Since such environments are constructed mainly for the purpose of training exercises in ship maneuvering, they are not suitable for the...

A radar simulator for ships is a device for effective education concerning safety in ship navigation. In existing radar simulators, it is necessary to simulate surrounding ship data, and much effort is required to input such data. Therefore, this study aims to address this problem using AIS (Automatic Identification System) data. The proposed radar simulator system simultaneously achieves the following...
