The ability to exploit data for obtaining useful and actionable information and for providing insights is an essential element for continuous process improvements. Recognizing the value of data as an asset, marine engineering puts data considerations...
Smuggling of drugs and cigarettes in small inflatable boats across border rivers is a serious threat to the EU's financial interests. Early detection of such threats is challenging due to difficult and changing environmental conditions. This study re...
Shipping makes up the major proportion of global transportation and results in an increasing emission of air pollutants. It accounts for 3.1%, 13%, and 15% of the annual global emissions of CO, SO, and NO, respectively. Hence, effective regulatory me...
Ship collision accidents are the primary threat to traffic safety in the sea. Collision accidents can cause casualties and environmental pollution. The collision risk is a major indicator for navigators and surveillance operators to judge the collisi...
Riverside monitoring systems are used for controlling the passage of ships, counting them to prevent overcrowding in a port, or raising an alarm if the ship is unknown or not safe. This type of control and analysis is commonly carried out by many peo...

In order to track the desired path under unknown parameters and environmental disturbances, an adaptive backstepping sliding mode control algorithm with a neural estimator is proposed for underactuated ships considering both ship-bank interaction eff...
Ballast water is a vector for global translocation of microorganisms, and should be monitored to protect human and environmental health. This study utilizes high throughput sequencing (HTS) and machine learning to examine the bacterial and fungal mic...
While ballast water has long been linked to the global transport of invasive species, little is known about its microbiome. Herein, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabarcoding to perform the most comprehensive microbiological survey of ballast...

This paper presents adaptive neural tracking control of underactuated surface vessels with modeling uncertainties and time-varying external disturbances, where the tracking errors consisting of position and orientation errors are required to keep ins...
Underwater gliders are autonomous robots that follow a slow, see-saw path and may be deployed for months on end. Gliders have a dramatically lower payload capacity than research vessels and are thus limited to more simple instrumentation. They have t...
