Despite advancements in science and technology, ship collisions and groundings remain
the most prevalent types of maritime accidents. Recent developments in accident prevention …

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 …

Shallow waters influence the behaviour and performance of a vessel by modifying the local
pressure distribution, wave making, and boundary layer thickness. The boundary layer …

The manoeuvring behaviour of a vessel in currents differs remarkably from its behaviour in
water without a current, stemming from hydrodynamic effects caused by the presence of the …

The paper studies and compares the manoeuvring capabilities of an appended KRISO
Container Ship (KCS) hull model in both open and restricted waters. The KCS hull model …

With the increasing popularity of autonomous vehicles, the maritime industry has focused on
the development of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). An essential aspect of …

An Abkowitz-type model was extended to improve the prediction of maneuvering dynamics
of inland ships in deep and shallow waters. First, additional coupled rudder and speed …

Abstract The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) requirements for the control of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of shipping have raised interest in ship manoeuvrability in …

This paper utilizes an adaptive event-triggered mechanism to investigate the path following
control of autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) in shallow waters. Given the challenges …

The current numerical method for ship motion control primarily relies on mathematical ship
models that require solving hydrodynamic derivatives. In this paper, a fully nonlinear viscous …
