With the diminishing extents of Arctic sea ice, Arctic shipping becomes increasingly attractive
for the shipping industry. Voyages along Arctic sea routes have seen a significant increase …

Maritime risk research often suffers from insufficient data for accurate prediction and
analysis. This paper aims to conduct a new risk analysis by incorporating the latest maritime …

Abstract The melting of Arctic Sea ice has significantly facilitated Arctic shipping. However,
such increased shipping has brought about higher maritime accidents in Arctic waters …

A data-driven Bayesian network (BN) is used to investigate the effect of human factors on
maritime safety through maritime accident analysis. Its novelties consist of (1) manual …

This paper aims to develop an innovative model based on optimal control to optimize the
shipping path of the fleet, including icebreakers and following ships in continuous time and …

With the global warming and a large amount of sea ice melting, the available Arctic Sea
Route has greatly enhanced the value of Arctic shipping. Ship operations under icebreaker …

Merchant ship operations in the ice-covered Arctic waters may encounter traditional
navigational accident risks (ie, grounding, collision, etc.) and risks from sea ice, such as ship …

Maritime transportation poses risks regarding possible accidents resulting in damage to
vessels, crew members and to the ecosystem. The safe navigation of ships, especially in the …

Despite the use of automation technology in the maritime industry, human errors are still the
