Maritime transport faces multiple challenges, therefore it requires
an interdisciplinary approach in order to respond efficiently to
the interaction between diverse agents. This book presents
interdisciplinary research, as well as operational experiences,
which contribute towards the development of the field. The
substantial growth of maritime shipping has resulted in large
quantities of good and products being transported around the world,
creating a demand for innovative solutions for infrastructure and
fleets. A further increase in the scale and the size of container
carriers and passenger cruisers also requires special facilities.
These developments have presented a challenge for different types
of technologies, as well as operational systems. Maritime
transportation ought to be integrated with other services such as
railways, roadways and airports and, in some cases, river and canal
traffic in order to achieve maximum efficiency. It also needs to
respond rapidly to the economic and political circumstances in
different parts of the world. These challenges often require
extreme performances in terms of capacity, speed of delivery,
energy consumption, environmental sustainability, as well as social
and economic aspects. A range of topics are covered, including:
Ports and their operation; Routing and automatic control of marine
ships; Responsible and sustainable port innovation and development
along the 21st century Maritime Silk Road; Ports of the future -
Sustainable intelligent ports for smart and autonomous ships and
logistics; Pollution and the protection of the marine environment;
Maritime education and training; Planning and management.
