BRI is a Chinese multi-trillion-dollar global infrastructure initiative that has geopolitical implications for both the participating as well as non-participating countries. So...

The article “America’s Marine Highway stakeholders: a system-scale analysis of influence in decision-making” written by Amit J. Mokashi, Austin Becker, and James J. Corbett, was originally published electronically on the publisher’s internet portal on July 24, 2020, without open access.

This work surveys stakeholders of America’s Marine Highway to identify their perceived influence on each other’s resource allocation decision making. The value/criticality of the resource held by the stakeholder group can be indirectly measured by the influence exerted by the group on its peers and its external stakeholders. The stakeholder map vis...

The member states of International Maritime Organization (IMO) have been leading in and enforcing the use of automatic identification systems (AIS) in the analysis of ship-to-ship collisions, vessel monitoring, and maritime traffic management offshore. This study will help non-federal stakeholders understand the AIS data and contribute to future re...

Security hazards pose serious risk concerns. But, what makes them unacceptable dangers, is our inability to accurately assess and manage them. The prevailing method of using threat, vulnerability, and consequence to arrive at a risk value has a limitation of interdependence of these variables. This is because the adversary plans his attack using th...

This document has identified specific problems likely to be encountered in endeavourof im-plementing Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) in ship operations. In the maritime industry, RCM is of-ten considered resource demanding. It is however possible to make the project manageable by starting with a critical system. A subjective qualitative appro...

This paper has identified specific problems likely to be encountered in endeavour of implementing reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) on ships. These stem out of the cultural differences between the aviation and maritime industries. In the maritime industry, RCM is often considered resource demanding. It is however possible to make the project ma...

This paper identifies the problems with the current maintenance practices as revealed by modern research. The limits of preventive maintenance especially with the paradigm of all components having a predictable useful life are discussed, against a backdrop of research from other industries. The authors have suggested creation of awareness in the se...
