Subordinate Application of the General Rules and Provisions of Mandatory Law to Nautical Berth Contracts in the Maritime Code

Transactions on Maritime Science
The authors of this paper focus on the nautical berth contract prescribed by the Maritime Code (hereinafter: MC). Despite the extensive regulatory coverage of all economic and legal circumstances that may arise during the term of the nautical berth contract, there are practical, contractual, and consequently legal gaps that may occur when deciding on ...

State of the Practice − Sub‐Aqueous In‐Situ Solidification for Contaminated Sediment Remediation

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 4, Autumn 2026.
ABSTRACT In‐situ solidification (ISS) has emerged as a cost‐effective and versatile technology for sediment remediation, particularly for addressing contamination at greater sediment depths. This paper evaluates ISS in the context of conventional sediment remediation approaches, highlighting its advantages, design and implementation considerations, and

“It Is Vital That We Should Not Keep It to Ourselves”: The Rats of Tobruk Association and the Siege of Tobruk in Australian National Memory

Australian Journal of Politics &History, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 143-165, March 2026.
The siege of Tobruk is one of the most well‐known Australian actions of the Second World War, enjoying special attention on Anzac Day. Its elevation within Australian national memory is by no means accidental. Rather, it is the result of decades of lobbying by the Rats of Tobruk Association (ROTA), which positioned veterans of the siege as the ...

Robust Operation Method for Renewable‐Integrated Port‐Ship System With Ship‐Participated Grid‐Forming Control

IET Smart Grid, Volume 9, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
The paper proposes a robust optimisation method for port‐ship systems that integrates logistics and energy flows while addressing uncertainties in ship throughput and renewable energy. By leveraging ship‐based grid‐forming support and using a column‐and‐constraint generation algorithm, the approach enhances both economic efficiency and system ...
