Autonomous Surface Vessels and COLREGs: Considering the Amendments
Unmanned vessels have been receiving increasing attention over the past few years. In the research and development sector, Autonomous Surface Vessels have been used for over a decade with different degrees of autonomy. The most advanced vessels are already (circum) navigating the oceans, and the question is raised to what extent they are aligned with ...

The Colregs and the Princess Alice [PDF]
There is currently considerable interest in the international regulations for preventing collisions at sea (the Colregs). Suggestions for changes are made, but their validity is difficult to assess because, apart from some very limited simulator ...

Terrorism, protest and the law (in a maritime context) [PDF]
Characterisations of terrorism in international conventions and domestic law sometimes seem to obscure the distinction between terrorism and certain kinds of protest activity, which may, in turn, be characterised as either licit or illicit.

EKF Based Trajectory Tracking and Integrity Monitoring of AIS Data [PDF]
This work presents a novel approach for integrity monitoring of AIS data. Currently, the AIS is a valuable source for maritime traffic situation assessment but not suited for collision avoidance, as it is prone to failures and not capable of indicating ...

Ship Domain as a Safety Criterion in a Precautionary Area of Traffic Separation Scheme [PDF]
The ship domain is one of the criteria for navigational safety assessment. It is particularly important in restricted areas with high intensity traffic, where the criteria of closest point of approach (CPA) and time to CPA are difficult to apply.

Advantages of Preservation of Obligatory Voice Communication on the VHF Radio Channel 16 [PDF]
Channel 16 of the VHF radio band is the most commonly used way of communication between vessels. Alt-hough there are strict rules not to use it for routine communication, many officers neglect them.
