Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

VLCC’s fuel consumption prediction modeling based on noon report and automatic identification system
Cogent Engineering, 2019 It is extremely important for fuel saving by taking the correct decisions where cost efficiency and environmental friendliness are top priorities. The fuel consumption rate of the ship is influenced by many parameters, such as average daily sailing speed,

A new method for calculating fuel consumption and displacement of a ship in maritime transport
, 2017 Fuel consumption is the most important parameter which is effected by the petrol prices. Optimization of the sailing speed decreases the fuel cost because it is proportional to the sailing speed.
