(1) A dynamic decision‐making model for ship berthing is proposed to provide real‐time assistance to shipmasters and pilots. (2) The proposed model considers the kinematic parameters related to ship berthing. (3) The proposed model employs a structured three‐layer fuzzy inference system to derive berthing decision‐making results. ABSTRACT Ship berthing

Ship–bridge pier collisions signify a serious risk to structural integrity and construction health and safety during bridge construction phases where structural redundancy is limited. This study develops a hybrid finite element–machine learning (FE–ML) replacement framework for rapid prediction of collision consequence severity under different maritime

The Burlington Races Revisited: A Revised Analysis of an 1813 Naval Battle for Supremacy on Lake Ontario [PDF]
From the safety of the Lake Ontario shore near Burlington, military and civilian observers witnessed the jockeying for position for many sailing vessels during the afternoon of Tuesday, September 28, 1813. They likened the event to a yacht race.

Views from the East: Changing Attitudes to Venice in Late Byzantium
Abstract This paper explores the changing attitudes towards Venice in late Byzantine texts. It argues that, along with the strengthening of political and cultural ties between Byzantium and Venice, the Byzantines' perspectives evolved from rejection to admiration. As scholars like Demetrios Kydones and Manuel Chrysoloras began to teach Greek in Venice,

Ship Steering Control Based on Quantum Neural Network
During the mission at sea, the ship steering control to yaw motions of the intelligent autonomous surface vessel (IASV) is a very challenging task. In this paper, a quantum neural network (QNN) which takes the advantages of learning capabilities and fast learning rate is proposed to act as the foundation feedback control hierarchy module of the IASV ...
