In addition to human casualties, a material damage was also included in the fire. Therefore, a significant role of the fire protection is timely notification of fire, enabling the quick intervention, the damage reduction and engagement of people and equipment. The possibilities of fire protection improvement are carefully studied by the authors on RO-RO ships. The aim is to point out the importance of fire protection preventive measures. The analysis of the article is based on the road tunnels fire alarm system and the possibilities of application on RO-RO ships. The authors have been suggesting the use of an optical sensor cable in garages on RO-RO ships as the main type of fire alarm system detectors.","PeriodicalId":236082,"journal":{"name":"Časopis Pomorskog fakulteta Kotor - Journal of Maritime Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132776777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By Law No. 91 of 14 June 2021, published in the Official Journal No. 148 of 23 June 2021, the Italian Parliament proclaimed its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), to allow Italy to fully project its economic rights over an area of the sea extending up to 200 miles from its shores or up to the limit allowed by international law. In line with the trend of progressive extension of the jurisdiction of coastal states in waters beyond their territorial sea in the Mediterranean, this measure is taken in compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to allow the country to protect its economic activities, and biodiversity protection. Anyway, even if the law authorizes the EEZ establishment, a further ad hoc measure is required to this aim. Its delimitation will take place primarily based on agreements: Italy is supposed to negotiate new agreements with the neighboring Countries, including Montenegro, in order to define its boundaries.","PeriodicalId":236082,"journal":{"name":"Časopis Pomorskog fakulteta Kotor - Journal of Maritime Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121949618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shipping sector’s primary response remains the reduction of the cruising speed. Other solutions can include hull optimization, application of energy saving devices, alternative fuels. Alternative fuels are still under the development and could significantly reduce emissions, through the application of batteries, hydrogen, ammonia, etc. However, domestic voyages by ferries have not been exposed to the regulations’ scrutiny. Nevertheless, in the regions such as the Bay of Kotor (Montenegro), protected by UNESCO, maritime transport is expected to follow environmental policies. In order to encourage the decarbonization of such regions, this paper offers a preliminary concept solution of an electric ferry for the Bay of Kotor with reduced onboard emissions. The concept is based on available data on the most energy demanding ferry in Bay of Kotor that has operated for the past decade. The ferry follows the short route suitable for the application of electric drive. Analysis of an operational profile and the ferry concept design parameters are presented, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of electric ferry proposal.","PeriodicalId":236082,"journal":{"name":"Časopis Pomorskog fakulteta Kotor - Journal of Maritime Sciences","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130239442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Negative impacts include: Marine flora and fauna, sediment erosion that weakens berth structures, sediment deposits that require dredging. Later, this leads to delays in port operations. Several authors have proposed different methods to cope with this problem. This paper presents methods and tools to determine the critical propeller jet velocities, which are the most important parameter to determine the size of the bank stabilisation system. The tool is a bridge simulator that can be used to simulate the intrusive departure manoeuvre of a ship. The ship motion data are analysed to determine the critical shear stress of the sediment particles. The critical velocity induced by the propeller jet is determined using the German method.","PeriodicalId":236082,"journal":{"name":"Časopis Pomorskog fakulteta Kotor - Journal of Maritime Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134379105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increase in ship capacity leads to an increase in ship length and, thus, a decrease in transportation costs. The maneuverability of large ships in shallow water when calling at ports is becoming increasingly difficult. This is due to the discrepancy between increasing ship dimensions and unchanged waterway structures such as approach channels, harbors, and ports. The maneuverability of a vessel in shallow waters is different from the maneuverability in deep waters. The reasons for this are due to the shallow water effect. Shallow water affects the maneuverability of ships due to hydrodynamic forces caused by the current, shallower depth under the keel and proximity to the shore. It is a major challenge both for shipbuilders to design such vessels and for shipowners to have trained and well-educated officers who can navigate large vessels in shallow waters. This article presents the effects of shallow waters on large ship maneuvering and mathematical models that have been used to predict ship behavior under the influence of these forces.","PeriodicalId":236082,"journal":{"name":"Časopis Pomorskog fakulteta Kotor - Journal of Maritime Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121283723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern destination marketing is constantly changing due to the development of new technologies that are meant to attract and retain nautical tourists. Nautical destination managers use modern communication to build and maintain a better image and develop destinations as brands which can function sustainably even in the times of crisis. This paper examines modern and traditional marketing sources of information about Montenegro and Croatia as nautical tourist destinations. It was revealed that the largest share of the informed tourists had previous experience with a destination or were informed through internet sources. The results confirmed that the internet is increasingly used by the surveyed tourists, i.e., there is an increase in promotion through digital marketing tools in both destinations. The comparison of the trends between 2012 and 2021 indicated three common sources of information in both destinations: previous experience, the internet and the recommendations of friends and relatives. The study is based on cross-tabulation analysis which detects the differences in the method of obtaining information by the tourists whose age, gender and education level varied. The practical implication of this paper is the development of destination marketing in the Eastern Adriatic region. More precisely, the study might help the creators of developmental policies and destination operators to choose appropriate marketing strategies in order to adequately position a destination in the market.","PeriodicalId":236082,"journal":{"name":"Časopis Pomorskog fakulteta Kotor - Journal of Maritime Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121894523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Global Energy Interconnection is an infrastructure platform that can be used for clean energy production, transition and consumption worldwide. GEI facilitate efforts to meet global power demand with clean and green alternatives as low carbon energy. GEI is promoting integration of energy, information and transportation networks, enlarging global power trade, ensuring universal electricity service. GEI optimizes resource allocation and utilization by converting various energy sources including coal, oil, hydro, wind and solar into electricity and transmitting over long distance. It can achieve mutual support and free trade of clean energy from different regions, and maximize energy efficiency and economy by taking advantages of time-zone, seasonal and price difference. Actually, Global Energy Interconnection is a system that consist of “Smart Grid”, “UHV Grid” and “Clean Energy”. Smart Grid integrates modern smart technologies with respect to advanced power transmission, smart control, new energy integration and new energy storage. UHV Grid is mainly composed of 1000 kV (and above) AC and +-800 kV (and above) DC transmission lines, featuring long transmission distance, large capacity, high efficiency, low line loss, less land use and high security. The shaping up of GEI can be divided into three phase: domestic, intra-continental and intercontinental interconnection. UHV Grid result is visible in already tested in practice transmission lines of DC and AC voltage. Over 20 UHV networks have been built in China. There is one network longer than 2000 km in Brazil, and two networks of UHV in India.","PeriodicalId":236082,"journal":{"name":"Časopis Pomorskog fakulteta Kotor - Journal of Maritime Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122133805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
