However, the shipper’s concerns during the land leg remain yet to be adequately addressed. In India, the land leg of container transportation between gateway ports and dry ports is conducted by the road/rail transporters appointed by the carrier or the dry port operators. The inland transportation of containers, however, is governed by different legal instruments, the provisions of which are not congruent, especially with regard to the liabilities and responsibilities of the dry port operator against the carrier. Understanding such deficiency, this paper attempts to ascertain the implications of ratifying the Rotterdam Rules for India’s existing maritime law regime, especially those applicable to dry ports. We examine the maritime law regimes of different countries which are already signatories to the Rotterdam Rules and apply a similar reasoning in the Indian context. We conclude that one of the effects of ratification by India would be the reduction of ambiguities concerning the liabilities of dry port operators, being now considered a maritime performing party. Consequently, dry port operators would now be held responsible for container security and thus would be perforce to exercise due diligence in discharging its duties as a custodian of the cargoes in its charge. In addition to the efficiency gains that such development would bring about, it would be beneficial for the evolution of an appropriate container security policy for the Indian dry ports sector.","PeriodicalId":278094,"journal":{"name":"KMI International Journal of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries","volume":"162 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133197690","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}

This event was associated with a huge bloom of floating Sargassum in the East China Sea (ECS) and southern Yellow Sea (SYS). Ship surveys or aerial surveys can only cover a limited space and are time consuming and expensive. This study aims to capture temporal variation in the geographical distribution of floating S. horneri using satellite imagery obtained from the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI). The GOCI acquires eight images a day with a 500-m spatial resolution, a high signal-to-noise ratio and a constant viewing angle, providing imagery suitable for monitoring a large-scale floating algae event and its temporal evolution. Semi-monthly aggregated images were generated to determine fractional coverage area per pixel or density of the floating algae from January to June, 2015. The results are consistent with previous field-survey-based studies, but also reveal a number of new findings. Unexpectedly, S. horneri patches were detected as early as January over a broad area of the ECS continental shelf. The floating algae were detected not only near the outer continental shelf area along the Kuroshio front and Eastern Kuroshio Branch current as previously reported in literature but also along the western inner continental shelf. The floating seaweed patches along the eastern outer shelf proliferated during the second half of March, then moved north, entering the Korea-Tsushima Straits in the west of Kyushu to the north. The algae patches in the western shelf moved north in April and May and separated, one entering the Jeju Strait and the Korea-Tsushima Straits, and the other entering the SYS. Overall, S. horneri density peaked in late April, then decreased in May and June before disappearing from the ECS in July.","PeriodicalId":278094,"journal":{"name":"KMI International Journal of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125653314","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}

This paper compares the open multi-processing (OpenMP), the open computing language (OpenCL), the Message Passing Interface (MPI), the hybrid MPI/OpenMP, and the hybrid MPI/OpenCL in the parallel implementation of ocean color processing algorithms using data from the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), which is the first ocean color remote sensor operated in geostationary orbit. Since 2010, GOCI has observed ocean color around the Korean Peninsula and has generated hundreds of terabytes of big data. When any of the data-processing algorithms are updated, all preexisting data is required to be reprocessed, which can take hundreds of days because GOCI data are currently processed sequentially. Therefore, we attempted to develop an efficient parallel processing methodology for GOCI data. We tested well-known GOCI dataprocessing algorithms, like the chlorophyll (CHL) and total suspended solid (TSS) concentration estimation algorithms, using a cluster system. This cluster uses the Red Hat Linux operating system with two Intel Xeon 8-core processors (CPU), an AMD Radeon HD 7970 (GPU), and InfiniBand 4x QDR (network). As a result of this study we were able to improve the GOCI ocean color algorithms' processing speeds for OpenMP, OpenCL, MPI, hybrid MPI/OpenMP, and hybrid MPI/OpenCL by 3.92, 2.56, 2.51 3.27, and 2.05 times, respectively, than that of when we run the data sequentially. Moreover, we confirmed that the OpenMP programming model is the most useful for real-time processing GOCI data, which involves large amounts of input data and relatively simple formulas. Also, the vast number of computational nodes helps reduce the time taken to reprocess all data.","PeriodicalId":278094,"journal":{"name":"KMI International Journal of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114275919","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}

Thus, since the late 1970s, about 40% of Korea’s tidal flats have been converted through land reclamation. Some converted tidal flats have led to negative consequences, such as deteriorating water quality, diminished livelihoods of fishing communities, and inefficient use of national budgets. These are types of market failure.Knowing the potential market value of ecosystem services may correct these market failures. Recently, as the importance of blue carbon has increased, it is expected that coastal ecosystems that store carbon can better receive their full social value, including possible access to carbon markets. This report presents a methodology for estimating the economic value of tidal flats as a coastal carbon repository and its application to tidal flat conservation policies. Korea’s tidal flats store carbon that accounts for 8% of Korea’s annual greenhouse gas emissions in 2016. To estimate the net benefit of tidal flat conservation, a cost-benefit analysis that included carbon dioxide reduction values was conducted for Ganghwa tidal flat. With a 25-year time horizon, the break-even point between benefit and cost occurs when the carbon price is $ 4 – 6/tCO 2 e. Given the average carbon market price in 2018 in Korea is $20.62/tCO 2 e, the ‘blue carbon’ valuation is high enough to incentivize coastal wetlands conservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. Based on this blue carbon ‘viability,’ this paper examines some related issues and legislative improvements, as well as future considerations to increase participation by the private sector.","PeriodicalId":278094,"journal":{"name":"KMI International Journal of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117194399","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}
