In this process, intelligent ship activities will pose challenges to existing maritime law, and existing maritime law will also affect the development scale of ship intelligence. In the interaction between the two, maritime law should not only conform to the laws of science and technology, but also maintain due restraint and caution. A relatively stable and clear allocation mechanism of rights and liabilities is the key to maintaining maritime legal order. Ship intelligence will bring complex technical risks and maritime disputes, and require corresponding risk distribution liability mechanisms. It is the most important way for maritime law to respond to ship intelligence by clarifying the rights and obligations of different subjects of intelligent ships and determining the relevant liabilities.","PeriodicalId":477166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international maritime safety, environmental affairs, and shipping","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135900708","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}

However, it is difficult to achieve this because of the absence of technological developments. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop alternative fuels. In this study, marine gas oil and biodiesel were blended at ratios of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 20% to assess their applicability to ships (Component analysis, metal corrosion, and storage stability) and potential for emission reduction (engine performance, environmental effects, and engine durability). The composition of the test fuels meet the ISO 8217:2017 standard. Metal corrosion was insignificant for carbon steel, iron, aluminum, and nickel, but not copper. Storage stability showed no sludge generation or fuel separation, although biodiesel experienced some discoloration owing to its high oxygen content. Engine performance showed no significant differences between marine gas oil and biodiesel. Emissions of NOx increased with higher biodiesel blending ratios, whereas SOx, CO, CO2, and Total hydro carbons decreased. Engine durability was good throughout the 160 hours sea trial. This study demonstrated that even at a 20% biodiesel blending ratio exceeding the 7% ratio suggested by ISO 8217:2017, can be safely used as a long-term marine fuel.","PeriodicalId":477166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international maritime safety, environmental affairs, and shipping","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135901974","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 has motivated existing materials and products to be shared, leased, reused, repaired, refurbished, and even recycled with an interest of using them for as long as possible. While this concept has taken root in most industries, it is still in the nascent stages in the maritime industry. Since the maritime industry is the backbone of the existing infrastructure of world trade, it has become imperative for the maritime industry to adopt the concept of Circular Economy to ensure their growth in a sustainable manner.","PeriodicalId":477166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international maritime safety, environmental affairs, and shipping","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135949561","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 case study examines hydrogen plume behavior in various wind conditions, focusing on horizontal and vertical dispersion as well as mean travel distance over time. Regardless of wind direction, hydrogen disperses in alignment with the wind. As time progresses post-leakage, the plume elongates in the wind's longitudinal direction and contracts vertically, maintaining a consistent shape. Wind direction and the direction of hydrogen release notably influence dispersion patterns. When the wind aligns vertically with the release point, hydrogen plume distance increases with higher wind speeds. Conversely, when wind opposes the release direction, plume length tends to decrease at high speeds. Intriguingly, the maximum distance of 27.85 m occurs when wind and leak directions are orthogonal at 180°. For wind speeds up to 5 m/s, all wind directions show a similar increase in plume distance. However, at 7 m/s, scenarios with horizontal, perpendicular wind directions exhibit a distinct change. Analyzing hydrogen dispersion aids in establishing safety criteria and risk mitigation distances for hydrogen leakages in bunker stations during the early design phase.","PeriodicalId":477166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international maritime safety, environmental affairs, and shipping","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135900486","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 densely stowed vehicle cargo loading structure and large volume of RoRo ship cargo holds are factors that complicate firefighting efforts. In addition, vehicle cargoes have a higher likelihood of self-ignition compared to other types of cargo and produce dense smoke when a fire occurs. Combustible materials inside vehicles can also contribute to the spread of fires after they start. Particularly, the recent increase in demand for electric vehicles calls for changes in how we respond to potential cargo hold fires on RoRo ships and heightens the risk of such incidents. In this study, we analyzed major domestic and international RoRo cargo hold fire incidents using AcciMap, a system analysis method. Through this analysis, we identified needs for improved management of vehicle cargo conditions, responses to fixed firefighting systems and system inspections, as well as improvements to fire detection systems. By using a systems analysis approach, we were able to identify areas for improvement needed by ships, ports, governments, shippers, and shipping companies.","PeriodicalId":477166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international maritime safety, environmental affairs, and shipping","volume":"29 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135901816","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}
