...are concerned about minimizing their costs, it is likely that speed and routing decisions will change because of this. In this paper, we develop an optimization model to be applied by ship operators for determining sailing paths and speeds that minimize operating costs for a ship along a given sequence...

...enhanced coverage and range is achievedLower (VHF/UHF) frequenciesMobile Multi-hop Relay and Mesh NetworkingNovel SatCom systems may be utilized to complement/supplement the terrestrial systems, e.g. to fill in coverage gaps and at deep seaObtaining seamless and continuous handover and roaming represents...

...performed at S°C and 13°C in SINTEFs laboratory. The data are used as input for SINTEF's Oil Weathering Model (OWM} to predict the properties and behaviour of Vale crude oil in a spill situation at sea. The weathering properties are discussed related to oil spill response; mechanical recovery and chemical dispersion...

This paper assesses the pros and the cons of installing batteries on offshore support vessels. These vessels are specially designed to provide services to oil and gas operations, such as anchor handling, supply and subsea operations. They have multiple engines and advanced dynamic positioning systems...

...framework for autonomous operations in highly complex and dynamically changing environments such as fish farms is proposed and experimentally validated. Since fish farms feature an environment that includes fish, deformable flexible structures and highly variable environmental disturbances, the framework...
