Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The term maritime refers to almost everything connected to the sea or waterways throughout the world, especially in relation to navigation, shipping and marine engineering. The industry has a direct impact on much of our everyday lives.

The issues of navigation, pilotage and decision making are considered. This Special Issue is also devoted to the thematic area of automation systems and information systems for the maritime industry. Recently, this are of study has been changing very rapidly and there are many implementations in the technological and general cycles.

The development of the industry requires research in various fields of engineering, such as robotics, automation, neural networks and ecology, among others. This research will significantly contribute to the development of the maritime industry as a whole. The Special Issue will be interesting to both professionals and ordinary readers who research in and are interested in the maritime industry.

Prof. Dr. Sergei Chernyi
Guest Editor

The paper presents that during the operation of torpedo ladle cars in metallurgical production, problems periodically arise with ensuring the safety of their use. The authors have highlighted the relevance and necessity of the solution to the problem of diagnosing the lining state of ladle cars to ensure their safe functioning. To solve the problem of diagnosing the lining state of ladle cars for the maritime industry, an algorithm for detecting burnout zones of a lining based on a neural network has been developed. The authors propose and describe a distributed multi-agent information control system for the operation of torpedo ladle cars. The results for detecting burnout zones of a lining by the standard system and newly developed system are presented. To automate assessing the lining state of the ladle car and support in making decisions regarding operation mode of the ladle cars, the software has been developed. Full article

Knowledge of the spatio-temporal distribution of salinity provides valuable information for understanding different processes between biota and environment, especially in hypersaline lakes. Remote sensing techniques have been used for monitoring different components of the environment. Currently, one of the biggest challenges is the spatio-temporal monitoring of the salinity level in water bodies. Due to some limitations, such as the inability to be located there permanently, it is difficult to obtain these data directly. In this study, machine learning techniques were used to evaluate the salinity level in hypersaline East Sivash Bay. In total, 93 in situ data samples and 6 Sentinel-2 datasets were used, according to field measurements. Using linear regression, random forest and AdaBoost models, eight water salinity evaluation models were built (six with simple, one with random forest and one with AdaBoost). The accuracy of the best-fitted simple linear regression model was 0.8797; for random forest, it was equal, at 0.808, and for AdaBoost, it was −0.72. Furthermore, it was found that with an increase in salinity, the absorbing light shifts from the ultraviolet part of the spectrum to the infrared and short-wave infrared parts, which makes it possible to produce continuous monitoring of hypersaline water bodies using remote sensing data.

Usually, loading and unloading of cargo ships takes place in ports that are equipped with the infrastructure necessary to carry out such operations. In the Arctic, often a helicopter is the only way to get the cargo to the right place. Finding the optimal geographic location for unloading a ship using helicopters is an important task. It is necessary to create a support system for making the right decisions in such situations. Mathematical modeling has been used to find the geographical location that ensures the most favorable and quickest delivery of cargo from a vessel to its destination, using a helicopter. A criterion has also been found in which the search for the optimum point is a more rational way of unloading the vessel compared to other discharge options. The maps of the economic benefits of loading and unloading operations in this model have been developed. Using the example of the developed model, it is shown that during the transportation of goods in Ob Bay, significant economic and temporary advantages can be obtained. The developed model can be extended to the case of cargo delivery not only in the Arctic conditions, but also where the transport infrastructure is insufficiently developed. Full article
