In the chilly, unforgiving seas, ships face a silent adversary: icing. This isn’t the kind that coats your windshield on a frosty morning. We’re talking about spray icing, a phenomenon that can cripple a ship’s power systems, and it’s a problem that

In the ever-evolving world of maritime surveillance, a groundbreaking development has emerged from the halls of the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan. Dr. Shuang Yang, leading a team at the National Engineering Research Center for Geographic I

In the ever-evolving world of maritime technology, drones are becoming indispensable tools for ship maintenance, emergency rescue, and safety monitoring. But there’s a catch: recognizing human actions in the harsh maritime environment is no easy feat

In the world of maritime safety, understanding how materials behave under fire is crucial, especially when those materials are as common as flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF). This foam is everywhere in ship cabins, from seating to insulation, but it’

In a significant stride for maritime technology, researchers have developed a new system that could revolutionize how ships are identified and tracked at sea. The system, dubbed Ship-RT-DETR, is a novel framework that combines advanced detection and

Researchers from the University of Michigan, including Yinan Dong, Ziyu Xu, Tsimafei Lazouski, Sangli Teng, and Maani Ghaffari, have developed an innovative control system for autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) that significantly improves trajectory

Researchers Matthew Hampsey, Pieter van Goor, Ravi Banavar, and Robert Mahony from the Australian National University have made a significant advancement in the field of mechanical control systems. Their work focuses on systems such as aerial, marine

Researchers Anıl Erdinç Türetken, Hakan Ersoy, and Aslihan Kartci have published a study comparing control strategies for thruster-driven marine systems, with a focus on energy efficiency and actuator stress. The research, conducted at Istanbul Techn

Researchers from the University of Genova have published a preliminary assessment of shipboard power system architectures that integrate low-voltage direct current (LVDC) sections. This study, led by D. Roncagliolo, M. Gallo, D. Kaza, F. D’Agostino,

Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin have developed an open-access modular framework for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) that promises to revolutionize underwater research. The team, led by Mingxi Zhou and including Farhang Naderi
