VISIIRI-hankkeessa työskennellään logistiikkasektorin vihreän siirtymän edistämiseksi. Etsimme tähän projektityöntekijää, oletko se sinä?

Merkittävä avaus! Merikaupunki Kotka panostaa vahvasti kokonaisturvallisuuteen. Uusi Aalto University työelämäprofessuuri kyberturvallisuuteen alkaa yhteistyössä Xamk kanssa. kotka.fi/2023/02/kotkas…

This #research article creates a holistic framework for the #shipping system in ice-covered waters by providing an overview of existing quantitative models, helping to identify the next scientific steps needed in terms of #riskmanagement.

According to this analysis #Norway, #UK, #France & #USA are the leading countries in #maritime #cybersecurity studies (weighted no. of authors). The key topics studied were cybersecurity #RiskAssessment techniques and the design of #monitoring and #intrusion detection tools.

This article discusses the research gaps related to increasing #AI and #automatisation in #shipping. The six key areas highlighted include e.g. the role of #humans and #ports in the system, and the #legal and #regulatory issues related to increasingly #intelligent #ships.

Here is one more example of how much the selection of #indicators - i.e. how we measure the #status or #change of something - can affect the picture we get. In this case in the context of identifying the areas that are shrinking in terms of their #population and local #economy.

"Inhimillinen virhe" onnettomuuden taustatekijänä on huomattavasti monimutkaisempi määriteltävä kuin esimerkiksi vikaantunut moottori tai muu kone / laite.

An interesting review on future demands for vessel types, available energy sources and novel technologies in #arctic sustainable #shipping, introducing an optimization framework for #sustainable arctic #ship #design, accounting for eco-efficiency, cost-efficiency, and #safety.

Merivakuutusyhtiö Gardin toimitusjohtajan mukaan pakotteet ovat lisänneet riskiä, ettei ympäristötuhoille löydy maksajaa öljyonnettomuuden jälkeen. Hän on huolissaan sosiaalisesta ja ympäristökatastrofista, joka vain odottaa tapahtumistaan #öljyvahinko hs.fi/talous/art-200…

⚓ Researchers ahoy! We invite conference abstracts on results that have potential to contribute to #sustainabledevelopment of #maritime operations in the changing world. Submit your abstract until 7th May! merikotka.fi/en/komarec2023/

This cool paper applies #decision tree #modeling to examine the efficacy of two #pedagogical approaches, #simulation-based and lecture-based #training, in a #virtual environment. It seems the method works for this purpose! The simulation-based approach was in this case superior.

Two more weeks to send us abstracts on research-driven results, ideas, and solutions that have potential to contribute to #sustainabledevelopment of #maritime operations in the changing world! #AbstractSubmission #conference

🖐🏼 Hoi #yritykset #logistiikka, #digi ja #kiertotalous sektoreilla! ❓ Miten parhaiten tuemme sektorien yhteistä vihreää siirtymää? 👇🏼 Kerro näkemyksesi vastaamalla lyhyeen (5 min) kyselyyn! 🙏🏼 Tätä saa mieluusti jakaa eteenpäin. Vastausaikaa on 15.5. asti!

The authors estimate that "from 2025, the current #ammonia capacity needs will start at 1.5 million Mt annually until it reaches about 3 million Mt in 2050. The doubling of the demand will likely come from the #maritime sector in the #BalticSeaRegion (#BSR)".

All environmental and #sustainability improvements in #ports have a positive effect on the whole #maritime sector. This article presents a classification tool that enables ports to review their #environmental #performance and compare their status with other ports.

⚓ The paper suggests a method that can support the selection of optimal #RiskControl strategies, based on their #CostBenefit analysis. This is particularly useful with higher numbers of potential control measures and their possible combinations! #Bayesian #FormalSafetyAssessment

This research article proposes a novel metric to identify rural regions that, "while shrinking in terms of their population, have still been able to maintain a good performance in other sustainability, socio-economic and Quality of Life indicators relating to regional vitality."

Ilmoittautuminen on auki! Uusi tapahtumamme #komarec23 on yritys vahvistaa akatemian ja muun yhteiskunnan välistä vuoropuhelua. Keskustelussa on uusimmat tutkimustulokset kestävään merenkulkuun liittyen. Tervetuloa mukaan!

Our first keynote speaker Assistant Professor Floris Goerlandt from Dalhousie University, Canada. He speakes about the topic of 'Enhancing Arctic Shipping Sustainability through Transformative Risk Governance'. Reserve your spot by October 25th! merikotka.fi/en/program-and…
