Prediction of the Ultra-Large Container Ships' Propulsion Power at the Initial Design Stage by Piotr Kamil Korlak

“…Using a simple cubic regression model, based on the least squares method, an equation, compliant to the general propeller law, was developed to predict the propulsion power of ultra-large container ships as a function of their sailing speed. The results obtained using the developed equation should be sufficiently close to the results of the exact verification calculations at the technical design stage. …”

Ship Path Planning Based on Buoy Offset Historical Trajectory Data by Shibo Zhou, Zhizheng Wu, Lüzhen Ren

“…Furthermore, the collision-free path planning approach is presented to dynamically recommend an accurate sailing path. The results of the simulation experiment show that this method can effectively deal with collisions of ships caused by the offset position of the light buoys during the navigation of the large and low-speed autonomous ships.…”

A port at the edge of the Sea of the Greeks: Hellenism in Thônis-Heracleion, Egypt by Robinson, D, Goddio, F

“…Located at the edge of the ‘Sea of the Greeks’ Thonis‑Heracleion was an important port of call for Greek traders sailing to Egypt. Initially a fortified gateway to the westernmost navigable branch of the Nile, the port developed into the most important emporium in the country from the time of the Saïte period and was most probably at the origin of the dynasty’s wealth. …”

Impacts of GPS Spoofing on Path Planning of Unmanned Surface Ships by Jia Wang, Yang Xiao, Tieshan Li, C. L. Philip Chen

“…Unfortunately, once the path planning algorithm uses inaccurate or even fake data, it will lead to ship collision, grounding, or deviation from the course, causing severe economic losses and causing significant security risks to other sailing ships. This paper aims to study the impacts of GPS spoofing on the path planning of unmanned ships. …”
