    • Advanced data cluster analyses in digital twin development for marine engines towards ship performance quantification 

      Taghavi, Mahmood; Perera, Lokukaluge Prasad Channa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-24)
      Due to the growing rate of energy consumption, it is necessary to develop frameworks for enhancing ship energy efficiency. This paper proposes a solution for this issue by introducing a digital twin framework for quantifying ship performance. For this purpose, extensive low-level clustering is performed using Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) with the Expectation Maximization algorithm on a dataset ...
    • Energy-Efficient Marine Engine and Dynamic Wing Evaluation Under Laboratory Conditions to Achieve Emission Reduction Targets in Shipping 

      Perera, Lokukaluge Prasad Channa; Belibassakis, Kostas (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-09-22)
      There is a requirement to comply with the forthcoming IMO & EU requirements to reduce ship emissions by at least 40% in 2030 compared to the 2008 levels. Such medium-term emission reduction targets can only be achieved by introducing novel technologies into the shipping industry. The SeaTech H2020 project (seatech2020.eu) introduces two main innovations that can support the same emission reduction ...
    • Conceptualizing AMR as a creeping disaster in terms of pace and space 

      Staupe-Delgado, Reidar; Engstrom, Alina; Cadiz, Sebastian Andres Frugone (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Traditionally defined, disasters are understood as relatively limited in duration. Yet we also know that some disasters are of a creeping and indeed perpetual nature – their onsets do not seize to advance. One example is AMR. In theory, it should be easier to respond to such creeping disasters as a result of their slow build up. In reality, however, swift response to creeping disasters rarely ...
    • The challenges experts face during creeping crises: the curse of complacency 

      Zaman, Ahmad Wesal; Rubin, Olivier; Staupe, Reidar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-05)
      The policy literature has generally conceptualised crises as urgent public threats with clearly demarcated ‘focusing events’. Consequently, most studies have identified the main challenges faced by expert agencies involved in evidence-based policymaking as managing uncertainty, time pressure and communication. However, less focus has been devoted to analysing the concrete challenges faced by expert ...

      In recent years, sustainable development and the commitment of companies to social responsibility have been emphasized as a new concern for various industries. Considering this issue, for the first time, this study conducted a systematic review of the development of social responsibility from the perspective of industrial sustainable development (SD). To be more precise, this study investigated ...
    • A Concept of Information-Based Strategy for Accident Prevention 

      Zhu, Tiantian; Naseri, Masoud; Liu, Yiliu (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      With the increasing use of sensor technology, it has become common practice to use collected data to reduce uncertainty and ensure safety. This paper presents the concept of an information-based strategy for accident prevention that puts more weight on hazard detection and monitoring and makes use of data obtained. The information-based strategy can be considered as a new barrier for safety management. ...
    • The effects of uplift and erosion on the petroleum systems in the southwestern Barents Sea: Insights from seismic data and 2D petroleum systems modelling 

      Ktenas, Dimitrios; Nielsen, Jesper Kresten; Henriksen, Erik; Meisingset, Ivar; Schenk, Oliver (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-05)
      In the past three decades, the hydrocarbon prospectivity has been enigmatic in the southwestern Barents Sea as gas discoveries have dominated over oil. However, more recent discoveries indicate oil potential, especially in the Polheim Platform and Hoop Complex areas. Cenozoic uplift and erosion episodes are critical because they control the duration and depth of maximum burial of source rocks and ...
    • A Review of Learning Analytics Dashboard and a Novel Application in Maritime Simulator Training 

      Munim, Ziaul Haque; Kim, Tae Eun (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Developing a Learning Analytics Dashboard (LAD) to evaluate maritime simulation training performance based on key performance indicators (KPIs) of maritime navigational competence can improve learning efficiency and effectiveness. Relevant data needs to be fed from simulation training logs and other sources, analysed using appropriate visualization and artificial intelligence approaches, and reported ...

    • Marine Operations in Arctic conditions 

      Gudmestad, Ove Tobias; Døskeland, Øystein Husevåg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Marine operations require careful early planning and thereafter detailed planning prior to project execution. The time from initiating an operation to finalization of the activity is typically several days. The activity can only be conducted during limited weather conditions. The planning prior to the offshore operations does, therefore, require accurate weather forecasting. The weather conditions ...

Multicriteria decision-making methods (MCDM) have been ...
    • Resilienssin ulottuvuudet [The dimensions of resilience; in Finnish] 

      Pursiainen, Christer Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-22)
      Resilienssi on aikamme iskusanoja. Termillä on pitkät perinteet, mutta vasta 2010-luvulla se nousi suureen suosioon. Resilienssiä tutkitaan usean tieteenalan piirissä, ja termillä on lukuisia käytännöllisiä sovellusaloja. Tämä on johtanut siihen, että ei ole yksiselitteistä, mitä resilienssi milloinkin tarkoittaa. Termin kääntäminen kansallisille kielille, useimmiten tavoittamatta sen moninaisuutta, ...
    • Climate Change Impacts on Mining Value Chain: A Systematic Literature Review

      Winther, Susanna N; Gudmestad, Ove Tobias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-21)
      Climate changes forces us to make significant mitigation and adaptation measures. As temperature rises and the environmental conditions changes, a variety of challenges occur. Across the whole globe, harming consequences are already being experienced. The Arctic region is particularly vulnerable to changes in Earth’s climate system, especially because of the albedo effect, and the region is ...
    • Design, development and deployment of a novel sea spray collector for sea-spray flux measurements 

      Dhar, Sushmit; Naseri, Masoud; Khawaja, Hassan Abbas; Edvardsen, Kåre; Zhu, Tiantian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-19)
      The risk of sea-spray icing on vessels and marine structures in cold regions highlights the need for an accurate and robust marine-icing estimation model. To develop such a model, it is crucial to accurately determine the quantity of liquid water available for freezing on the structure, as it directly influences ice formation. As sea spray constitutes the primary source of liquid water contributing ...
    • Real-Time Ship Draft Measurement and Optimal Estimation Using Kalman Filter 

      Dhar, Sushmit; Khawaja, Hassan Abbas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-02)
      Ship operators typically depend on the visual method for draft reading, which may lead to errors or approximations, and it further introduces draft survey calculation errors and can not provide continuous updates. Ensuring accurate real-time ship draft measurement becomes crucial for enhancing navigational safety, optimizing vessel performance, and achieving precise cargo and consumable measurements. ...
    • Security of Supply: A National or European Competence? 

      Tuominen, Tomi; Halonen, Kirsi-Maria; Salminen, Mirva Miia Tuulikki (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-16)
      Security of supply refers to governmental policies that aim to secure the availability of critical products at all times. The COVID-19 pandemic brought to fore the importance of such policies, as suddenly there was an overwhelming need for critical medical supplies that the markets were not able to fulfil. Following the pandemic, the EU has started to construct its own security of supply policy, ...
