Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite a decrease in the number of accidents in marine transportation, the potential economic loss, property damage, casualties, and environmental pollution caused by maritime accidents continue to garner global attention in recent years. As a result, there is an increased interest in risk assessment and safety analysis in maritime transport. Simultaneously, with advancements in big data and artificial intelligence technologies, risk assessment and safety analysis techniques continue to evolve. Further exploration is required in employing interdisciplinary methods, multi-source data, and advanced theories to effectively and meaningfully quantify, predict, and mitigate risks in the field of marine transportation. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on several carefully selected contemporary issues in the risk assessment and safety analysis of marine transport. The objective is to rapidly disseminate the latest research and knowledge in this important area.
The scope of this Special Issue includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- Qualitative and quantitative risk assessment of marine transport;
- Risk management related to accident prevention and mitigation;
- Maritime accident analysis and assessment;
- Safety and resilience management with respect to maritime accidents;
- Artificial intelligence applications for the risk assessment of marine transport;
- Big data analytics for safety analyses of marine transport;
- Risk-based modeling in maritime transportation.
