Short-term vessel trajectory and manoeuvre prediction: Predicting vessel trajectories including swing manoeuvres in a scoped area of the Port of Antwerp-Bruges

Situational awareness within port areas is crucial to avoid collisions, navigate efficiently and reduce congestion. Maritime-traffic controllers constantly monitor the situation in the port and intervene when needed. This study proposes a deep learning model that predicts future vessel positions to assist in this process. The model employs a...
