Kruimer, Koen (author)This research analyses the potential of Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) as a means for condition monitoring of mechanical defects of induction motor driven thruster assemblies in the maritime industry. This is done by measuring the three phase current and voltage of three thrusters, with different health conditions, of a marine vessel...master thesis 2023

Sui, Zhongyi (author), Wen, Yuanqiao (author), Huang, Yamin (author), Song, R. (author), Piera, Miquel Angel (author)The theoretical analysis of maritime accidents is a hot topic, but the time characteristics and dynamics of maritime accidents time series are still unclear. It is difficult to draw a clear conclusion from the cause analysis, so the accident is difficult to be predicted. To bridge this gap, this research analyzes the characteristics and...journal article 2023

't Hart, Pieter (author), Pruyn, J.F.J. (author), Ferrari, Felipe (author)Many fuels are currently considered for reducing the emissions in shipping; Methanol, LNG, Ammonia, Nuclear, Biodiesel, etc. However, Bio-ethanol is not considered at all.This research looked into all aspects of ethanol in a comparison with its most closely related alternative methanol. Using a similar approach as found in earlier comparisons....report 2023

Li, M. (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Chen, Pengfei (author), Chen, Linying (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Regional risk analysis and management of maritime accidents is one of the fundamental tasks for maritime safety management. With the heavy and complicated maritime traffic in the ports and waterways, accidents, especially ship collision accidents, have been continuously posing threats to the maritime transportation system. To achieve effective...journal article 2023

Fazi, S. (author), Choudhary, Sourabh Kumar (author), Dong, Jing Xin (author)We study a typical daily drayage problem concerning the last-mile logistics at seaports for inland container supply chains. A set of trucks available at an inland container terminal must fulfil shippers’ requests of transporting containers within time windows and, to do so, can perform multiple daily trips. A request may entail picking up or...journal article 2023

Zhao, Changjiu (author), Zhang, Wenjun (author), Chen, C.Y. (author), Yang, Xue (author), Yue, Jingwen (author), Han, Bing (author)In the maritime industry, unsafe behaviors exhibited by crew members are a significant factor contributing to shipping and occupational accidents. Among these behaviors, unsafe operation of mooring lines is particularly prone to causing severe accidents. Video-based monitoring has been demonstrated as an effective means of detecting these...journal article 2023

van der Linden, Nordin (author)Organisations worldwide are decreasing their Greenhouse Gas emissions. The maritime industry is also contributing to this and trying to reduce its emissions but has done this inadequately. Reasons for this are that the required decrease in emissions varies widely between different vessels, many workboats are currently avoiding emissions...master thesis 2022

Moorlag, Lucas (author)The maritime industry is preparing for a future where human presence is no longer required on board of ships. This will revolutionize the global execution of maritime operations and consequentially introduce unprecedented challenges to the corresponding logistics. This paper presents a non-standard facility location problem (FLP) that arises in...master thesis 2022

van Bemmel, Jeroen (author)Propellers are used to propel the vast majority of ships. They are most commonly made out of Nickel-Aluminum-Bronze alloys. This is due to their superior characteristics over other metals in terms of strength and corrosion resistance. Metal propellers are assumed to be rigid and undeformable. Current research opts to construct propellers out of...master thesis 2022

Berkien, Jens (author), KIM, MINSEONG (author), Leito, O'Neilmaye (author), Mejia, Francisca (author)The Netherlands has set the ambitious goal to have a fully circular economy by 2050. The Port of Rotterdam (PoR), the largest and busiest port in Europe, has strong potential to become a future circular hub. The PoR has been a major player in the seaport industry for centuries with, among others, a strong logistics sector and a robust...student report 2022

Shisodia, Akhilesh (author), Yan, Anyi (author), Ottema, Froukje (author), van Os, Pieter (author)The Netherlands is inextricably linked to a network of water, polders, and dykes. Recent climatic and anthropogenic transitions pose several threats to destabilize this balance including the rise in sea level, extreme weather, and floods which could drastically change the landscape of South Holland as we know it by 2100. With this potentially...student report 2022

Kalligeri Skentzou, Anna (author), Verkleij, Charlotte (author), Speulman, Manon (author), Zhang, Yueqi (author)Mankind is exhausting natural resources. Therefore, the need to transform the linear material flows towards circular chains is increasing. Steel is a material that is produced and used globally and has high potentials for recycling. However, in the maritime sector, steel is currently barely recycled, let alone reused in a more direct way....student report 2022

Huang, Chloe (author), Koch, Matthijs (author), YU, Zhuo (author), van Hal, Sophie (author)Different government bodies, from the European Union down to the Port of Rotterdam Authority have implemented the policy goal to become circular by 2050 to minimize demand and dependence on finite resources. However, a circular economy - an economic model in which materials circulate in closed loops and waste is viewed as a resource - is vastly...student report 2022

(author), Bricker, J.D. (author)The energy transition requires large-scale storage to provide long-term supply and short-term grid stability. Though pumped hydro storage is widely used for this purpose, regions without natural topography do not have the potential for traditional high-head pumped hydro storage. To address this, multiple projects for low-head and seawater...review 2022

Vasilikis, N. (author), Geertsma, R.D. (author), Visser, K. (author)Ship designers hardly ever receive feedback from the actual operation of their designs apart from sea acceptance trials. Similarly, crews operating the vessels do not receive a clear picture of the energy performance and environmental footprint of different options. This paper proposes a methodology based on operational data from continuous...journal article 2022
