This paper describes an application of information presentation based geographic map for maritime information, including navigation information. The work is motivated by the need to prepare maritime information representation and distribution for future generation Web network technology. This works consist of map generation using GML and application to maritime information. GML 3.0 became an adopted specification of the Open Geospatial Consortium(OGC) in January 2003, and is rapidly emerging as the world standard for the encoding, transport and storage of all forms of geographic information. This paper looks at the application of GML to one of the more challenging areas of maritime information. Specific features of GML of interest to maritime information provider are discussed and then illustrated through a series of maritime information case studies. The first phase of the work consists of the construction of GML application schema for using as a base map of maritime information. Maritime information is acquired from multiple sources, including standards documents, database schemas, lexicons, collections of symbol definition. The sources of GML ontological knowledge and the contribution of each source to the overall ontology are described in this paper. In the second phase, the prepared GML is used to create a prototype of the mixed maritime information as a base map - for tagging documents within the maritime domain. An overview of this prototype is included. One application area for these information elements described here is the integrated retrieval of maritime information from diverse sources, ranging from Web sites to nautical chart databases and text documents.

Electronic Navigational Charts(ENCs) are a database for the use of supporting the safety of navigation in marie voyage embedded within the navigational information in the Electronic Chart Display & Information System(ECDIS). Recently IMO made a decision on the mandatory equipment resolution of ECDIS for the international SOLAS vessels until 2018. With this regulation intention together the spontaneous uses from the wide range of marine applications are accelerating the increasing demand for ENCs at both of the navigational purpose and the non-navigational purpose. But there seems to be not enough guidelines or systematic approach for the service of the non navigational purpose. This paper deals with ENCs distribution issues. We present a integrated solution for the ENCs service of both user domains and also demonstrate the implemented results.

Our country has a convoluted coastline and the marine weather fluctuates locally, so it needs effective AtoN operation for the safe navigation of vessels and fishing boats sailing the coast. Especially, large beacon must ensure the safety of the vessels and always lit at night. If large beacons installed in the lighthouse are not lit, vessels can not assure their location. Thus the accidents is likely to occur, which can cause great economic damage. In this paper, we developed a monitoring system of large beacon to monitor and control the status of information. This system was designed for a special purpose of taking precautions against possible accidents on the sea.

The Smart Ship is considered one of the most discussed and novel topics in developing technological period. In this reason, the amount of running researches on it is evolving so fast. As a proof, the faced drawbacks such as the departure of ships, their safety, exchanging data, traffic and data monitoring system are being solved by presenting advanced technologies and innovations like Cloud, BigData, IoT and etc. Expanding the utilization of these technologies in the Marine world emphasizes not only the departure of the ships in the water but also they focus on solving the problems of the ships connected with the communication to the ports. In this paper, we present an IoT based smart reporting and mooring system for vessels and ports. In the proposed system, the ships automatically send all the data about themselves to the port and after getting the data, ports automatically send the information about possible spaces to moor for the ships using the sensors at the port. The intended system gives an amenity to minimize the time, effort and the cost while mooring the vessels.

Underwater acoustic sensors are significantly damaged from underwater explosion. The damage that affects sensor should be evaluated for its smooth operations and safety. For satisfying these objectives, it is necessary to obtain more accurate values of the pressure and the energy flux density by distance. This paper is divided into two part. First, to obtain more accurate value of the pressure and the energy flux density at each point, the simulation results and the reference values were compared. For fitting to the reference pressure and the reference energy flux density, the sizes of fluid and TNT model are corrected, and the comparison results show good agreements. Second, based on these results, the structural integrity of underwater sensor structure was analyzed when TNT located in 10 meters from underwater sensors structure. This simulation used the commercial software MSC/DYTRAN.

Ships built today are larger in scale and feature more complex structures. The ever-evolving systems used on board a ship require vast amounts of data processing. In the future, with the advent of smart ships, unmanned ships and other next-generation ships, the volumes of data to be processed will continue to increase. Yet, to date, ship data has been processed using wired networks. Placed at fixed locations, the nodes on wired networks often fail to process data from mobile devices. Despite many attempts made to use Wi-Fi on ships just as on land to create wireless networks, Wi-Fi has hardly been available due to the complex metal structures of ships. Therefore, Wi-Fi on ships has been patchy as the ship-wide total Wi-Fi coverage has not properly implemented. A new ship-wide wireless network environment is part of the technology conducive to the shipbuilding industry. The wireless network environment should not only serve the purpose of communication but also be able to manage and control multiple features in real-time: fault diagnostics, tracking, accident prevention and safety management. To better understand the characteristics of wireless frequencies for ships, this paper tests the widely used TETRA, UHF and Wi-Fi and sheds light on the features, advantages and disadvantages of each technology in ship settings. The proposed deployment of a Super Wi-Fi network leveraging the legacy UHF system of TMS generates a ship-wide wireless network environment. The experimental findings corroborate the feasibility of the proposed ship-wide Super Wi-Fi network environment.

Maritime traffic assessment is important to understand the characteristics of maritime traffic and to prevent maritime accidents. The maritime traffic assessment can be calculated from the ship trajectory data observed by using AIS(Automatic Identification System). This paper developes a maritime traffic assessment tool using ship's position and speed, course, time data from ships navigating waterways. The results are represented in terms of the number of traffic quantity and traffic distribution, speed distribution, geometric collision candidates. The developed tool will contributes to advance maritime traffic safety by VTS(Vessel Traffic Services).
