CADMUSS – an innovative project to improve maritime safety
The evaluation of a (maritime) traffic situation requires sound training and professional experience. Decisions can be made based on this training and experience. (Partially) autonomous ships must be trained or require generalized algorithms to react appropriately in any situation. The goal is for vessels to be able to determine the technical manoeuvring distance and the required personal perceived safety distance.

Emissions
Scrapping Probabilities and Committed CO2 Emissions of the International Ship Fleet
Abstract: Fighting climate change demands action in all sectors. International shipping faces the challenge of long lifetimes of vessels compared to other modes of transportation like cars or aircraft. Decisions on energy carriers and propulsion technologies that are made now have a long-lasting impact on the emissions of the sector.

Emissions
The CO2 reduction potential of shore-side electricity in Europe
Abstract: Shore-side electricity can drastically reduce the emissions from fossil fuel-powered auxiliary engines of ships at berth. Data scarcity on the auxiliary power demand at berth has limited the scope and temporal resolution of previous studies to few ports and ships.

Routing Network
Generating a node in an AIS-based routing graph for improved Estimated Time of Arrival. (Big) Data challenge: using AIS for generating a routing graph
Abstract: For the international exchange of goods, an exact estimated time of arrival (ETA), especially in case of delays, is of great importance. Using global data of the automatic identification system (AIS) a grid node is generated. The sum of such nodes and their connections form a routing graph. As an example, with one node of in total more than 100,000 nodes it is described how this point gets the maximum vessel length and draft assigned.

GMSA: A Digital Twin Application for Maritime Route and Event Forecasting
Digital twins are increasingly valuable in sectors like maritime,energy, logistics and transportation. In the maritime industry, the complexity of monitoring vessel traffic, necessitates more sophisticated, data-driven approaches due to the high volume of vessels and intricate movement patterns. This paper introduces GMSA, adigital twin application for maritime route and event forecasting for the entire global fleet, utilizing the real-time AIS streaming service of Kpler (MarineTraffic), for maritime event detection, vessel route prediction and traffic state estimation. Through the combined views of the real-time event detection functions, the vessel and port-specific data driven models, and the visualization of historical aggregated vessel mobility metrics, the application creates a a multi-layer information system for efficient, proactive action planning and enhanced decision making for the end-user.

Patterns of Life : Global Inventory for maritime mobility patterns
More than 70% [22] of the global trade transportation is conducted by sea, through maritime sea lanes. Unlike the well defined global land transportation network that consists of roads and railways, the maritime equivalent consists of port connections and is vaguely defined by marine charts’ guidelines, constraints and common sea routes. By definition, the port of origin and port of destination are well defined locations. However, the routes that the vessels follow in between are not strictly defined. Local conditions, such as the weather or traffic congestion, vessel-specific characteristics or other external conditions also affect the route choice and planning.
