Abstract
With the rapid development of ICT and Artificial Intelligence, industrial upgrading is undergoing in the maritime industry, where many techniques have been developed to enhance maritime safety and improving the automation and intelligence of ships, equipment, and infrastructure. The maritime environment, however, is complex, harsh and even brutal for such novel techniques. Thus, it is crucial to consider the safety and reliability of such techniques in the whole-life cycle of maritime systems including design, construction, maintenance, and operation phases.
This Symposium is going to be organized associated with the 5th Workshop on Maritime Safety and Smart Shipping (MSSS), followed by previous ones in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020. It will bring together leading experts from academia, industry, and interest groups to consolidate and coordinate global research activities on maritime safety and smart shipping. Relevant topics are including but not limited to:
- Developments of autonomous vessels, smart infrastructure, and smart logistics;
- Developments of safety and reliability of marine engineering systems;
- Influence of human factors, climate change, Arctic navigation, and autonomous ships on maritime safety;
- Application of big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in maritime safety and smart shipping.
