ABSTRACTCoral reefs are home to a variety of flora and fauna and carry huge potential in serving the national interests of the coastal states that host them. The research uses an environment security theoretical framework to understand how it is the state’s prerogative to protect coral reefs to protect its own national interest. Active state involvement in the protection of reef ecosystems is the most practical option in the face of global warming and climate change, with limited consensus on this environmental problem within the international community. The research explains how a state can actively engage in coral reef management by focusing on pollution control related to tourist activity in the reef areas. A comparative analysis of coral reef management by India and Australia shows how active coral reef management can help protect reef structures, giving maximum return benefits to the state. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsVrinda AravindVrinda Aravind is a PhD candidate at MMAJ Academy of International Studies, Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, India.

ABSTRACTThe US network of military alliances and security partnerships in the region has allowed it to influence Indo-Pacific affairs. But, a rapid shift in the balance of power in favour of China has threatened the US interests and security commitments with its regional allies. Hence, the AUKUS is a continuance of the US strategy of pivoting to Asia conceived by the Obama administration and a part of broader US efforts to balance revisionist China in the Indo-Pacific. Through AUKUS, the US has an opportunity to enhance the capabilities of its ally, Australia, to balance aggressive China. Convergence of security and foreign policy objectives with the US has encouraged Britain and Australia to be the parties of AUKUS. AUKUS would boost Australia's capabilities for shaping its regional strategic and security environment and develop a durable strategic power balance in the region. As a natural ally of the US and Australia, Britain also opposes China's illegal territorial claims and activities in the South and East China Seas and has developed a policy of integrated and collective actions with allies to protect the common interests through the AUKUS partnership.KEYWORDS: Balance of PowerNuclear-Powered SubmarinesTrilateral Security PartnershipDefence CapabilitiesIndo-Pacific Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsSuneel KumarSuneel Kumar is a faculty member in the Department of Strategic and Regional Studies, University of Jammu, Jammu, India.

ABSTRACTThe maritime transport sector is a crucial domestic and regional economic engine, and maritime clusters can significantly enhance business operations and a country’s economy. South Asia does not have any recognised world-class maritime clusters but shows signs of intense clustering of the maritime sector. This study is the first to investigate the potential for maritime cluster development among ports in South Asia. The study adopted the following steps to reach a consensus on the clustering potential of eleven major south-Asian ports. First, experts were asked to rate eleven major South Asian ports on factors related to maritime cluster performance given by de Langen's cluster structure–cluster governance framework. These responses were used as input in the fuzzy-Delphi method to determine the weights of the factors. The ports were then ranked using the TOPSIS method based on their performance on these factors, which permitted an analysis of the long-term clustering potential of the evaluated South Asian port cities. The top three ranked ports were JNPT Mumbai, Port of Malé, and Port of Kolkata, offering valuable insights for port authorities, stakeholders, and policymakers to optimize resource usage and alleviate bottlenecks in South Asian maritime cluster development.KEYWORDS: South Asian maritime portsSouth Asian maritime clustersFuzzy Delphi techniqueclustering potentialmaritime cluster potentialSouth Asian seaports Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsGupta Kapil VinodKapil Vinod Gupta is a PhD student in the area of Operations and Technology Management at ABV- Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior, India.

ABSTRACTPreliminary studies have highlighted the potential of Indonesia's geographical, suprastructural, and infrastructural conditions to develop a strong shipbuilding industry, which is crucial for the success of the world maritime axis program and sea toll. However, despite high expectations, the industry faces challenges that threaten business sustainability, leading to bankruptcies. To assess business sustainability, it is essential to establish criteria and sub-criteria, which previous studies have overlooked, focusing only on technical and economic factors. Therefore, this research generally aims to develop and analyze environmentally friendly sustainable criteria in the multi-oriented shipyard industry so that it develops in accordance with the vision, mission, goals and strategies. The criteria development process involves identifying and reviewing relevant articles, classifying and refining the criteria, conducting expert validity testing, Pearson Product Moment validity testing, and reliability testing using the Alpha (Cronbach) method. The expert validity testing indicates that ‘people' received the highest average score of 4.67 among the criteria, and ‘infrastructure' scored the highest in the sub-criteria, with a score of 4.75. The validity testing with the Pearson Product Moment method demonstrates that the criteria and sub-criteria are valid and the reliability of 32 sub-criteria indicating their influence on promoting multi-oriented and environmentally sustainable shipbuilding industries.KEYWORDS: IndonesiaSPSS softwareShipyard Industrysustainability AcknowledgementsThe authors are grateful to the promoters and co-promoters from Brawijaya University for providing guidance, input, and suggestions as well as support in completing this research, and to the Rector of Hang Tuah University for supporting the facilities and infrastructure to properly complete this research.

ABSTRACT Seaports enable national and international trade in nearly every country around the globe. The new digital world has led most seaport sectors to fully embrace new technologies and tools to better compete with other seaports. Moreover, such maritime activities have potentially significant effects on regional development. The east coast region in Peninsular Malaysia is less developed than the west coast region. It has caused a significant regional development gap, particularly in infrastructure quality, community services, production volume diversification, job opportunities and rising average wealth. Firstly, this study assesses how economic activities affect regional development in Peninsular Malaysia. Secondly, this study aims to identify the challenges and strategies for resolving the regional development imbalance in Peninsular Malaysia. A semi-structured face-to-face interview with fifteen maritime experts was adopted to achieve the proposed objectives. Interview outcomes helped identify and resolve significant problems and create strategies to facilitate the regional development of Malaysian seaports. IR 4.0: These novel strategies may lead to digitalisation in decision-making methods concerning regional development in the Malaysian seaport sector. Integrating four approaches could increase the regional development progress and facilitate continuous growth for the Malaysian seaport industry. The new findings recommend Malaysian seaport digitalisation through progressive regional development.

There are many industries wherein gender imbalance is the norm. One of these is shipping. As far as gender is concerned, the maritime domain seems to be a catalyst for discrimination on board vessels and on shore. The number of women as compared to that of men is completely unbalanced and what is more so, even the few women that are employed in the entirety of the maritime domain, may be faced with further discriminatory practices; exclusion, harassment, and even abuse. Within this situation, the studies demonstrating and analysing the specifics of gender dynamics in shipping are sparse. This distinct research gap is covered by the present work. A questionnaire-based survey was administered with reference to pertinent strategic factors in shipping and the responses were segregated based on gender. Statistical analysis uncovers that there are differing perceptions in the way males and females acknowledge different factors. Further cluster analysis in the results reveals that both females and males can contribute distinct added value to the shipping sector. These results are important as they prove that the gender imbalance in shipping is completely unsubstantiated and needs to be addressed imminently if the industry wishes to head towards a sustainable paradigm.

ABSTRACT Maritime safety is important for all stakeholders. On the other hand, maritime accidents occur despite rapid advances in technology. One of the most important aspects necessary to realise safety at sea is the safety of navigation. Navigating high-speed craft (HSC) is a more challenging and risky task than other types of ship navigation. A HSC navigator with insufficient safety culture (SC) may lead to wrong decisions in challenging physiological and psychological conditions. In this study, an analysis of HSC navigators’ SC in terms of bridge operations has been carried out. Nordic Occupational Safety Climate Questionnaire (NOSACQ-50) and pairwise comparison of the effects of Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA), Automatic Identification System (AIS) and autopilot on SC have been applied to 38 Turkish HSC navigators. Navigation operations according to SC, factors that mostly influence SC and suggestions that will improve SC have been identified and discussed in accordance with navigators’ perceptions. The results show that the overall average level of HSC navigators’ SC is low. Therefore, considerations are introduced to improve SC in HSCs.

ABSTRACT This study develops a knowledge-based planned maintenance system (PMS) supported by reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) analysis. The system enables maintenance plan revisions based on the data analysis which calculates instant RAM values and predicts the future trends. The visualised data is monitored to support decisions at both the operational and management level. The proposed system is demonstrated with the periodical data of the main engine installed onboard a container ship. Particularly, the data visualization is conducted on fuel injection valves. The results illustrate that the enhanced PMS system adds value to the timely and effective planning of routine and non-routine maintenance tasks onboard ships. Considering the existing potential of PMS applications onboard ships, the RAM analysis provides reasonable contributions to ship engine room crew and technical managers. The further study focuses on developing a maintenance planning app to digitalise the process and to strengthen compliance with ISM Code Clause 10 and TMSA 4A.4 requirements.

Celik","doi":"10.1080/18366503.2022.2075575","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/18366503.2022.2075575","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This study develops a knowledge-based planned maintenance system (PMS) supported by reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) analysis. The system enables maintenance plan revisions based on the data analysis which calculates instant RAM values and predicts the future trends. The visualised data is monitored to support decisions at both the operational and management level. The proposed system is demonstrated with the periodical data of the main engine installed onboard a container ship. Particularly, the data visualization is conducted on fuel injection valves. The results illustrate that the enhanced PMS system adds value to the timely and effective planning of routine and non-routine maintenance tasks onboard ships. Considering the existing potential of PMS applications onboard ships, the RAM analysis provides reasonable contributions to ship engine room crew and technical managers. The further study focuses on developing a maintenance planning app to digitalise the process and to strengthen compliance with ISM Code Clause 10 and TMSA 4A.4 requirements.","PeriodicalId":37179,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Maritime and Ocean Affairs","volume":"99 1","pages":"357 - 376"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76070504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
