ABSTRACT The strategic maritime environment of the Indian Ocean exhibits growing geopolitical tussle between the U.S. and China and have regional implications. In an attempt to contain the rising influence of China, U.S. strengthens its collaboration with India to elevate its status as a ‘net security provider’ in the region by offering it access to highly sophisticated defence related equipment. This paper is an attempt to contextualise the regional dimension of superpower rivalry. It offers analysis of India’s evolving maritime strategy and primarily focuses on two significant trends that directly undermine regional stability. These include: first, introduction of ‘Indo-Pacific’ as a regional construct that enables India to enhance its naval capabilities and use maritime diplomacy to forge strategic relationships in its pursuit of dominating the Ocean and secondly, the maritime dimension of South Asian strategic environment where India’s pursuit of sea-based nuclear forces further adds to New Delhi’s aggressive nuclear posture and directly undermines deterrence stability vis-à-vis Pakistan.

ABSTRACT In the globalised maritime transport sector, Malaysian ships and local seafarers play a crucial role in the development of the country’s economy. Therefore, this paper examines Malaysia’s ratification of international maritime conventions, its authorisation of classification societies and its maritime education training centres that have become key elements in influencing local ship registration and the production of seafarers. This paper analyses the current Malaysian ship registration and seafarers, including the existing number of seafarers that are engaged on board Malaysian and foreign ships. In this paper, we present the JALIN (ship registration data) and SDPx (seafarers’ data) systems application, which are developed by the Marine Department Malaysia as data sources, and a descriptive analysis of data using MS-Excel 2010 and Minitab 19. As a result, this paper analysed the Malaysian ship registration and seafarers for streamlining future Malaysian shipping governance in order to identify current potentials and barriers. In addition, this paper provides vital information for Malaysian government strategies concerning seafarers’ management in streamlining future national shipping governance. In addition, this result can serve as big data information to develop effective measures catering to the needs of the Malaysian shipping industry and assist policymakers to make decisions.

ABSTRACT Selection of the appropriate Roll-on Roll-off (Ro-Ro) port is one of the crucial tasks for the maritime industry. Because there are many factors affecting the selection process, this selection process is essentially a multi-criteria decision-making problem. This paper proposes a integrated approach consisting of the CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) technique and the EDAS (Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution) method to evaluate the Ro-Ro marine ports selection. The obtained results by using the proposed model have been verified carrying out a comprehensive sensitivity analysis. In accordance with this purpose, 10 different scenarios were established and five MCDM methods were applied to make a comparison. Results obtained using the suggested model were verified in dynamic conditions. The main purpose of this implementation is to determine whether any change in the obtained results for each determined scenario. Carried out sensitivity analysis shows that the suggested hybrid MCDM model consisting of CRITIC and EDAS techniques has validity and the obtained results are accurate and realistic. When the results of the sensitivity analysis are reviewed, it can be seen that the P1 option is the best alternative for all scenarios.
选择合适的滚装滚装(Ro-Ro)港口是海事行业的关键任务之一。因为影响选择过程的因素很多，所以这个选择过程本质上是一个多准则决策问题。本文提出了一种综合评价滚装港口选择的方法，该方法由critical (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation)技术和EDAS (Evaluation based from Average Solution)方法组成。利用该模型得到的结果进行了综合敏感性分析，并得到了验证。为此，我们建立了10个不同的场景，并采用5种MCDM方法进行比较。采用该模型得到的结果在动态条件下得到了验证。此实现的主要目的是确定对于每个确定的场景所获得的结果是否有任何更改。灵敏度分析表明，本文提出的由CRITIC和EDAS技术组成的混合MCDM模型是有效的，所得结果准确、真实。当审查敏感性分析的结果时，可以看到P1选项是所有方案的最佳替代方案。

ABSTRACT This study seeks to investigate the resilience of energy black market in the Gulf of Guinea. The objective of the study is carried out in a theoretical elucidation grounded in qualitative empirical research. The study argues that the regional ‘black’ market of the trivet of crude oil theft, petro-piracy and illegal trade in fuel is an organised business crime; a well-structured illegal enterprise which thrives on inadequate energy infrastructure and corruption in the region. The key ingredients, processes and institutions of the ‘black’ economy are constructed within socio-economic networks, exist in an overlap, and operate in a constantly mutating crime environment. The study concludes that business–network–environment nexus of crime provides a justifiable explanation for the elasticity of the crude economy in the Gulf of Guinea, with the enterprise’s socio-economic infrastructure enhancing its susceptibility as much as it reinforces its resilience and should be the fulcrum of targeted measures.

ABSTRACT In terms of global transport issues, the port industry provides a major advantage by linking countries through seaborne trade. Nonetheless, natural hazards often threaten the profitability of seaport operations. Since most ports are situated in coastal areas, they are highly vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis. Earthquakes and tsunamis phenomena have been critically addressed at the operational planning stage in the maritime transport sector, where the disruption management department considers these phenomena as the major events that can lead to operation disruption. A new framework to study the destruction of earthquakes and tsunamis during seaport operations is established in this paper. For modeling the disruption analysis, a blend of various decision-making approaches such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Evidential Reasoning (ER), is used to model the disturbance analysis. Firstly, by using the AHP process, the disruption of earthquakes and tsunamis in seaport operations is defined and prioritized. Secondly, the disruption stages are assessed and synthesized by using the ER method. Penang Port is chosen as a case study to illustrate the applicability of the research model. This analysis model is capable of assisting seaport operators to perform self-assessment of earthquakes and tsunamis to improve the operational sustainability in a seaport.

ABSTRACT This article will consider the Geopolitics of the CPEC and its security implication for India in the Indian Ocean. The CPEC is a multi-billion dollars’ mega project that would connect the city of Kashgar in China's northwestern region of Xinjiang to the port city of Gwadar in Pakistan's province in Balochistan. A significant milestone for the project was reached when the management of the Gwadar Port was given to Chinese Overseas Port Holdings in 2013. This paper intends to go beyond economics and look at CPEC through the lens of geopolitics. CPEC would outline China's long-term geopolitical plans in the Indian Ocean which could alter the region's security environment. However, both China and Pakistan are faced with a series of challenges that hinder the maximisation of the project; nevertheless, the CPEC still has serious security implications for India. Issues that encompass India's territorial integrity and the naval build-up of China and Pakistan in the Indian Ocean significantly challenge its strategic and geopolitical interests in the region. India is thus opposed to the development of the CPEC in its backyard and must craft a strategy that would serve as a counter-weight in the region.

ABSTRACT Both India and China are ‘Pioneer investor’ nations for Deep Seabed Mining (DSM). Both these nations commenced their exploration quest of the deep seabed at nearly the same time and today are one of the few nations persisting with DSM. These notwithstanding, the developments made by China in this comparative period are many magnitudes more than that made by India. While India has limited its research to the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), China has gone global to win five exploration contracts from the International Seabed Authority (ISA). China is also rated as the first country that would commence exploitation once the exploitation rules are promulgated by the ISA. In going global, China has the exploration rights in the Indian Ocean for polymetallic sulphides with efforts to acquire some more Area in this oceanic space. While China grows technologically in the field of DSM and deploys its assets in the IOR, it is adding to the already skewed threat perception thereby becoming a matter of security concern for India. It is with this understanding that the article aims to look at the developments made and the involvement of China in the IOR for DSM and their resultant security implications for India.

ABSTRACT The Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) is considered a successful regime governing the Antarctic region. This success is principally based on Article IV of the Antarctic Treaty which has suspended disruptive arguments about territorial claims in Antarctica. However, the ATS is not the only regime governing this region. The interplay between the ATS with other regimes such as the Law of the Sea within the ‘Antarctic regime complex’ (i.e. the variety of different overlapping and non-hierarchical institutions and regimes governing the Antarctic region) may challenge Antarctic governance. The amendment to Argentinian legislation on ‘Maritime Spaces' and the publication of a map that incorporates to the Argentine territory the coordinates of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles have recently sparked political tension between Argentina and Chile regarding their overlapping claims to territory in the Antarctic Peninsula. By assessing the Argentine legislation and map, and Chile’s reaction to these events, this article aims to examine the institutional interplay between the ATS and the Law of the Sea regime within the ‘Antarctic regime complex'. The article concludes that this interplay has potential implications for Antarctic governance and proves that the national concerns over territorial claims in Antarctica still impact States’ behaviour.

ABSTRACT China has become an important player in Antarctic governance. Nevertheless, it still has not legislated a law on Antarctica or issued any strategy for its Antarctic activities. As political narratives play an important role in shaping policies, this paper conducted a critical discourse analysis of six key political narratives in China’s politics and diplomacy to assess their implications to China and the Antarctic Treaty System. This paper concludes that the narratives do not contradict the Antarctic Treaty’s core values, but the nationalism discourses could make China more assertive in the deliberations. These narratives could also be used as opportunities for seeking a common ground when engaging dialogues with China.

ABSTRACT The fishing port provides some services in fishing activities, including clean water supplies. This study aimed to determine the supply mechanism for the clean water needs in fishing activities at Kutaraja Fishing Port. The case study method was used by analysing the level of clean water needed fishermen need. The results showed a theoretical demand of clean water in fishing activities was approximately 7,497,871.247 tonnes/year, encompassing the clean variant for fishing at 34,412.7 tonnes/year, washing catches at 462,402.19 tonnes/ year and cleaning the fishing equipment at 1,056.36 tonnes/year. Cumulatively, the clean water requirements for actual fishing activities at the Kutaraja Fishing Port was equivalent to 13,237.52 tonnes/year. This results from the demand during the washing of catches and also in equipment cleansing.

The results showed a theoretical demand of clean water in fishing activities was approximately 7,497,871.247 tonnes/year, encompassing the clean variant for fishing at 34,412.7 tonnes/year, washing catches at 462,402.19 tonnes/ year and cleaning the fishing equipment at 1,056.36 tonnes/year. Cumulatively, the clean water requirements for actual fishing activities at the Kutaraja Fishing Port was equivalent to 13,237.52 tonnes/year. This results from the demand during the washing of catches and also in equipment cleansing.","PeriodicalId":37179,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Maritime and Ocean Affairs","volume":"107 1","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77737379","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}
