XML Parametric Assessment of Hull Geometry Effects on the Coupled Dynamics of Semi-Submersible Floating Wind Turbines
P. 1-19
Mohammad Javad Eslahi , Saeid Kazemi * , Mojtaba Ezam , Madjid Ghodsi hassanabad
Abstract (1390 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (376 Downloads)   |   Graphical Abstract   |   Highlights

Highlights
  1. A systematic parametric numerical study was conducted to examine the coupled dynamics of a semi-submersible floating wind turbine platform.
  2. A two-stage workflow combining linear screening and nonlinear time-domain simulations was employed to provide a more realistic response assessment.
  3. Surge, heave, and pitch were identified as the dominant motions, while sway, roll, and yaw remained negligible in the investigated cases.
  4. Platform performance was governed by interacting design variables, including heave-plate geometry, offset-column configuration, mass distribution, and mooring characteristics.
  5. The results indicate a favorable and stable design range, supporting a robust design envelope rather than a single unique optimum.

XML Integrating Machine Learning with Oil Analysis for Predictive Maintenance of Ship Stern Tube Seals
P. 20-30
Mohammad Ali Mohaghegh , Mehdi Behzad * , Somaye Mohammadi
Abstract (645 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (189 Downloads)   |   Graphical Abstract   |   Highlights

 Highlights 

 1. Critical Role of Stern Tube Monitoring, ensuring safe and reliable ship operation requires continuous monitoring of the stern tube as a key marine component.
2. AI-Driven Oil Analysis, the study integrates real oil analysis data with advanced AI algorithms, achieving about 85% accuracy.
3. Real-World Validation, the proposed method was successfully validated under actual sea operating conditions.
4. Early Fault Detection, potential failures were identified up to six months before dry docking, enabling timely maintenance and risk reduction.
5. Enhanced Reliability and Sustainability, combining tribology with data-driven analytics improve stern tube reliability and supports sustainable maritime operation.

XML Numerical Modeling of the Sedimentation in the Chabahar Bay Area under the Influence of Shahid Beheshti Port Development
P. 31-41
Shahab Chakarzehi , Mehdi Rezapour * , Seyed Amin Hosseini , Zahra Ranji
Abstract (566 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (156 Downloads)   |   Graphical Abstract   |   Highlights

Highlights
A calibrated MIKE21 model successfully simulated wave, current, and sediment dynamics in Chabahar Bay.
Port development reduced wave energy, modified hydrodynamic circulation, and altered sediment transport pathways, increasing deposition between Shahid Beheshti and Shahid Kalantari Ports while identifying erosion-prone coastal zones.
The results provide a reliable tool for sustainable port development and coastal management.

XML Forecasting Stock Return Predictability of Maritime Shipping Companies: A Recursive Modelling Approach with Implications for Market-Risk Assessment
P. 31-43
Kasra Pourkermani *
Abstract (578 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (117 Downloads)   |   Graphical Abstract   |   Highlights

Highlights 
  1. Applies a recursive out-of-sample forecasting framework to five tanker-shipping stocks vs. the S&P 500.
  2. Shows the fixed All-Variable model beats all criterion-selected models (R², AIC, BIC), net of costs.
  3. Reveals a large gross-vs-net return gap once 20% transaction costs are applied to switching strategies.
  4. Identifies crude oil and broad commodity indices as the most consistently retained predictors.
  5. Frames shipping-equity predictability as a market-risk proxy for fleet-investment decisions.

XML An Integrated MCDM Framework for Risk Assessment of Commercial Fishing Vessel Subsystems: Resolving Methodological Ambiguities in Maritime Safety
P. 61-80
Esmaeil Shafizadeh , S. Hossein Mousavizadegan *
Abstract (94 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (19 Downloads)   |   Graphical Abstract   |   Highlights

Highlights
  •     CRITIC‑CODAS‑FMEA resolves identical RPN clusters across fishing‑vessel failure modes.
  •     CRITIC derives objective subsystem‑specific weights, eliminating subjective weighting.
  •     CODAS dual‑distance ranking elevates high‑severity modes into top rankings versus conventional FMEA.
  •     Rankings align with expert consensus.
  •     Context‑aware prioritization transforms FMEA into a crew‑safety decision tool for commercial fishing fleets.

XML Prioritizing Cargo-Handling Quality Levers for B2B Customer Continuance Intention in Container Ports: An Importance-Performance and Relative-Importance Approach
P. 81-98
Mohammad Soltani Shirazi , Mohammad Asadian Ghahfarokhi * , Seyed Reza Samaei
Abstract (54 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (14 Downloads)   |   Graphical Abstract   |   Highlights

Highlights: 
  • Cargo-handling quality dimensions jointly explained 59.5% of B2B customer continuance intention.
  • Operational speed was the strongest dimension, with the highest relative-importance share (35.4%).
  • Equipment readiness ranked second in relative importance (29.2%) and overall action priority.
  • The final improvement ranking was speed → equipment readiness → operational safety → accuracy/error reduction.
  • The framework showed that the lowest-performing dimension is not necessarily the highest managerial priority.
