The paper focuses on assessing the level of digitalization in several developing maritime business environments in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia. The assessment has been done in reference to Holtham’s and Courtney’s Intelligent Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Exploiter Model. The dimensions as maritime business system effectiveness, roles, and skills of information technology personnel, ladders of knowledge, ICT strategy, organizational culture, and manager’s mindset are analyzed. In addition, benchmarking with findings from developed maritime business environments in Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Slovenia, which belong to the European Union (EU), by using the same model, has been conducted. This is done with the aim to outline directions for improving the quality and speed of digitalization in non-EU countries, which have been functioning for decades in transitional conditions. The maritime ecosystem naturally has a tendency to be unique and to function smoothly as such. Alleviating the differences in the level and effectiveness of digitalization in developed and developing European countries is a path towards achieving this goal. By sharing their own expertise in the rational and intelligent use of ICT, developed EU countries can support developing non-EU countries towards ensuring sustainability in the entire European and worldwide maritime business ecosystem.

This article deals with cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary virtual engagement aimed to match human-computer interaction design principles and contemporary integrated navigation information systems. As interaction design principles are used ten general principles – heuristics, and as examples of contemporary navigation information systems are used chart RAdio Detection (or Direction) and Ranging (RADAR) device and Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). This cross-disciplinary research has been achieved through a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project by Durban University of Technology (DUT) in South Africa and University of Colima (UoC) in Mexico. Namely, the students from both sides guided by their lecturers have been engaged in analyzing today’s most frequently used marine navigational aids from the perspective of their reliability and users’ centeredness. Complexity of the systems and the lack of standards are observed as main problems when it comes to marine information systems effectiveness and their users’ centeredness.

The paper presents key features of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) deployed within the H2020 project Coordination Of Maritime assets for Persistent And Systematic Surveillance (COMPASS2020). The project has been conceived to enhance maritime safety, search and rescue at sea, as well as controlling and monitoring irregular migration and securing the European maritime borders from narcotics smuggling by means of the seamless integration and coordination of several manned and unmanned vehicles, specifically suited for these purposes. In this paper only the aerial segment has been considered, i.e., the Zephyr pseudo-satellite, as well as the AR3 Net Ray and the AR5 Life Ray Evolution crafts. Comparative advantages and disadvantages of these systems are presented, along with their info-communication roles within the project. Also, some directions for further research in the field are specified.

The paper gives an overview of some recent attempts at Maritime Studies Department (Faculty of Applied Sciences, Durban University of Technology - DUT) to introduce Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) into teaching and learning. Namely, this experimental form of knowledge generation and sharing has been recently practiced with two overseas universities, one from Mexico (Universidad de Colima - UdeC) and the other from Brazil (FATEC-Jahu- FJU). In the first case two different subjects were matched (Navigation information systems and Software Testing Methods), while in the second one, similar subjects were coupled (Electronic Navigation Systems and Navigation). The setting-up processes realized among professors, “ice breakings” made by professors and students during the first online meetings, students' team research works on creating joint projects, i.e., Google Drive PowerPoint presentations and recordings will be described in the paper, while concomitant benefits and concerns will be discussed. An original model of non-monetary return of investment when it comes to introducing and adopting this kind of teaching and learning has been proposed, as well, and tested on the basis of the variables set by the author and estimated by the professors and students at DUT.

This paper analyses changes of berth infrastructure and suprastructure by global container terminals (CTs) and by four eastern Adriatic ports in the last decade. The emphasis is on understanding whether CTs at Koper, Trieste, Rijeka and Bar achieved higher berth utilisation and productivity per ship-to-shore (STS) crane and if so, how and whether their development is in line with the global trend in CT berth productivity. On this basis a comparison model of twenty selected global CTs is used for productivity comparison as a first step in the process of analysing subsystem productivity. The study shows that four eastern Adriatic ports made different decisions, but with the same goals in reaction to the increased flow of containers via the Adriatic Sea transport route. Their main goal was to increase berth productivity by controlling the eventual subsystem overcapacity. According to observations, the Port of Koper is running at the subsystem’s upper level, while CTs in Trieste, Rijeka and Bar operate with certain degree of berth infrastructural, and suprastructural overcapacity.

An actual trend in maritime communications is a need for exchange of increasingly large amounts of information among all maritime entities. For instance, vessels need to exchange data with vessel traffic service (VTS) centers; shipping companies are under huge competition pressure to adopt different weather, routing, monitoring, security and other applications; seafarers expect uninterrupted and sound connectivity with family and friends ashore, and the like. Therefore, for the purpose of broadcast communication between shore and ships – navigational data (NAVDAT) as an extension of navigational telex (NAVTEX) has been developing. Additionally, as an effort to provide route exchange services between ships and VTS centers with the ultimate goal of route optimization through cooperative decision making between the bridge team and shore operators – VHF data exchange system (VDES) as a particular upgrade of automatic identification system (AIS) has been implementing. Both NAVDAT and VDES as novel maritime communication systems have to support dynamic, flexible, scalable, service oriented, very complex and intuitive at the same time, systems-of-systems like maritime communication platform and e-Navigation for the future of navigation.

The paper concerns the employment of a vehicular communication concept for traffic management and safety purposes in a developing seaport environment. A general scenario considering centralized and ad-hoc networks has been analysed, since the requirements for the safety of seaports are similar in terms of reliability and latency. The main enhancement of the proposed model is a communication-based cooperative scheme for improving the safety of workers and optimizing the management of on-port vehicles. The simulation analyses have been realized over the container terminal of the developing Port of Bar (South-East Adriatic Sea, Montenegro). Considering the fact that it operates in transitional conditions, related innovation success impediments have been taken into consideration, as well.

Ships are designed for the operating cycle between twenty and twenty-five years. Throughout this period, it is necessary that the ships have smooth functioning, which primarily means safe navigation. Nowadays, both advanced-computer software tools and measurement equipment are used for the purpose of ship hull maintenance in ship design processes and in the different phases of their condition monitoring during the exploitation. Since corrosion is one of the key factors of degradation of the ship hull, the paper will provide the overview of information technologies and techniques that are used in the processes of measuring the degree of corrosion damage on the ship hull, condition monitoring and predictive analytics.

The paper proposes vehicular communication principles in order to increase workers and pedestrians crossroads safety at the seaport. A hybrid environment-based approach for modeling the vehicular communication channel is used. It is based on a combination of a deterministic ray-launching algorithm (PIROPA) to model large-scale parameters, and a stochastic model to obtain small-scale ones. Simulation analysis of some power-delay profiles for different workers or pedestrians and front forklifts seaport cross-roads interplays are done over the selected container and general cargo terminal area of the Port of Bar (Montenegro). The results provide good understanding of the communication requirements in order to obtain a feasible on-post safety system.

The paper proposes two Wireless Body Area Network Sensors (WBANSs) scenarios at the logical and simulation levels for improving occupational safety and health conditions at the developing seaport environment. The Port of Bar (Montenegro) is taken as an exemplar. The logical model is based on the actual position of the Port of Bar at the seaport market, its needs and capacities for the information systems innovation through technology transfer and diffusion. The simulation model analyses the channel between the body central unit (BCU) of the worker’s on port wireless body sub-network and the port access point. The quality of the signal transmission at the physical layer has been tested through a source code generated in the Matlab. The code includes the BCU composite signal modulation, transmission, and demodulation, along with a noise and fading effects analysis. The results of the simulation experiments for the different transmission frequencies and distances between transmitter (worker’s BCU) and receiver (port’s access point) by using binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) and quadratic phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation schemes are presented. Some directions for further investigations in this field are given, as well.

This paper considers some of the barriers in implementing the RFID (radio frequency identification) technology for identifying, locating, tracking and tracing goods in supply chains, along with a model for adopting cloud services that can mitigate these obstacles in the transitional environment. The analysis is based on the assessments of the implementation impediments, given by the experts in the field of logistics: university professors, assistants and entrepreneurs from three Western Balkan countries (Montenegro, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina). Since the professionals’ assessments are influenced by their experiences from the transitional economies, which are faced with limited abilities to invest in expensive business information systems, the main hypothesis is that moving the logistics into the cloud may resolve or at least alleviate the considered problems. On the basis of the available secondary literature resources on pros and cons of RFID implementation into supply chains, and the statistical analysis of the consciously completed questionnaires in the survey, the model for adopting cloud services for providing RFID-enabled goods and related activities in the considered economies is proposed at a logical level. The paper also gives some directions for further research work in this domain.

The paper presents the results of some OPNET simulation experiments realized with an aim to benchmark MANET and ZigBee networks’ performances at the seaport environment. The MANET is formed among workers’ and supervisors’ personal digital assistants (PDAs). On the other side, the ZigBee is established between end-nodes or employees’ body central units (BCUs), which collect signals from several active and passive devices embedded into ID badges and personal protective equipment (PPE) pieces; several moving and fixed routers; and the coordinator mounted at the appropriate seaport location. The simulation experiments are realized over the layout of the Port of Bar (Montenegro) container and general cargo terminal by taking into account the real number of workers and supervisors engaged at the terminal per each shift. This research work should give an insight to the seaport’s managers and stakeholders into some advantages and disadvantages of these two considered wireless networks’ schemes, and to motivate them to provide conditions for implementing these or similar on seaport and backend info-communication solutions for uprising the level of occupational safety and overall seaport’s environmental management system.
