Airborne maritime surveillance missions are time consuming, resource intensive activities, that must be carefully planned if poor utilization of highly expensive assets is to be avoided. This thesis develops a decision aid to provide aircraft tasking authorities with accurate estimates of target detection probabilities for different size search areas, using the surface traffic characteristics and predicted sensor performance for the area of operations. The decision aid uses simulation to evaluat...

This thesis examines strategic motivations and implications of the international expansion of China's maritime shipping industry (MSI). China's economic growth strategy depends upon maritime shipping to export foreign exchange earning commodities and import energy, industrial, and food resources. As a result, China's MSI is expanding faster than that of any other nation in the world. China's MSI expansion is creating regional shipping networks that increase levels of Sino-foreign trade (SFT) int...

This thesis examines factors shaping the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). It focuses on issues concerning Japan's financial resources to improve the JMSDF in the future and the level of complementarity between the JMSDF and the U.S. Navy. The examination reveals that there is a high level of complementarity overall between the JMSDF and the U.S. Pacific Fleet. This relationship is most likely going to continue into the future. The JMSDF most likely will not to have the financial resour...

The law of maritime liens has been a subject of great uncertainty for a long period of time and there has not been any unanimity in terms of certain aspect of this concept. Domestic law vary with regards to the recognition and enforcement of maritime liens. In an attempt to settle some of the uncertain aspects of maritime liens, three international conventions have been adopted to set out a universal list of maritime liens as well as to make uniform the mode of enforcing those maritime liens.

In response to the increasing maritime litigations that come along with the rapid growth of foreign trade in recent years, China opportunely adopted its Maritime Code and the Special Rules. This is certainly a significant progress in Chinese maritime legislation because for a long time neither a practical, substantive law for maritime disputes nor an appropriate procedural law for admiralty litigation was available in China. The Chinese courts had to deal with maritime disputes mainly by seeking...

Jiangnan is on the brink of revolution: a network of bullet train lines will re-territorilize this region of China, including Shanghai, drawing its 80 million inhabitants within a single hour’s commute of one another. From the train, the boundaries between Jiangnan’s ancient cities, villages, and countryside appear to dissolve into a momentary smear of colour. At the very moment the earth has shrunk by the bullet train, Jiangnan’s new mega-city status will erode a sense of community rooted in lo...

Dans le domaine de la surveillance maritime, les systèmes coopératifs d’identification et de positionnements tels que l’AIS (Automatic Identification System) sont souvent couplés à des systèmes d’observation de navires non coopératifs comme les Radars à Synthèse d’Ouverture (RSO). Dans ce contexte, la fusion des données AIS et Radar peut améliorer la détection de certains navires et d’identifier éventuels scénarii de surveillance. Le premier chapitre introduit les systèmes et détaille la structu...

Context: Maritime Surveillance (MS) has received increased attention from a civilian perspective in recent years. Anomaly detection (AD) is one of the many techniques available for improving the safety and security in the MS domain. Maritime authorities utilize various confidential data sources for monitoring the maritime activities; however, a paradigm shift on the Internet has created new sources of data for MS. These newly identified data sources, which provide publicly accessible data, are t...

The Merchant Marine Act of 1936 established the federal government's policy of developing and maintaining a commercial merchant marine capable of carrying a substantial portion of the nation's waterborne commerce and performing as a military auxiliary in time of war. Today the merchant marine continues to serve the nation in commerce and provides sustainment sealift assets and skilled seafaring crews to help meet DOD strategic mobility requirements. To maintain such a fleet, a highly regulated s...

The maritime space of ships is more often developed as a metaphor than critically investigated. Abstract fantasies of global flows and fluid motions ignore the material histories of ships, which often involve the capture of individuals and populations within networks of legal and extra-legal power. Standing as an exception to the bounded geographies of nation-states, ocean space lies beyond any single sovereign’s power; the passengers of ships are subject to multiple forms of biopower, wiel...

There are several current challenges to the competitiveness of the Norwegian maritime sector. The short sea shipping industry is facing tougher requirements on the environmental performance of vessel technologies, mainly from the quality and type of fuels utilized. Other challenges are high production costs and increasing global competition. For Norwegian ship owners, an additional challenge is the increase in road cargo transportation. A technology shift in the maritime sector may be necessary ...

When historians have addressed the issue of maritime lawlessness in the English colonies of North America their attention almost invariably has been drawn to New England where, according to the commonly held belief, opposition to the navigation system of the home government was most fervent, concerted, and pervasive. Rarely have researchers examined local involvement in piracy, illicit trade, and the unauthorized salvage of stranded or sunken vessels, or "wrecking," in the Chesapeake region wher...

In this dissertation, I consider what makes some states value ocean space more than others, and how these differences in value affect state actions. I posit that history, geography, legal systems, and national narratives all play a role in causing states to assign different values to maritime space. These values, moreover, guide how states respond to international disputes over maritime ownership. States that place a higher value on maritime space are more likely to respond to international ambi...

In Canada, as in most other industrial countries, concern is expressed over the existence of regional unemployment imbalances. If these imbalances were quickly alleviated, by action of labor and capital markets, there would be no regional problem. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Not only do regional unemployment differentials exist, but, more importantly, they tend to exist in spite of migration. This phenomenon suggests that, in the depressed region, there is some exogenous change, declini...
