Maritime and coastal areas are the lifeblood of many countries. They are vital to the prosperity of countries because they provide trade routes, regulate the climate, are a source of organic and inorganic resources and energy, and provide a place for the public to live and relax. Increasingly, however, there are divergences and barriers to the use of marine areas. On the one hand, available and developed technology and knowledge enable increasingly improved use of the sea. On the other hand, the combined effect of these activities leads to conflicts of interest and the deterioration of the marine environment. The purpose of this study is to analyze the feasibility of using automatic identification system (AIS) maritime traffic data, in terms of its suitability, to correctly assess the utilization of the potential of a specific fleet within the offshore shipping industry. In addition, the authors undertake the task of determining to what extent activities relating to the GPS position of the ship, ship type (i.e., cargo or passenger), ship status (i.e., aground, anchored, moored, not under command, restricted maneuverability, underway sailing, or underway using its engine), ship draught, service speed, total engine power, and deadweight constitute areas and methods for optimizing the use of the offshore fleet under all the conditions previously described that limit this optimization. Given the stated goal, this paper uses both a literature review procedure and statistical methods to conduct a comparative analysis.

Paper discussed problems relating to marine oil transportation in Arctic by specialized tankers designed for operations in high geographical latitudes at extremely low temperatures and ice conditions. Such sophisticated kind of vessels was built specifically for Arctic oil export terminals operating in extremely harsh climate. Special types of vessels were introduced to cover rescue operations in Arctic.

W artykule omówione zostały zagadnia związane z przewozem ropy naftowej przez tankowce specjalnie zaprojektowane do żeglugi w wysokich szerokościach geograficznych, przy estremalnie niskch temperaturach i zalodzeniu morza. Ten nowoczesny typ statków zostal zbudowany dla obslugi arktycznych termiali naftowyvh, dzialajacych w ekstremalnie trudnych warunkach. Powstaly też specjalne statki do przeprowadzania operacji ratowniczych w Arktyce.

Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate the circadian adaptation of tcr (core body temperature), BP (blood pressure), HR (heart rate) and subjective sleep quality after 7 days of working 12-h night shifts in offshore fleet workers. Methods. Night workers (N = 7) (18:00–6:00) and day workers (N = 7) (6:00–18:00) were recruited from a Norwegian offshore company operating in the North Sea. We measured tcr, BP and HR on days 1 and 7. Results. An increase of 0.6 oC (p = .03) was observed within the group of night workers from day 1 to day 7. Between the night and day workers there was a significant difference of 0.6 oC from day 1 to day 7 (p = .01). Sleep latency and sleep length also showed significant differences between the groups (p = .01 and p = .04). There was an interaction effect in tiredness during the shift (p = .02). Conclusion. The significant increase in tcr indicates an adaptation in the night workers to the new working schedule, and the extended working hours and sleep deprivation are hypothesized to be the main cause of the increased tcr. Light exposure, altered pattern of food availability and physical activity are likely to have contributed as well. Subjective sleep quality showed inconclusive results.
