Today, almost 80% of cargo is transported by sea. Most of the global maritime shipping operations are performed in the direction East – West, through the southern routes, e.g. Singapore – Suez Canal – Gibraltar – Europe. The total fuel cost is the major concern and the main drawback of these routes. According to the latest statistics and analyses, the price of fuel is growing and such a trend will cause a great impact on the economies of developing countries. For these reasons, new alternative maritime routes, in which the optimisation of transportation in the maritime transport network can be achieved, are to be found. There is a possibility of establishing such routes in the areas of high latitudes where climatological changes and diminishing ice open up entirely new possibilities for shipping and present completely new challenges in the global shipping industry. Through the comparative analysis of the main routes and the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) method, this paper discusses the advantages, potential and importance, as well as the level of reliability, threats and disadvantages of using the areas of high latitude in maritime transport.

Edge element calculation of radar cross section of small maritime targets with respect to height of radar antenna

From the aspect of navigational safety and collision avoidance it is very important to be able to detect small maritime targets such as buoys and small boats. Ship's radar is supposed to detect these types of targets, however the ability of radar to detect such targets depends on several factors. The most important factors affecting the detection probability of small maritime targets are height of the antenna installation on the ship and radar cross section of the target. The methods of computation radar cross section are diverse and complicated, however, in this paper we apply our previously published numerical method for the RCS computation which had proven to be very accurate. Physically to find RCS of the target one has to find the solution of electromagnetic scattering problem. The numerical method relies on the combination of finite edge volume elements and finite edge boundary elements to obtain the solution of Maxwell equations. The radiation pattern of ships radar antenna is the source of excitation for the numerical method. At the end of the paper the RCS of small maritime targets as the function of antenna height is shown. These results can be used as a parameter in radar design, as well as the guideline for the height of installation of the ship's radar antenna above the sea.
