Fast and efficient waterborne transportation
that reduces travel time for commuters and shipping
costs is fundamental to the economic well-being of water-based communities
worldwide. At the same time, waterways come under increasing pressures
as waterborne transportation expands, vessel traffic increases, vessel
fleets become larger and faster, waterfront property value increase and
environmental concerns escalate.
Significant advances are being made in techniques for ship traffic monitoring, modeling of vessel hydrodynamic effects and their impacts to shorelines, river banks, and waterway infrastructure. Similarly work has progressed on improvement and optimization of high speed ship designs for wake generation, efficient performance and addressing a range of environmental concerns.
