AN ANALYSIS OF SOME FACTORS OF THE TRAINING OF CHINESE SAILORS

Ministry of Communications of P. R. China has successfully organized some dozens of classes to train ship officers, and given corresponding tests, which played a very important part in improving the whole educational level of sailors in our country. However, with the development of situation and the application field of science and technology being continuously enlarged, some parts of present training have become too obsolete to satisfy practical need. At the same time, a lot of adverse information fed back from the organizations such as International Maritime Organization(IMO), harbor supervision office, classification society and shipping company. It is necessary to adjust and reinforce the training of sailors in our nation. The following is     

新概念认知声纳初步研究(英文)

The performance of a sonar system is closely related to the marine environment and the target characteristics. When dealing with the echoes of a traditional active sonar system, the sonar designers often do not take into account the influence of the environmental information and prior knowledge perceived by sonar receivers, making it difficult to obtain desired processing results. Based on the basic principle and key technology of sonar, this paper proposed a cognition-based intelligent sonar system in theory--cognitive sonar. Cognitive sonar is capable of jointly optimizing the transmission waveform and receiver according to the changes of environment so that its detection and identification performance can be significantly improved.     

How Can Ship Design Realize Green Transformation?

定线制为长江江苏段夜行护航

In the past, ships sailing on the Jiangsu segment of the Yangtze River always followed the traditional shipping rules of "going upriver in the low current and going downriver in the mainstream". With the increase of market economy and development of shipping industry, more and more ships get into transportation, developing toward large size and deep draught. However, the past regulations cannot meet the need of the shipping development at present. With implementing the routing system, Jiangsu segment of Yangtze River has become an indeed golden navigation route. 全面夜航打造全天候航道 3月19日,江苏海事局在南京宣布,长江江苏段全面实行海轮夜航.意味着,长江江苏段全天候通航的时代到了!海轮全面夜航后,将会提高船舶运营效率,降低沿江两岸的物流成本,增强口岸竞争力,提升沿江开发的区位优势,改善地方招商引资的投资环境,对区域经济和航运发展起到极大的促进作用.     

Underwater sonar image recognition based on gray-spatial histograms

A new gray-spatial histogram is proposed, which incorporates spatial information with gray compositions without sacrificing the robustness of traditional gray histograms. The purpose is to consider the representation role of gray compositions and spatial information simultaneously. Each entry in the gray-spatial histogram is the gray frequency and corresponding position information of images. In the experiments of sonar image recognition, the results show that the gray-spatial histogram is effective in practical use.

Maritime Safety Through Systems Safety Engineering

1.INTRODUCTION In current semmars and conferences about marine transportation safety and shipping safety, the Internationsl safety Code(ISM)is one of the hot topics. In this paper the authors introduce the concepts Of systems safety engineering(SSE). The historical backgrounds of both ISM and SBE are described. The authors compare the concepts of both ISM and SSE. The advantages of SSE are discussed. The authors also introduce the SSE programme plan and SSE activities. 2.DEFINITIONS OF SAFETY If we look for the definition Of safety in an English dictionary, it tells you that safety is a noun meaning a state of being free from harm or danger. To expand the dictionary definition technically, we might define safety as "A measure that determines to what extend the management, technology and operation of a system is free from danger to life, property and the environment".
