In present study, a history analysis and review of last 30 years for U.S. naval ship concept design development trend is proposed. Based on the development of naval ship concept design model history, the three features of development process are further summarized. The first is that model-based system engineering (MBSE) becomes the basic of naval…
This paper examines to which extent some maritime business organizations intelligently use their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) resources. The research is done as a pilot study, since it includes relatively small number of maritime business entities from Montenegro, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. Our intention was to indirectly check whether these organizations are ready…

Present work describes the inverse problem for identification of material and support type properties of flexible dolphin structure. Most liquid bulk terminals are equipped with a jetty as berthing facility. The ship mostly berths to dedicated breasting dolphin structures, which can be single-pile flexible/rigid dolphins or multi-pile flexible/rigid dolphins. This work considers dolphin motion as…
This article proposes a Cloud-Break Procedure design for the near-sea, coastal and islands VFR aerodromes to improve their accessibility for combined VFR/IFR flights. Current drawbacks of performing combined flights from VFR aerodromes are highlighted firstly. The analysis that follows deals with possible options that would lead to improvement of current situation and suggests a Cloud-Break…
