Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Climate change is modifying in varying measure the coastal geography of States. The phenomenon is not temporary but is expected to carry on during the 21st century and beyond. A distinctive feature of modern international law is the concept of maritime zones. Each maritime area is subject to an intricate scheme of States’ rights and obligations. Coastal geography is a fundamental component of a long-standing method developed and agreed upon between States to establish the outward limits of these areas. A feature of this method is the baseline. In international law it is the only reference line from where the outward limits of maritime zones are measured. There are clear rules on how this is established along a coast. There is a concern amongst a number of States that rising sea water levels as a result of climate change may compel them to shift their baselines inward thus affecting the outward limits of their maritime zones. It is clear that the stability of maritime boundaries is put into question and this may bring about serious political legal and economic repercussions. This concern may also affect the outcome of dispute settlement procedures before a competent international court or tribunal the purpose of which is to resolve overlapping maritime claims. Key questions emerge. What is the role played by coastal geography in the legal regime determining the outward limits of maritime zones? What are the consequences of changes to coastal geography? To what extent are dispute settlement procedures before a Court or Tribunal immune from this concern? Is international law able to address this? If so in what way and what are its limits? What can be done to resolve this? | Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Maritime Ports Supply Chains and Logistics Corridors

Maritime Ports Supply Chains and Logistics Corridors

This book aims to highlight the interrelations between maritime ports supply chains and logistics. Inland corridors could be defined as major arteries for inland transportation from and to the maritime port. They link together one or several ports located on the maritime range with one or several major inland metropolitan areas. The efficiency of international supply chains depends not only on the smooth operations in the port but also on the efficiency of inland distribution in terms of cost reliability added value services for the goods safety and finally the environment. With contributions from international experts the book offers a transversal perspective on logistics corridor development using case studies on the Seine Axis among others. Organized into four key sections the book highlights the interrelations between ports and corridors using both empirical and theoretical research from various disciplines including engineering as well as human and social sciences. Maritime Ports Supply Chains and Logistics Corridors will be directly relevant to a wide variety of scholars and postgraduate researchers in the fields of transport studies and management maritime logistics supply chain management and international logistics as well as industrial engineering geography economics and political science.

Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

Over recent decades it has been widely recognised that terrorist attacks at sea could result in major casualties and cause significant disruptions to the free flow of international shipping. After discussing the overlaps and distinctions between piracy and maritime terrorism this book considers how the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code and other vessel identification and tracking measures in the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea would be likely to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks at sea. It explains how the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is less than clear on the powers of states to protect offshore installations submarine cables and pipelines from interference by terrorists. In light of these uncertainties it considers how the 2005 Protocol to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Maritime Navigation the doctrine of necessity and states’ inherent self-defence rights might apply in the maritime security context. A significant contribution of the book is the formulation of the Maritime Terrorism Threat Matrix which provides a structured framework for examining how maritime terrorism incidents have occurred and might occur in the future. The book also examines the relevant national maritime security legislation for preventing maritime terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom and in Australia. The book concludes by formulating guidelines for the unilateral interdiction of suspected terrorist vessels in exceptional circumstances and recommending priorities for governments and international maritime industries to focus on in order to reduce the risk for terrorist attacks at sea. It will be of interest to those working in the areas of Law and Terrorism Law of the Sea Maritime Law and Insurance and International Law. | Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

Containerization in Maritime Transport Contemporary Trends and Challenges

Containerization in Maritime Transport Contemporary Trends and Challenges

Containerization provides optimization of handling processes in terms of intermodality and efficient cargo handling and maritime transport in particular it provides further optimization of shipping processes in terms of volume and distance. Containerization has become the most significant factor stimulating the development of modern global trade. With the progress of globalization taken into account (longer distances and increasing cargo volumes) it can be seen that cargo becomes predestined to be transported by sea which encourages ship owners to enlarge their fleets of container ships. Containerization in Maritime Transport: Contemporary Trends and Challenges addresses the key challenges to maritime transport and containerization beginning with economic and managerial factors through organizational technical operational information and IT challenges and ending with ecological challenges—ideally to lessen the environmental impacts of maritime transport. Features: Discusses the latest technological advances in shipping including augmented reality (AR) virtual reality (VR) artificial intelligence (AI) 5G networks smart camera and computer vision systems and digital twin technology. Presents ecological considerations and solutions that are indispensable to develop efficient and safe green supply chains. Examines the economic aspects of shipping with regard to transport and container handling costs in international trade. | Containerization in Maritime Transport Contemporary Trends and Challenges

Assessing Maritime Disputes in East Asia Political and Legal Perspectives

Assessing Maritime Disputes in East Asia Political and Legal Perspectives

Combining practical and theoretical approaches this book addresses the political legal and economic implications of maritime disputes in East Asia. The maritime disputes in East Asia have multiplied over the past few years in parallel with the economic growth of the countries in the region the rise of nationalist movements fears and sometimes fantasies regarding the emergence of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a global power increasing military expenses as well as speculations regarding the potential resources in various disputed islands. These disputes however are not new and some have been the subject of contention and the cause of friction for decades if not centuries in a few cases. Offering a robust analysis this volume explores disputes through the different lenses of political science international law history and geography and introduces new approaches in particular to the four important disputes concerning Dokdo/Takeshima Senkaku/Diaoyu Paracels and Spratlys. Utilising a comparative approach this book identifies transnational trends that occur in the different cases and therefore at the regional level and aims to understand whether the resurgence of maritime disputes in East Asia may be studied on a case by case basis or should be analysed as a regional phenomenon with common characteristics. This book will be of interest to students of Asian Politics Maritime Security International Security Geopolitics and International Relations in general. | Assessing Maritime Disputes in East Asia Political and Legal Perspectives

Russia and Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk A Global History of Maritime Travel and Cultural Encounters 1600-1900

Russia and Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk A Global History of Maritime Travel and Cultural Encounters 1600-1900

Bailey describes how the Sea of Okhotsk area became integrated into a world system of economic and cultural ties between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. This happened primarily because of maritime explorations travel and trade which led to increased connections with both Russia and Japan. Individual chapters of the book provide analyses of historical sources which describe cross-cultural encounters and changes in the Sea of Okhotsk area. This includes analyses of explorers and travelers who traversed the region for commerce exploration diplomacy and possible colonization. Historical sources are explored from the different perspectives of Russians Japanese Indigenous peoples and international observers from Western countries. Cross-cultural encounters in the region among these groups led to collaboration syncretism and resistance sometimes violent and sometimes peaceful. The last chapter discusses how some international travelers and foreign residents of Hokkaidō described the area at the end of the nineteenth century. Their perspectives confirm that Hokkaidō had become a fully colonized space. An essential resource for students and scholars of cross-cultural studies Russian history Japanese history and Ainu and Indigenous history. | Russia and Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk A Global History of Maritime Travel and Cultural Encounters 1600-1900
