Maritime Mobilities

The central concerns of mobilities research – exploring the broader context and human aspects of movement - are fundamental to an understanding of the maritime freight transport sector. Challenges to the environment attempts at more sustainable practices changes in the geoeconomic system political power labour economic development and governance issues are all among the topics covered in this book. The aim of this volume is to address issues of maritime transport not only in the simple context of movement but within the mobilities paradigm. The goal is to examine negative system effects caused by blockages and inefficiencies examine delays and wastage of resources identify negative externalities explore power relations and identify the winners and losers in the globalised trade system with a particular focus on the maritime network. Maritime Mobilities therefore aims to build a bridge between traditional maritime academic approaches and the mobilities paradigm. This volume is of great importance to those who study industrial economics shipping industries and transport geography.

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

China's Maritime Security Strategy The Evolution of a Growing Sea Power

This book examines the evolution of China’s maritime security strategy and questions what has made China shift from a constrained to a more assertive strategy. Historically China has not been an active player in maritime security but in recent years Beijing has begun to pursue policies and measures to safeguard its maritime rights and interests in the Indo-Pacific region. This growing influence in the region has become a concern for other countries about what kind of sea power China is developing. This book seeks to address this concern by providing an overview of the development of China’s maritime security strategy from the era of Deng Xiaoping to Xi Jinping. It suggests that while the involvement of maritime actors and the development of naval capability have provided the depth to the strategy the national strategic guidelines from each generation of Chinese leadership have determined the overall direction of the maritime security strategy. After 40 years of development China has established a set of priorities for its maritime agenda: territorial integrity is at the top followed by development and then regional and international maritime cooperation. These findings help us to understand China’s multidimensional maritime power as being both assertive and cooperative. This book will be of much interest to students of naval strategy maritime security Chinese politics and International Relations. | China's Maritime Security Strategy The Evolution of a Growing Sea Power

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.

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
