Turbulence in River and Maritime Hydraulics
2018
Understanding of the role of turbulence in controlling transport processes is of paramount importance for the preservation and protection of aquatic ecosystems, the minimisation of deleterious consequences of anthropogenic activity, and the successful sustainable development of river and maritime areas. In this context, the present Special Issue collects 15 papers which provide a representation of the present understanding of turbulent processes and their effects in river and maritime environments. The presented collection of papers is not exhaustive but it allows for highlighting key priority areas and knowledge gaps in this field of research.

On Apache Log4j2 Exploitation in Aeronautical, Maritime, and Aerospace Communication
2022
Apache Log4j2 is a prevalent logging library for Java-based applications. In December 2021, several critical and high-impact software vulnerabilities, including CVE-2021-44228, were publicly disclosed, enabling remote code execution (RCE) and denial of service (DoS) attacks. To date, these vulnerabilities are considered critical and the consequences of their disclosure far-reaching. The vulnerabilities potentially affect a wide range of internet of things (IoT) devices, embedded devices, critical infrastructure (CI), and cyber-physical systems (CPSs). In this paper, we study the effects and feasibility of exploiting these vulnerabilities in mission-critical aviation and maritime environment…
Cybersecurity risk assessment subjects in information flows
2022
A modern society includes several critical infrastructures in which digitalization can have positive impacts on the levels of autonomy and efficiency in the use of infrastructure systems. Maritime transportation is an example of an infrastructure that currently needs development in the digitalization of its operations and processes. At the same time, maritime processes represent a large-scale cyber environment, thus trustable information distribution between system elements of the processes is needed. Since 2020, the Sea4Value / Fairway (S4VF) research program in Finland has been working to develop maritime digitalization which can lead to autonomy processes in the future. The first stage o…
Assessment of Cybersecurity Risks: Maritime Automated Piloting Process
2022
A modern society is a combination of several critical infrastructures, of which international and national maritime transportation systems are essential parts. Digitalization makes it possible to increase levels of autonomy in maritime systems. It also means fully existing cyberenvironments in maritime processes. In cyberenvironments, it is crucial there is trustable information communication between system elements of the process, alongside the usability, reliability, and integrity of systems data in the operating environment. In order to develop maritime autonomy in Finland the Sea4Value / Fairway (S4VF) research program has been developed. At the first stage of the program, the main goal…
Introduction to Maritime Risk Management. Essays on the History of Marine Insurance
2021
this work provides an introduction to the multiform and complex issue of managing the risk in maritime commerce, looking at the development of insurance, sea loan and general averages across Europe.
Monenkeskinen yhteistyö ja minilateralismi käytännössä : tapauksena Somalian rannikon merirosvous
2022
Artikkelissa pohditaan monenkeskisyyden ilmenemistä minilateraalin yhteistyön kautta. Historiallisesti merirosvous on ollut ajoittain ja alueellisesti esiin nouseva ilmiö, joka ponnistaa paikallisista olosuhteista ja erityisesti heikosta hallinnosta maa-alueilla. Merirosvoukseen liittyvä kansainvälinen sopimusyhteistyö painottaa valtioiden suvereniteetin merkitystä omilla aluevesillään. Käytännössä merten turvallisuuden ymmärtäminen laaja-alaisena ilmiönä sekä merirosvouksen tehokas torjuminen on vaatinut ja vaatii myös jatkossa tiivistä valtioiden välistä yhteistyötä, jossa yksittäisen valtion toimintakykyä kompensoidaan yhteistyön keinoin. Artikkelissa kuvataan kansainvälisen yhteisön pyr…
Effects of NIS on Mediterranean marine ecosystems: the case study of Egadi Island MPA (Sicily, Tyrrhenian Sea)
2018
Habitat modification and loss, climate change and the introduction of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS, i.e. organisms introduced outside of their natural, past or present, range and outside of their natural dispersal potential) are considered to be the main threats to Mediterranean marine biodiversity and natural ecosystem functioning. NIS may become invasive (IAS = Invasive Alien Species) and may have significant environmental, socio-economic and human health impacts. The Mediterranean Sea is one of the major hotspots for NIS introductions, with the total for these species having almost reached the 1,000 figure (equivalent to ca. 6% of the total flora and fauna). NIS are entering the Mediterra…
Assessment of Cyber Security risks : A Smart Terminal Process
2023
In Finland, the connections to global maritime transportation logistics systems are an essential part of the national critical infrastructure. As a part of maritime logistics systems, the port's operations are important elements for global maritime traffic and the transportation supply chain. Digitalization of seaport services makes it possible to increase the efficiency of terminal systems in the logistic processes. At the same time, port logistic processes can notably reduce its CO2 emissions by optimizing port operations. The improvement of port processes relies very much on the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) or Operatio…
