Influence of Transition to the Renewable Energy Sources on Maritime Transport, Sustainable Development and Labour Market Policy; Proceeding from the fact that sustainable development is the key principle of Environmental Law, this research aims to determine whether transition to renewable energy sources has contributed to its intensification, but also to the decreasement of pollution and increasement of expenses in maritime sector as well.
research team follows the trends in new technologies for the exploitation of renewable energy sources and explores the ways of applying these technologies in area of maritime affairs. The new technologies include solar energy application, fuel cells, wind capturing, mechanical energy from the motion of tides and waves. The team investigates the production of energy from renewable resources, its distribution, storage and transformation, as well as its use for ship's propulsion and drive of other marine systems.
The group focuses on user-oriented (re)design of business processes and the development of modern information systems based on smart technologies. The concepts are tested in the domain of smart cities.
A professional skipper is engaged in 16-20 weeks of uninterrupted work during the season, which requires exceptional psychological and physical effort, especially if we take into account the extremely demanding sleeping conditions in the absence of any life routine.
For the jobs of sailors in the Merchant Navy, there is also no research on physical demands, psychological stress, and the quality of sleep while performing jobs.
