A Study For The Usage Of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Uavs) In Salvage Operations

Abstract

Maritime transportation has undergone many advancements including the upsurge of ship values, increase of cargo volumes on board and the current mega-sized ships introduced to cater for the increased global shipping trade and align with the rising market competition. To prevent damages to the vessels in distress and to the overall environment, there is a vital need for immediate and effective salvage responses, to minimize the impact of maritime casualties and provide specialist solutions. This research aims to reduce salvage time and provide accurate, reliable and safe to obtain bathymetric information. Researcher relied on obtaining the information from scientific material in books, international publications, articles and previous studies, available on the websites and approved for reference use. Data used as the footstone of analysis in this research is mainly from public statistics in studies and authorities for the year 2020.
