A Survey of Advanced Marine Communication and Navigation Technologies: Developments and Strategies

Abstract

Marine communication and navigation technologies go hand-in-hand in order to provide a safe and secure marine travel on those who are on board a vessel or a ship. These tools are used together to establish rapport between sea ports and nearby vessels, as well as determining a sea or ocean’s characteristics and weather patterns. Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) for maritime salvage is designed to mitigate the menaces associated with marine navigation. The technique involves intelligent navigation and communication, intelligent collision avoidance and intelligent rheostat systems. This paper seeks to explore the technological advancements in marine communication and navigation used in the maritime environment, with veneration to both hardware and software. This review would invariable serve as a source of information pool for further studies. We also present some current technological challenges the marine industry is antagonized with.
