As shipping and maritime studies cover a wide range of scientific, technical engineering topics with supporting input on economic, legal and insurance matters, and as shipping business fierce competition and proliferation into oil exploration support services, huge capital is committed. as a result, interest in scientific decision making, monitoring trends in technological development in ship design and operation, and cargo handling equipment to improve ship turn-round time in ports have grown. my research is concerned with the development of methods and general principles that can be used to improve port performance, container provisioning and control, route planning, ship scheduling, marine pollution problems abatement and solution. Marine insurance being the most obvious means of protecting ships, freight and maritime interests against marine perils and as huge capital values are locked up in ships, the loss of which could prove financially crippling to the strongest shipping companies, therefore, research is in the development of marine insurance to provide protection against the various liabilities of ship-owners to cargo owners and others, oil companies involvement in oil spills and oil pipeline operators.
