Abstract
Maritime transportation has a huge impact on the world economy and our everyday lives. Nowadays, the vast majority of world goods are carried by sea by huge container carriers. The disasters and damages caused in the event of major sea collisions can pose serious threats to the environment. This stresses the urgent need for the development of maritime navigation systems whose objective should be to contribute to a safer sea. Among many technical and methodological issues, there is still a need for distributed computing architectures that will favour real-time monitoring of mobile objects at sea, and generation of computer and visual-based environments. The research presented in this chapter introduces a three-dimensional (3D) GIS applied to maritime navigation. The three-dimensional component facilitates the understanding of maritime behaviours and patterns at sea, thus favouring better decisions for either sailors at sea or maritime authorities in charge of traffic monitoring.
