title: 'MarineChain: Blockchain-Enabled Maritime Transportation System Simulator'
version: 1.1.0
abstract: Simulates Blockchain-Enabled Maritime Transportation Systems (BMTS) by integrating
  asynchronous, great-circle vessel kinematics with decentralised edge-computing consensus
  layers. The package provides a fully self-contained cyber-range running completely
  offline, permitting the risk-free injection of spatial and telemetry threat vectors
  (e.g., geofence breaches, coordinate modification, and node impersonation). It includes
  an interactive workspace engine built using 'shinydashboard' and 'leaflet' map layers
  for monitoring vessel states and ledger updates. Implemented consensus structures
  are modeled on a lightweight Proof-of-Authentication framework optimized for resource-constrained
  distributed nodes.
