Ship operators use anchor dredging for the collision avoidance or safety of ship handling in a harbour or narrow channel. This paper clarifies the technique of the anchor dredging known as a common sense for. the seafarers A mathematical model at low speed range is established for the estimation of ship motion under the assumed environment, simulate the advance speed , and turning ability under the anchor dredging or not. The results shows good agreement with the conventional seamanship and their experiences as follows. Ahead speed used the anchor dredging is slower(speed reduction ratio:40%) than the normal ahead speed and the stopping distance is shorter (distance reduction ratio:40%)than the normal ahead distance without the anchor dredging.. Turning speed used anchor dredging is slower(speed reduction ratio:72%)than the normal ahead speed and the tactical diameter is shorter(distance reduction ratio:24%)than the diameter by the normal turning without the anchor dredging.

본 연구에서는 최적화기법과 전산유체역학의 기술을 이용하여 저항의 관점에서 최적의 형상을 가지는 선형을 개발하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 최적화기법으로는 SQP(sequential quadratic programming)을 사용하였으며, 목적함수인 저항을 구하기 위하여 먼저 조파저항은 비선형 자유수면 경계조건을 고려한 선체주위 포텐셜유동을 계산할 수 있는 수치해석기법인 상 방향 패널이동법을 사용하였고, 선체에 미치는 전 저항을 구하기 위하여 ITTC 1957년 모형선-실선상관곡선을 이용하였다. 선형최적화 과정 중의 선체의 변경이나 계산 격자의 생성은 NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline)기법을 사용하여 구현하였다. 이와 같은 방법을 사용하여 개발된 선형최적화 기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 선형이 비교적 잘 알려진 건형인 Wigley선형과 Series 60(CB=0.6)선형에 대하여 설계속도 Fn=0.316에서 선형최적화를 위한 수치해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 초기선형과 서로 비교하였다.

When an automatic course-keeping is concerned , as is quite popular in modern navigation, the closed-loop steering system consists of autopilot device, power unit(or telemotor unit), steering gear, magnetic or gyro compass and ship dynamics. In order to estimate steering system of ship in open seas, we need to know the characteristics of each component of the system and also to know the characteristics of disturbance to ship dynamics. Calculation methods of irrgular disturbances are based on the linear superposition principle. In this paper, for the purpose of evaluation of automatic steering of ships , the influences of linear control constants of autopilot on propulsive energy loss are investigated bya performance index is introduced from the viewpoint of energy saving. Numberical calculations are carried out for an are carrier and for a fishing boat in multi-directional waves.

The disasters of wet bound vessels have been more frequent than those of east bound ones on the sea routes of the North Pacific Ocean in winter season. M/V Hanjin-Inchon was also west bound in her missing voyage. The container vessel of 17, 676 gross tons, M/V Hanjin-Inchon owned by Hanjin Shipping Co.Ltd in Seoul Korea left seattle in west coast of U.S.A for Pusan , Korea on the 5th Feb., 1987 and sailed along the exact courses recommended by Ocean Routes until she reported her position and speed as 49-30N, 158-00E and 8 knots to her head office in Seoul by this ship's time 2200 hours on the 13th Feb., 1987. The above message turned out to be last message from her because she had been missing since then leaving no message but only two life boats of her name, three containers cases, large scale of oil slicks and the corpse of her 3rd mate drifting on the sea near the position reported by her last message.
