이 논문에서는 현재 선박의 운항 기능을 보다 향상시키는 방법의 하나로서 경제적이고 효율적인 "선박종합정보시스템"을 개발하였다. 이것은 선박의 운항 정보 및 주변 상황을 한 눈에 정확히 파악할 수 있도록 데이터를 종합적이고 체계적으로 선내 통신망을 기반으로 통합하고, 선내 뿐 만아니라 위성데이터통신을 이용하여 원격으로 육상에서 실시간으로 다중의 사용자가 동시에 이를 감시, 기록, 분석을 통하여 선박운항을 지원할 수 있는 시스템이다. 선박종합정보시스템은 선박신호연동장치를 통해 수신된 항해/기관/경보 데이터를 선박종합통신망에 적절하게 전송하는 데이터 분배 프로그램, 항해/기관 데이터를 저장하고 관리하는 데이터베이스, 항해/기관/경보 데이터를 표시하여 선박의 운항 상황 및 주변 상황을 감시하는 각종 정보프로그램, 선박이 건조되어 폐선될 때까지의 관리에 관한 선박관리프로그램, 기타 응용 프로그램으로 구성되어 있다.

항해 기관정보를 제공하는 각 장비들의 출력신호의 형태는 각기 달라 "선박종합정보시스템" 상에서 정보들을 읽고 기록하기 위해서는 각 장비들로부터의 선호와 데이터 프로토콜을 분석하여 표준 디지털 신호로 변환 처리한 후 이미 설계 개발한 "선박종합통신망"을 통하여 각 클라이언트로 전송해 주어야 한다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 선박의 각종 항해 기관장비와 선박종합정보시스템 사이에 필요한 시리얼 통신기술을 이용하고 이들 장비의 신호를 분석하여 선박신호 연동장치를 개발하고 이를 실선에 탑재하여 그 활용 여부를 실험하였다.

우리나라의 경우 선박조종시뮬레이션을 이용한 선박 통항의 안전성 평가는 흔히 목표선 분석으로 이뤄지고 있다. 이 논문에서는 목표선 분석만으로 이뤄지는 통항 안전성 평가의 위험성을 경고할 목적으로 하나의 예로서 한국해양수산연수원의 선박조종시뮬레이터를 이용하여 15,000 TEU급 컨테이너 선박이 풍속 26노트 풍향 NW의 바람과 낙조류 2.2노트의 조류에서 광양항 항로를 따라 출항하는 시뮬레이션을 실시하고 그 결과에 대하여 목표선 분석과 연속분석을 실시하였다. 이들을 비교 분석한 결과 광양항 항로 중 굴곡부의 한곳에서는 목표선 분석에 의한 침범확률이 연속 분석에 의한 침범 확률보다 다소 크게 나타나고 있는데 이는 목표선 분석만으로도 통항 안전성 평가하는 것은 위험이 따를 수 있음을 제시하는 사례로 판단된다. 그 외에 이 논문에서는 현행의 연구의 항로중심에서 선박의 중심이 벗어난 값을 이용하지 않고 선측의 끝에서 항로경계까지를 최근접거리로 하는 근접도 평가를 제시하였다.

이 논문은 선박관리 업무의 전산화 및 항해, 기관장비들로부터 발생되는 데이터를 통신망으로 전송하여 각 선실의 컴퓨터상에서 선박의 운항 상황 및 주변 상황을 감시하기 위한 선박종합통신망을 구축하는 것이다. 이런 통신망을 구축하기 위해 먼저 선박의 구조 및 특성 등을 고려하여 통신망의 형태, 전송방식 및 프로토콜 등을 조사 분석하였고 이런 조사 분석을 바탕으로 기본 원칙을 정하고 선박 특성에 적합한 "선박종합통신망"을 설계하고 구축하였다.

Recently, due to the several factors such as the advent of very large vessels and high-speed vessels, and the increase of the maritime traffic density at sea, the obligation, responsibility and burden of marine officers on duty for the safety of navigation has been highly escalated. Under these situations, if the appropriate and correct navigational information is given to officers at real time by means of certain integrated information processing system, these obligation, burden and danger can be reduced. This paper deals with the study on the development of the Navigational Information Monitoring and Recording System that can give and record the integrated navigational information based on the personal computer system installed on board. To construct this system, the interface unit which changes different signal types of navigational equipments to NMEA 0183 signal format and the application software to show the visual navigational information were developed. In this study, the navigation system of T/S HANBADA in Korea Maritime University was used in order to construct the actual system that can be utilized in other ships, and also the performance test was carried out several times to examine the performance of the system developed. It was proved that all functions of the system as designed worked smoothly through the performance test. Also this system could be operated easily and conveniently by every user.

This study aims at estimating the in-and-out traffic volume and improving the main channel in Kwangyang Harbour, by utilizing measurement of congestion, i.e, the bumper model. In 2011, the traffic volume of the main channel is 11.96 ships per hour and its traffic density is evaluated 9.53% of the basic traffic capacity. Therefore the existing width of the main channel, 850m is safe enough but the channel requires the traffic separation scheme as suggested in order to secure the safe of the transit vessel.

A vessel in distress might be well identified when both the variables affecting the drifting of the vessel and the extent to which the variables affect the drifted vessel are known. And also the disembarking place inside the ship might be easily located if the drifting poised is forecasted. The forecasting method of the drifting poise is resolved by combining the vectors of the current and the wind. It is, however, very hard to forecast the effect of the wind, which should be mainly determined by field survey. This study aims at identifying the drifting characteristics of medium/large ships, considering only the effect of the wind. The experiment revealed the following results. ① The drifting poise is determined by the aspect ratio of the ship and the shape of the superstructure of the ship. ② Drifting direction is quite stable when wind speed goes over a certain level. ˚led3 Drifting speed is 3-7% of the wind speed in case of T/S Hannara.

The assesment of the safety of ship's transit in a curved narrow channel consists of the maneuvering safety determined by the chance of running aground, the maneuvering difficulty determined by ship's workload, and shiphandler's subjective evaluation. In this study, to examine the correlation between shiphandler's subjective evaluation and the maneuvering safety, the real-time and full-mission shiphandling simulator in the Korea Marine Training & Research Institute(KMTRI) was utilized. On the conning bridge of the shiphandling simulator, 50 experienced masters have conducted the modeled vessel of 60, 000 deadweight tonnage along the designed channel under 3 different environmental conditions. It was possible to assess and analyze theoretically the correlation between the shiphandler's subjective evaluation and maneuvering difficulty under each environmental condition by quantifying the data obtained from the tests. The results are as follows: ① As the degree of maneuvering difficulty increases, the shiphandler's subjective evaluation increases in the designed channel under the designed environmental condition. ② In the straight area, not the bend of the designed channel, maneuvering difficulty increases sharply under the environmental condition of current and wind coming from the stern.

Assessment of the safety of ship's transit in the narrow channel consist of the maneuvering safety determined by the chance of running aground, the maneuvering difficulty determined by ship's workload and master's subjective evaluation. To examine the relation between master's subjective evaluation and maneuvering safety, this utilizes a real-time and full-mission shiphandling simulator in the Korea Marine Training & Research Institutes(KMTRI). The vessel chosen was 60,000-ton, Panamax-type ship. The findings regarding master's subjective evaluation were as follows: -Relation between master's subjective evaluation and common logarithms of stranding probability is linear. -Stranding probability with more than 0.001 is master's subjective evaluation with more than 5.

This paper was a part of the risk management in planning a channel. It utilized Korea Marine Training & Research Institutes(KMTRI) which Houses a real-time, full-mission shiphandling simulator to examine the safety of the ship's transit in the planned channel of Asan port. 6 competent Captains participated in this study. The vessel modelled was a 60,000-ton ship. The two variables(factors) examined were environ-mental conditions such as flood-and-ebb current condition and day-and-night condition. The two variables were combined to produce four experimental conditions. To evaluate the safety of the environmental conditions, two categories of performance measures were analyzed. They were vessel's proximity to channel boundary and vessel controalbility. The findings regar-ding the effects of environmental conditions were as follows : - Closest Point of Approach(CPA) to channel boundary was enough for 60,000-ton ship to transit th-rough the channel with 99.999% confidence level. - Closest Point of Approach(CPA) to channel boundary further was under against-current condition than under with-current condition. -Vessel controlability was better under against-current condition than under with-current condition. -Vessel controlability was better under inbound transit than under outbound transit.

The Navigational System is the Fundamental System of Port Transportation System and comprises 3 Subsystems, say, the Waterway System, the Shiphandling System and the Support System. The Waterway System of Navigational System is the important and fundamental System for Traffic Safety inside the Port like a Car Road System on Land. This study aims to make a Guideline for the Optimal Waterway System of Port Development and Safety. The Conclusion of this Paper are drawn : 1) The complicated Shiphandling Operations should be avoided for the period of Physical night Time for eliminating the Human Errors. 2) For the Maneuverability and all-weather Combined Piloting the Inside Turn Point Buoy and Begin the-turn Buoy should be mounted with Racon(T) and Radar Reflector for foggy and bad weathers. 3) The Seabuoy located in the Approaching Area for Pilot Station and making Landfall should be mounted with Racon(G) and Morese A Light for giving a Hint of Pilot Station to the Captain on the Bridge, and these Equipments of Racon and Light should be operated normally and effectively even in a Heavy and stormy weathers. 4) A Basic Practical Expression, 1/2 L sin D, for calculating the Extra Width of Cutoff Turn Regions was derived Originally from the Viewpoint of Turn Maneuvers and Maneuverability of the Ship.

The ship's magnetic compass even if corrected is feasible to indicate the erroneous information due to the change of this ship's magnetism. But if the north-seeking sensor of the transmitting magnetic compass system is located where the effect of the ship's magnetism is the least , that problem is expected to be removed. In this paper, as a basic research to enhance the accuracy and the stability of the ship's magnetic compass by placing the north-seeking sensor at the adequate location, the theoretical model for the overall ship's magnetism were studied from the macroscopic viewpoint, The parameters of the theoretical model were determined by the least square method on the assumption that the overall magnetism of a ship can be regarded as that of the prolate spheroidal magnetic body. The agreement between the modelled and the observed values was found to be good.

A theoretical model for the over-all ship's magnetism was developed, on the assumption that the magnetism of a three-island type vessel can be regarded as that of the prolate spheroidal magnetic body. Modelled values were determined by the simulation on the base of the theoretical analysis of the magnetic field around the above-mentioned magnetic body. The real values were made of the data observed from four different three-islands type vessels alongside the piers. The agreement between the modelled and real values was found to be accurate.

In order to provide a basic information to locate the sensor of remote-indicating magnetic compass onboard, an empirical model for the over-all ship's magnetism was developed based on the periodicity of the observed magnetic field around the vessels. The values of model parameters were determined by least-square method and optimum numbers of them were fixed using Akaike's information criterion theory, and also an approximation method to determine parameter was proposed based on the symmetrical characteristic of observed data versus ship's length. The confidence level of the newly developed models was tested by analysis of variance method. The agreement between the modelled and real values was found to be remarkably accurate.

The sensing part of the remote-indicating magnetic compass has to be placed where the ship's magnetic effects are minimum, in order that the compass may remain usable under the varying magnetic conditions likely to be experienced on board the ship. In this paper the model of the overall ship's magnetism is built using Vacquier's method frequently used in determining the geomagnetic anomaly, on the assumption that the steel ship generate the magnetic disturbance in the geomagnetic field. It was found that the values of the magnetism observed on board approximate to those of the magnetism calculated from the captioned model, under the condition that the ship's material isominated by the permanent magnetism. And on the basis of the above model, it was feasible to locate the place of the minimum magnetic field by computer calculation.
