본 연구의 주목적은 기존선형을 바탕으로 연료 절감이 가능한 표준화된 개조선형을 개발하는 것이다. 설계 흘수와 설계 선속을 고려하여 대상선박의 선수부 형상을 검토하였다. 실제 운항 상태 별로 대상선박에 대하여 저항성능을 평가하였다. 상용 전산유체역학 (CFD) 코드와 수조 모형시험 자료는 유효마력 평가를 위해 사용되었다. 실제 운항 상태를 고려하여 최소저항을 가지는 3가지 개조선형을 제시하였다. 제시된 개조선형은 고객이 선택가능 하다는 점에서 고객 맞춤형 기성품 선형이라고 명하였다. 개조선형 별로 실제 운항 상태 에 따라 유효마력을 추정하였다. 가장 낮은 흘수에서 운항할 경우, 기존선형과 비교하여 볼 때 개조3 선형의 저항성능은 저속영역인 16~18 노트에서 약 11~16%로 향상된 결과를 보여 주었다. 중간 흘수인 8.3m에서 운항할 경우, 개조3 선형의 저항성능은 저속영역에서 기존선형 보다 약 6~11 %로 향상된 결과를 보여 주었다. 가장 높은 흘수인 9.5m에서 운항할 경우, 모든 선형의 저항성능은 저속영역에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

In an attempt to find the improvement of the fishing efficiency according to the hull form remodeling for the 3 tuna purse seiner, the Catch-Per-Unit-Effort (CPUE) for that undertaken before (2008) and after (2010) was analyzed. In addition, the CPUE of 6 similar ships operated same period and same fishing ground. As result, it came to verify that the three modified ships had a significant value on the CPUE. An another index for the improvement of fishing efficiency is the rate of reduction of fuel oil consumption for the modified ships. Fuel oil consumption per day in service speed as comparing with the original ships were reduced 2.1%, 4.0% and 5.1% on the modified ship A, B, and C respectively. And each ship’s service speed was increased 1.0 kt, 0.6 kt, and 0.4 kt according to the modified ship A, B, and C in due order. In the conclusion, the remodeling job with newly equipped bulbous bow, lengthened slipway and enlarged rudder area were improved fairly much on fuel oil efficiency, the ship’s speed, and in the end, that led to the improving fishing efficiency. Hence, the remodeling of tuna purse seiner come to improve not only the fishing performance, but contribute to the reduction of operating cost by saving energy for the fisheries industry.

In an attempt to improve the maneuvering character of hull form renovated tuna purse seiner. A renovation was carried out on the 3 tuna purse seiner fishing vessel. To grasp the progress of maneuvering and resistance on ship B (730 ton class), new bulbous bow was only attached. The ship A (740 ton class) and C (600 ton class) were modified for new bulbous bow, enlarged slipway and rudder. And then the zigzag and the turning test were carried out. According to the turning test, the advance and the tactical diameter were improved very much for the modified ship. The sea trial was carried out for the original and modified ship A. It is showed that the results of sea trial corresponded with that of the tank test on the whole. In the result of the zigzag test on ship B, the turning ability was improved very much, but the yaw checking ability was deteriorated in just some degree. In the result of the zigzag test on ship C, the turning ability and yaw checking ability were remarkably improved. Ship C was greatly improved among the three ships for the maneuvering character of modified hull form.
