Towing performance of a midwater trawl system was examined aboard the training ship KAYA(2900ps) at the East Sea using the midwater trawl gear that had been designed and manufactured in accordance with the vessel. In this experiment, the trawl system data, the towing speed, the length and tension of the warp, net mouth height, and the depth of otter boards and net were measured and analyzed. The results are as follows: 1. In case of heaving in the warp with constant towing speed, the tension was suddenly increased and then again was reduced and after returned to the original steady state tension. At this time, net height was reduced a bit by ascension of ground rope, but returned to it’s original value. In the case where the warp was paid out, the tension was suddenly decreased and after increased and then returned to the tension of the original state, and the net height was greatly increased instantly by the sinking of the ground rope and then returned to the steady state 2. In the case of increased towing speed mm constant warp length, the tension was increased, and reducing the net height, the gear depth was decreased. On the other hand, in the case where towing speed was reduced, the tension was reduced and the gear depth and net height was increased. 3. Otter boards show a swing motion in the scope of 5~ 10m continuously. Otter boards responded to the state change of the trawl system at first, and then the motion of the net appeared. 4. The depth of net center was about 20m deeper than that of the otter boards, it shows about 0.4 times the warp length at the 4knots towing speed.

본 연구에서는 선박의 항해 안전성과 정박 중인 선박의 계류 안전성 평가에 기초가 되는 선체운동 평가를 위한 다목적 계측시스템을 개발하는데 있다. 다목적 계측시스템은 선박에 탑재되어 외력에 의해 발생하는 동적 동요를 계측 및 분석하기 위해 상하, 좌우, 전후방향의 가속도량을 측정하는 3축 가속도 계측기를 포함하여, 방위 센서, 2축 경사계 및 초음파 변위계로 구성하였다. 선박의 항해 및 계류 안전성을 종합적으로 평가하기 위해서는 특정 센서를 이용, 선체운동을 실시간으로 측정하여 내항성능 평가 시스템과 항해 또는 정박 중인 선박의 상태에 관한 선박 데이터베이스 시스템을 이용하여 평가한다. 개발된 다목적 계측시스템은 해상에서의 전복사고 분석, 선박 출입항 통제, 부두에서의 하역작업 통제, 조선소에서의 내항성능 및 안전설계에 있어서도 적용이 가능하리라 본다.
