한국 연안의 각 항로에 취항하고 있는 대표적인 선형의 여객선들을 대상으로, 각 선형별로 선체운동 계산, 내항성능을 분석하여 선박의 안전성을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 선박의 안전운항과 가장 밀접한 관련을 갖는 바람과 파랑을 주요 해역별로 비교 분석하였다. 이러한 기강정보를 입력요소로 하여 주요해역을 항행하는 대표적인 선형의 여객선들에 대하여 수치 시뮬레이션을 실시하여 여객선의 항해안정성을 평가하였다.

Generally, the navigational safety of a ship under various loading conditions is evaluated by a loading manual. However, the loading manual handles only statical factors such as weight and buoyancy of ship without including any wave conditions. Practically ship's safety is much concerned with the occurrences on the rough sea as propeller racing, rolling, deck wetness, vertical acceleration, lateral acceleration, slamming and so on. The purpose of this paper is to present a synthetic and practical evaluation method of navigational safety using the integrated seakeeping performance index(ISPI) under loading conditions of ship in seaways. The method is calculated by means of the ISPI by measuring only vertical acceleration. Judgement of dangerousness is carried out for four lading conditions : homogeneous full loaded, half loaded, heavy ballast loaded, and normal ballast loaded conditions. In developing the practical evaluation system of navigational safety, it is useful to solve the difficulties in measuring factors by sensors. And by applying the evaluation diagrames, navigators are able to avoid dangerousness by keeping away of the danger encountering angle of wave direction which the diagram shows.
