The estimation of key indicators in a firm’s cost structure, such as marginal costs, economies of scale and elasticity of substitution are essential to defining the optimal pricing policy, investment and the regulation of ports. However, only a few studies have focused on the estimation of such indicators due to the unavailability of cost data on seaports. In addition, other port cost studies focused on all port activities. The output is measured as a physical product rather than as a service product. The main purpose of this paper is then to concentrate on one service, cargo handling in the port of Saint-Brieuc, and to examine the real composition of its costs. The estimation of a translog cost function suggested that the port may have an over employment of administrative staff in the handling service and a limited capacity when it comes to efficiency in the long run. The results also indicated increasing returns to scale that may suggest that the application of pricing at a marginal cost might not aid the total recovery of the outlay. These results are useful from an operational as well as an investment policy perspective.

해양에서의 안전확보는 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않다. 요즘 국내의 관심을 집중시켰던 해양사고중의 하나는 세월호 사고와 더불어 우이산호 사고이다. 이 사고는 2014년 1월 31일 여수 GS-Caltex 원유부두로 진입하던 싱가포르 국적 초대형 유조선(VLCC) “우이산호(WU YI SAN)”가 원유부두와 원유이송 송유관과 충돌하여 송유관 내부에 있던 유류가 해상으로 유출된 사고로서 1995년 여수해안에서 발생한 5천톤 가량의 유류유출사고가 발생한지 거의 20년만의 일이다. 울산항의 유출사고 사례는 2013년에 대형정유업체인 SK 에너지에서 운영하는 부유식 호스의 파손으로 인한 유출사고가 있었다. 이와 관련하여 현재 각 회사에서 운영중인 자체안전관리계획서 승인제도는 위험물 취급에 관한 최고경영자의 관심 결여 및 정부당국의 안전 관리 감독 소홀로 인하여 큰 역할을 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 이 논문에서는 현행 개항질서법상 규정되어 있는 위험물 취급 시설물에 대한 자체안전관리계획서 승인제도의 문제점을 파악하고 이에 대한 개선방안을 도출하여 위험물 취급 시설물에 기인한 사고방지, 환경보호 및 안전 확보에 기여하고자 한다.

The port, differently from general working place, is a closed area to execute security, customs, and quarantine procedures. The loading and unloading is being done differently by cargoes, ships, berths, and equipments. To load and unload a lot of equipments and different types of labor are required, in which work flow is very complicated. As above mentioned the port is very unique and deteriorated working place including danger. Now frequency of cargo handling accidents in port is highest for the second time among all industries. The purpose of this study is to propose ways to analyze and establish the preventive measure for cargo handling accidents in port. We have collected 45 accidents happened at Incheon Port during the period from 2007 to 2009. And the result of analysis, we proposed the new safety management system and safety education to reduce cargo handling accidents and to promote the quality of cargo handling in Incheon Port. Within the framework of effective safety management of cargo handling in port, this study will help to revise and establish system, education, and standard working manual with respect to the port loading and unloading system.

Port, one of nation's key infrastructures, is a point of road and sea transports meeting. As a key base of inter-modal transportation systems, the port is of ever increasing importance for realizing nation's vision of making Korea as an economic and logistics hub in the Northeast Asia. At present, Korean ports handle 99.7% of gross trade volumes in Korea, which requires considerable attention on its safety issues. However, due to the critical characteristics of the port and insufficient attention paid to it, the port industry meets more disasters compared to other industries. Therefore, this paper tries to analyze the disasters happened at the port to have better understanding on its reasons, further to use as learned lessons to prevent from potential disasters that may arise at the port.

In regulation of IGC code 12.1 mechanical ventilation should be arranged to ensure sufficient air movement through the space to avoid the accumulation of flammable or toxic vapours and ensure a safe working environment, but in no case should the ventilation system have a capacity of less than 30 changes of air per hour baed upon the total volume of the space. In this study, a scaled mode chamber was constructed to investigate the ventilation characteristics and stagnation area in the hood room of LNG carrier and pump room in tanker. An experimental study was performed on the model by using visualization equipment with a laser apparatus and an image intensifier CCD camera. Twelve different kinds of measuring areas were selected as the experimental condition. Instant simultaneous velocity vectors in the whole fields were measured by a 2-D PIV system A three-dimensional numerical simulation was also carried out for three different Reynolds numbers. Then the CFD predictions were discussed with the experimental results. The results show the spiral L-shape flow that moves from the opening on the left wall diagonally to the upper right part dominates the ventilation structure. The stationary area of hood room in the velcoity distributions was located in the upper left stern part.

최근 항만하역근로자의 인명사고가 지속적으로 발생함에 따라 사고관리에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이 연구는 GRA법과 Entropy법을 이용하여 우리나라 항만에 대해 하역근로자의 재해 위험성을 평가하고 위험성이 높은 항만을 결정하기 위한 것이다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 먼저 우리나라 항만을 11개의 대상항만으로 구분하고, 브레인스토밍법으로 항만하역근로자 재해 위험성 평가를 위한 평가항목을 추출한다. 두번째는 GRA법을 이용하여 대상항만의 회색관계계수를 산정한다. 마지막으로 엔트로피법을 이용하여 산출한 평가항목의 중요도와 GRA법의 회색관계계수를 결합하여 회색관계등급을 산정하여 재해 위험성의 우선순위를 결정한다. 따라서 제안된 모델에서는 항만하역근로자수, 50세 이상 항운노조원수, 총근로시간, 하역장비수, 철재화물량, 총화물량, 사상자수, 사망자수 등 8개의 평가 항목을 추출되었다. 그 결과 부산항의 재해 위험성이 가장 높게 나타났으며 이에 따라 우선적으로 재해위험성을 경감하는 방안이 검토되어야 할 것이다.

The economy of Korea has grown up significantly in its scale. It has, therefore, become imperative to develop countermeasures to prevent work related injuries and occupational illnesses resultining from haza-rdous working conditions and handling harmful substances. A lot of cargo handling accident in port have occurred due to the characteristics of poor working environment, diversity of working place and method, fluctuation of the amount of cargo and handling of heavy, long, harmful and dangerous cargo, etc. According to '91 industrial accident analysis carried out by the ministry of labour, the number of the stevedores injured by cargo handling accident in port were 1, 432 persons (the death accident : 22 per-sons), the amount of industrial accident compensation in port was 6.7 billion won (the amount of economic loss : 33.6 billion won), and the injury occurance rate of the stevedoring industry was higher than that of the whole industry. This paper, therefore, aims to the actual status of the stevedoring industry and to extract the main cau-ses of the accidents related to cargo handling in port through factor analysis using the data of the accide-nts in the whole habour from 1990 to 1992, and to suggest the countermeasures to prevent such accident. The main causes of the accident and countermeasures are found to be as follows through the factor analy-sis : Factor1, factor2, and factor3 related to a defect of human being and management, a defect of state and environment, and an insufficiency of education and law are extracted. The short-term countermeasures to prevent these accidents are 1) to consolidate the safety and health organization in the working spot, 2) to secure a safe condition in working spot before dock work, 3) to strengthen a dock worker's safety educa-tion. The long-term countermeasures are 1) to promote a decasualisation of dock workers, 2) to modernize the cargo working methods through constructing exclusive pier and introducing exclusive cargo handling equipment, 3) to establish a exclusive dock accident prevention organization and the dock workers law. Factor 4, factor5, factor6, and factor7 related to an unfitness, a deficiency of technical knowledge, a nonfu-lfilment of safety measures, and a bad arrangement are extracted. The countermeasures to prevent these accidents are 1) to perform a complete safety inspection of cargo handling equipments and tools and to carry out the dock work according to a working plan, 2) to publish and supply technical safety books, safety instruction book, safety check list, etc., 3) to strengthen the safety patrol at the working spot in habour and to activate a safety fund, 4) to maintain always a clean workshop with the safety consciousness in which the good arragement of the working spot is considered to be the beginning of safety.
