최근 국내에서는 지구온난화로 인한 해수면 상승과 이에 따른 태풍 및 해일의 증가로 인해 22개항을 선정하여 방파제 보강 및 방호 시설 설치 등의 공사를 시행중에 있다. 또한, 지속적인 선박대형화로 인해 대형선 접안을 위한 수심 준설, 접안부두 확장 등의 항만 공사를 수행하고 있으나, 접안선박의 안전한 계류와 밀접한 영향이 있는 마루높이의 상향 및 보강 등의 뚜렷한 공사 계획은 없는 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내·외 마루높이 설계기준을 분석하고, 환경 및 선박 요소로 나누어 마루높이 평가지표 및 평가방법을 개발하였다. 특히, 선박 평가지표의 경우 각 요소별로 국내·외 규정에 의거하여 4단계로 설정하고, 각 단계별로 평가값을 부여하여 평가값의 곱으로 마루높이 안전도를 평가하였다. 10만톤급 크루즈선의 계류안전성 시뮬레이션 결과, 적정 최저 마루높이 기준은 약최고고조위에서 3 m 상향된 값인 H3으로 도출되었다. 본 연구 결과는 선박 특성을 반영한 부두 마루높이 기준을 제안하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.

As a sense of practical field, most researchers emphasize the importance of safety management to prevent marine accidents. The purpose of this paper is to develope a new safety evaluation method using Safety Index (SI) which is to measure the emotional feeling of navigation officer by traffic situations. In this study, the questionnaires with SI are used to investigate the degree of sensing levels of navigation officers according to the navigation situations. In addition, the traffic data obtained from AIS (Automatic Identification System) data are used to give actual situations in the questionnaire investigation. As results of questionaries investigations based upon the AIS data, it is shown that the Safety Index can be used as a criterion to determine the safety levels of ship navigating in a coastal areas.
