This study aims to understand the opening efficiency of the finless porpoise escape guide net by the type of extension net that is the part to which the escape guide net is attached in stow net. To this end, extension nets were manufactured in full size and the net mouth area and towing tension were investigated according to the towing speed (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 m/s) and the type of extension net (25 mm net and raschel net) in the water tank. As a result, the net mouth area of the guide net was larger when the raschel net was used for the extension net than when the 25 mm net was used under all towing speeds. In addition, regardless of the type of extension net, the net mouth area reached about 80% of the maximum value at a towing speed of 0.4 m/s. In the field, fishing operation of stow net is performed only when the current speed is above 0.4 m/s. Therefore, the speed of 0.4 m/s was confirmed as a meaningful value to determine whether it is possible to operate. As a result of analyzing the relationship between the net mouth area of the guide net and the towing tension, it was confirmed that the difference in the net mouth area of the guide net according to the type of the extension net was due to the difference in the solidity ratio.

The cast iron pipe protection of submarine cables has a bump in the connection, so the guide device for checking the position and location of the submarine cable must pass through the curved surface. Since the connection is present at a regular intervals, impact loads are periodically applied, affecting the durability of the guide device. In this study, the design was changed to improve the durability of guide device links. And for the analysis of the durability for link of guide device, the flexible dynamic analysis of the guide device was performed using MSC.Adams, and the dynamic stress acting on the link was calculated using MSR(Modal Stress Recovery) method. As a result, the dynamic stress is reduced by 17.9%~31.1%. In addition, durability was calculated for the initial model and the improved model. As a result, the durability of the new model was improved more than 200 % better than to the initial model.
