International Maritime Organization (IMO) has established standards for ship manoeuvrability and applied these standards for vessels over 100 meters in length that built since 2004 (IMO, resolution MSC.137[76]). These standards are no exception to fishing vessels. In this study we carried out a manoeuvring simulation of the new model ship (Stern trawler) of fisheries training ship of Pukyong National University based on Kijima's empirical formula. The formula takes into account of the effect of stern shape or does not take into account of the effect of stern shape. Also we checked whether the simulation results of turning motion of model ship meet IMO manoeuvrability criteria and then compared trajectories between the simulation results of model ship and the results of real sea trial test of the existing ship. In conclusion, Kijima's empirical formulas can estimate the manoeuvrability of fishing vessels at design stage approximately, it needs more parameters of fishing vessel own in case of expressing the manoeuvrability of fishing vessel accurately.

본 연구에서는 선미형상을 고려한 조종성능을 심수역 뿐만 아니라 천수역에 대해서 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 검토하였다. 선미형상을 나타내는 파라메터 중 Cwa를 미소(±2%)하게 변화시킴으로써 각 수역에서의 침로안정성, 선회 및 지그재그 성능이 어떤 변화를 보이고 그 경향이 어떻게 변화하는 지를 검토하였다. 선박의 조종성능 관점에서 흘수 대 수심의 비(=d/H)가 0.5 부근에서의 조종성에 큰 변화를 가져오는 중요 지점임을 알 수 있었고, 비대선(VLCC, 탱커 등)과 세장선(컨테이너)의 경우 선미형상의 변화에 따라 조종성능의 변화 정도가 많은 차이를 가질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, Cwa를 감소(U형에 근접)시키면 선회운동에 있어서 advance 및 tactical diameter가 증가하고, 지그재그 운동에서는 track reach는 증가하지만 각 overshoot angle들은 감소한다. 이와 반대로, Cwa를 증가(V형에 근접)시키면 선회운동에 있어서 advance 및 tactical diameter는 감소, 지그재그 운동에서는 track reach는 감소, 각 overshoot angle 들은 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

This study is intended to provide navigator with specific information necessary to assist in the avoidance of collision and in operation of ships to evaluate the manoeuvrability of own ship. The actual manoeuvering characteristics of ship can be adequately judged from the results of typical ship trials manoeuvres. Author carried out sea trials based full scale for turning test, zig-zag test, spiral tests and crash-stop test at actual sea going condition. The turning circle manoeuvres were performed on starboard and port sides with 35˚ rudder angle at the service speed, and Zig-zag procedures were performed on both sides with 10˚ and 20˚ rudder angle respectively. Spiral tests were carried out on the both sides and crash stop test was also carried out. The results from tests could be compared directly with the standards of manoeuverability of IMO and consequently the manoeuvring qualities of the ship is fully satisfied with its.

The studies on automatic ship collision avoidance system, which have been carried out in the last 10 years, are facing on new situation due to newly developed high technology such as computer and other information system. It was almost impossible to make it used in real navigation field 3-4 years ago because of the absence of any tool to give other ship's information, however recently developed technology suggests new possibility. This study is carried out to develop the automatic ship collision avoidance support system which considers ship's manoeuvrability into it's collision avoidance algorithm. One of the important part in ship collision avoidance system is collision decision module which can calculate collision risk with other ships and act properly to avoid the situation. Many of previous researches are using present ship's dynamic data such as present speed, position and course to calculate collision risk. However when a ship commences avoidance action, the real situation is quite different with one that has been estimated by the ship's initial data due to the ship's manoeuvring characteristic. Therefore it is better to take into account ship's manoeuvring characteristic from the stage of collision decision in ship collision avoidance system. In this study, these effects are included in the developed system. The proposed system are verified its usefulness in numerical simulation environments.

이 연구는 선박 설계 초기단계에서 선형 변화에 따른 선박 조종성능 추정에 관한 내용을 다루었다. 선박제원을 대표하는 파라메터 그리고 선미형상의 변화를 민감하게 반영할 수 있는 새로운 파라메터를 선정하는 작업을 수행하였다. 이렇게 선정된 파라메터와 유체력 미계수와의 상관관계를 알아보기 위하여 구속모형 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 기본적인 선박제원 중 선체 유체력 미계수와 상관도가 높은 파라메터를 가려낼 수 있었다. 또한 선미형상의 새로운 파라메터와 조종성능과의 상관도를 추정할 수 있었다. 또한 이를 활용하여 유체력미계수에 대한 새로운 경험식을 제시하였다. 이를 활용하면, 초기 선형 설계 시 선형변화 및 수정에 따른 조종성능 추정에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The IMO manoeuvrability standard was established for preventing sea accidents such as collisions and strandings due to the lack of manoeuvrability. The standard of ship manoeuvrability enforced by resolution MSC.l37(76) has been applied to vessels of 100m or more in length and all chemical tankers and gas carriers regardless of the length, which were constructed on or after 1 July 1994. The IMO manoeuvrability standard is able to be divided into three kinds as followings; (1) Turning capability standard: Estimated values in design stage are to be certified by turning circle test of the actual vessel. (2) Course keeping quality standard : Estimated values in design stage are to be certified by 10 deg. and 20 deg. zig-zag tests of the actual vessel. (3) Shortest stopping distance standard : Estimated value in design stage is to be certified by the shortest stopping distance tested by the actual vessel. In this paper, the authors verified the criteria of IMO manoeuvrability standard comparing them with the values resulted from sea trial tests of various kinds of actual vessels and examined separately the validity of all criteria of the standard.

대형선박의 충돌 혹은 좌초와 같은 많은 해양사고는 선박의 조종성능 부족으로 인하여 발생되고 있다. 따라서 IMO(국제해사기구)에서는 1994년 제18회 총회에서 결의서 A.751(18)로서 선박조종성에 대한 잠정기준을 채택하였고, 이 기준은 1994년 7월 1일 이후 건조된 길이100m 이상의 선박 또는 길이에 관계없이 모든 케미컬탱커 및 개스운반선에 대하여 적용된다. IMO 조종성기준은 크게 설계단계에서의 선회성능과 보침성능 및 최단정지성능으로 대별된다. 이 논문에서는 몇 척의 대형선박에 대한 최초 설계단계에서의 자료를 이용하여 조종성능에 관한 계산 및 시뮬레이션을 행하고, 계산된 결과를 모형실험 결과와 비교, 검토하였으며, IMO 조종성기준의 타당성에 관하여 검토 고찰하였다.
