해양공간 이용 수요와 중요도의 지속적인 증가에 따라 국내에서의 해양탐사 및 해양조사활동이 활발히 수행중이다. 이러한 활 동을 위해 운항되는 해양탐사조사선은 목적 및 탐사선박에 따라 특수한 운항패턴을 가지므로 해상교통위험도를 고려한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 해양탐사·조사선의 운항이 해상교통에 미치는 영향을 각 요인별 상관관계로 파악하고자 하였다. 우리나라에서 활동중인 해양탐사·조사선 현황을 파악하였고 일부 해양물리탐사선의 특수한 운항실태를 식별하였다. 운항자부담감의 결과를 비교하기 위해서 운 항요인 중 각 2가지를 독립변수로하여 ES Model 기반의 해상교통류시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 분석결과 교통량, 선박 길이, 속력 순으로 운항자 부담감이 두드러지게 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 인근 해상교통흐름과 선수방위(침로)가 거의 유사한 운항 침로를 설정할 경 우 운항자 부담감이 다소 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 해양탐사·조사선이 운항계획을 설정할 단계에서 인근 해상교통현황을 파 악하여 운항방식에 반영한다면 운항자 부담감을 감소시키는데 기여할 것이다.

According to Software Quality Assurance (SQA) and the Human Centred Design (HCD) guidelines for e-navigation by Maritime Safety Committee of International Maritime Organization, software quality related activities and practices will be in demand in the maritime field. To provide high quality software and a usable system to users, e-navigation SQA is supported by Republic of Korea. After merging with the HCD as suggested by Australia, it has been endorsed as IMO Circ.1512 in June 2015. To apply SQA to the maritime industry, it needs to achieve the current status of maritime software related industries. This article introduces the IMO Circ.1512 and the progress of e-navigation SQA so far including the international workshop held in Busan, Korea as previous accomplishments. Also, the result of a survey on the status of software quality management of the Korean domestic maritime IT related industry will be described. The purpose of survey is to find out how SQA is dealt with in domestic industry, what experiences the industry have had so far and what software project related issues they have. The questionnaire is composed of two parts. The first part mainly deals with fundamental knowledge about the scale of the company and the number of development teams s. The second part consists of three sub-parts with Quality Management, Configuration Management, and Process Management. Otherwise, several questions are surveyed with respect to engineering tools for SQA and education support. Approximately 150 cases were gathered. The outcome of the survey shows some points that both of industry and government can contemplate for the future.

Visual census and hydro-acoustic survey was carried out at Ulju small scale marine ranching area (MRA) to estimate demersal fish aggregations on September and November 2013. In this hydro-acoustic survey, the authors combined an image sonar with a scientific echo sounder to monitor an underwater situation and compare two acoustic data. Consequently, visual census survey was useful to estimate fish species composition for hydro-acoustic survey, because it is easy to identify aggregated fish species and overcome limits on a fishing depth and ability of an conventional fishing gear like a bottom gill-net or a fish trap at marine ranching area. Mean fish density was estimated as 0.757 g/m2 on September and 0.219 g/m2 on November and Fish abundance was finally calculated as 1.51ton (coefficient of variation, CV=13.1%) on September and 0.44ton (CV=47.7%) on November, respectively. Hydro-acoustic survey combined with the image sonar was useful to monitor fish aggregations and estimate fish stocks around artificial reefs at shallow coastal MRA. We were able to easily identify the underwater structures like an artificial reef and a fishing rope as well as fish aggregations from image sonar data. Therefore, the method was effective to separate unwanted echo signals in acoustic data of scientific echo sounder.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 주변 해역에서 바다모래 채취 시 발생되는 현탁류에 대해 5년간(2008년∼2012년) 해양환경조사서 내 조사 현황을 검토하였다. 이 기간 동안 연·근해역 내 7곳(남해 EEZ, 서해 EEZ, 서해 EEZ 변경 단지, 태안군 관할 해역, 안산시 관할 해역, 옹진군 관할 해역 2곳)의 바다모래 채취구역 중 2곳(EEZs와 연안역 내 채취 구역 각각 1곳)에서 현탁류 내 부유토사의 확산과 이동에 관한 현장 관측이 수행되었다. 그러나 해역별 해양물리적, 지형적 특성과 기상 조건을 반영한 조사 정점 및 범위를 선정한 사례는 확인되지 않았다. 조류, 파랑, 바람장, 수심, 하계 성층화 등의 영향에 의해 부유토사는 바다모래 채취 구역을 넘어 훨씬 더먼 거리까지 이동될 수 있다. 따라서 바다모래 채취 과정에서 해저층 퇴적물의 재부유, 그리고 준설선박의 여수토와 배사관에서 배출되는 월류수 등에서 기인한 부유토사의 확산에 대해 집중 모니터링 방안과 세부 조사 기법의 도입이 필요하다. 또한 현탁류의 확산 경로상에서 부유물질, 영양염, 중금속 등의 오염물질로 인해 주변 해양환경과 유용 수산생물이 포함된 해양생태계 등에 미치는 누적 영향을 추적하고, 환경 피해를 최소화하기 위한 통합 지침안을 마련해야 한다.

본 연구는 우리나라 전국 무역항 중 입항 선박이 많은 주요 4개 항만을 선정하여 10일간의 AIS 실측 자료를 분석하였다. 실측 조사로 산출한 주요항만의 피크시간 혼잡도는 시간당 평균혼잡도 보다 약 3.8~5.7배 높게 나타났다. 이는 기존의 Port-MIS 통계자료로 울산항 본항의 해상교통혼잡도를 평가한 선행연구 사례에서 피크시간 혼잡도가 시간당 평균혼잡도 보다 약 1.7배 높은 것과는 많은 차이가 있어 현 항로의 교통특성을 왜곡하는 문제를 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 해상교통혼잡도를 평가할 때에는 Port-MIS 통계자료보다 실측조사를 기반으로 해상교통혼잡도를 산출하는 것이 타당하다고 본다.

OTEC(Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) system using the temperature difference between cooler deep and surface ocean waters is one of the renewable energy. But in Korea, OTEC system can not apply except in winter because surface sea water temperature is not enough. C-OTEC(Combined OTEC) system is that utilizes temperature difference between sea water and the condenser of power plants via working fluid. It can be a good alternative in the warm surface sea water for Mid-latitudes region like Korea. In this study, a marine survey using multi-beam echo sounder, single-beam echo sounder and sparker seismic wave is performed and sea water intake pipe line is proposed for the 10kW C-OTEC Pilot Plant.

피로도는 인간의 업무수행능력에 유해한 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한 피로도는 해기사와 선박승무원의 효율성과 능률을 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 해기사들의 피로도 현황을 파악하기위한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 해기사의 피로도 요소와 관련된 근무, 수면 및 휴식시간이나 기간, 졸음, 유발요인, 피로도 증상 등에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사는 25문항 이었으며, 1,033명의 해기사(항해사 607명, 기관사 426명)를 대상으로 실시하였다. 설문조사 결과 해기사의 피로도는 충돌, 좌초와 같은 해양사고 유발요인의 하나이며, 항해사와 기관사의 피로도는 서로 차이가 있었다.

To establish a vessel safety management system for improving the safety of vessel's traffic and preventing vessel's traffic accidents, the state of marine traffic in the Busan South Port was investigated and analyzed as preliminary survey of the countermeasures. As a result of the study, there are 1,158 vessels in a day, 48 vessels in an hour, and the maximum traffic is about 118 vessels between 16:00 and 17:00 hours everyday, which requires to establish and operate a traffic control system necessarily for ensuring vessel's traffic safety. Furthermore, passages of tanker, passenger ship, cargo vessel and government vessel showed to sail along main traffic lane to be obtained enough sea depth at the survey area. However, passages of fishing vessel and launch showed to sail freely at all survey area owing to outstanding maneuverability and a shallow draft. Some vessels of launch sailed along main traffic lane, but other vessels crossed to sail it. The passages to cross main traffic lane is higher the risk of collision. Therefore, safety measures are urgently needed for the operation of the Busan South Port management system and the prevention of marine pollution.

Hydro-acoustic survey was carried out to estimate a fish distribution at marine ranching area and aggregated fish schools at artificial reef area in Oeyeondo, Korea. The survey system was set up with DGPS system, scientific echo sounder (EK60, Simrad Co.), and ECDIS (Mecys. Co. LTD). A track survey and a random survey was respectively applied to the marine ranching area (474.4ha) and to the artificial reef area (within a radius of 300m). As the result, fish distribution and MVBS values in marine ranching area showed that created fisheries resources didn't come to be abundant yet as to appear fish distribution in all of the area. In the artificial reef area, it was, however, able to detect many fish school signals on the top of and around artificial reefs and to confirm the luring effect of artificial reefs.

This study was performed to investigate the contents of sulfites in 2,770 dried marine products in Seoul Chung-Bu market from March to October in 1999. Sulfites of the samples were determined by Zn powder reduction method and Monnier-Williams's modified method. Eight samples of 2,770 (0.29%) were detected over 30ppm in S02 contents by Monnier-Williams's modified method. In samples detected over 30ppm, six dried filefishes(130.2-573.4ppm) were imported from Vietnam, same kind of other one(114.2ppm) was from China and the other one Alaska pollack(195.3ppm) was domestic. By Zn powder reduction method, 259 dried marine products (259/2,770=9.35%) were positive reaction (1-30ppm). These were 93 dried shrimps, 53 filefish meats, 34 dried squids, 33 slices of dried pollacks and 17 sea mussel meats. So sulfites must be use commonly to prevent black spot and preserve for many dried shrimps, filefishes meats, dried squids etc. According to results, the quality test for the imported dried marine products must be reinforced to supply safety food for the citizens.

A survey of professionals employed in marine related fields was conducted on subjects related to marine meteorological forecasts and special reports. The outcome of the survey indicated that the respondents were overall satisfied with the determination of the zones related to marine meteorological forecasts and special reports and with the number of forecast factors, but in regards to the questions about specific adjustment methods, it was found that the respondents perceived a need for adjustment. In addition, although there was a high consensus among the respondents that the criteria for watch and warning in the marine special reports were suitable, they voiced the opinion that it will be necessary to implement changes in the current criteria for watch and warning in order to further improve the compatibility of the criteria. The survey found that there was a high level of utilization for the marine meteorological information provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA), and that respondents mostly acquired this information via internet and TV. On the other hand, however, the satisfaction level regarding the accuracy of the marine meteorological information was low in comparison to the utilization level. The survey regarding areas for improvement in the forecasts and special reports also indicated that the need for ‘improvement in the accuracy of forecasts’ was cited most frequently.
