Assessment of noise exposed population is to check the environment noise level and social influence in order to reduce the risks such as annoyance and disturbance that are generated by environmental noise. Also, this method suggests the preferential noise abatement policy and action plan by accurately finding the area that the noise causes harmful effect to human health. Recently, a noise map, which can predict noise in comprehensive area, is used for the assessment of noise exposed population, breaking from the methods using existing measures. In particular, countermeasure for noise can be considered more effectively by using assessment methods of noise exposed population for specific noise level, area, and building types which are the main input factors in noise maps. In this study, we propose noise reduction ranking decision at ship construction and repair process due to noise map.

The object of this paper is to examine the noise generating mechanism at ship construction and repair precess. To accomplish the object; A noise generating mechanism of high noise machine, which is mounted in the ship construction and repair process, was investigated. The measurement method of the noise for the machine by ship construction were investigated. The noise at the 250 points of the manufacturing process machine in the 40 processes of the 3 factories, 3 business fields was measured. The database of the noise was built from the measurement data. The major sound sources and frequency range for the manufacturing process of metal material product machine was investigated.

기관손상사고에 따른 수리작업 이후 동일한 원인으로 재발하는 경우에 대해 선박의 추진축계의수리 공정에 대해 고찰하였다. 그 결과 line boring machine 개선이 필요하며 Kit process 적용으로 엔진 수명 연장이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

There is a considerable amount of research on ship worker’s hearing loss caused by vibration and noise that comes from the ship’s construction. A further investigation that characterizes the sound that comes from building or repairing a ship is nonexistent or insufficient, however. To do this, a noise management plan is needed. It should include a generated sound process from the main sources of disturbance in the ship- building areas. And a soundproof measurement will identify the amount of noise reduction needed for a hearing- safe working environment. Finally, researchers in this study measured tests on the noise and the vibration process, and the noise caused by operations allowed for an investigation on the suitability of certain environmental conditions. Noise-related programs can be used to predict the noise distribution of the noise level characteristic. This can help identify and reduce the presence of sound interference through sound proofing measures.

This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of exposure to asbestos for ship repair workers in Korea by a systematic review. The number of articles studying asbestos exposure levels from ship repair workplaces was found to be 4. All asbestos concentration reported as either geometric mean and geometric standard deviation or ranges were transformed to arithmetic mean to estimate exposure level. In addition, weighted arithmetic means(WAMs) were calculated by weighing of the different number of samples. The WAM concentrations were 2.746 f/cc during asbestos dismantling work, 0.034 f/cc before asbestos dismantling work and 0.065 f/cc after working respectively. The maximum airborne concentration of asbestos during asbestos removal work was 7.02 f/cc which was 70 times higher than the occupational exposure limit of Korea, 0.1 f/cc. This study recommends that retrospective exposure to asbestos based on various ship types and operations should be assessed.

2000년대 이후 한국의 조선산업은 설계 및 생산기술력의 국제경쟁력을 바탕으로 세계를 선도하는 조선 1위국의 위상을 다져왔다. 최근 중국의 급격한 경제성장으로 인해 아시아 주요 3국(한국, 일본, 중국)의 해상물동량은 전 세계 해상물동량의 30%에 달하며 한국 해운산업 역시 새로이 건설된 대형 항만의 활성화에 힘입어 세계 10위권에 해당되는 등, 선박 수리 분야에 대한 막대한 국내 수요에도 불구하고 한국의 수리조선산업에 대한 경쟁력 분석을 수행한 연구는 드문 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수리조선소 경쟁력의 주요지표인 입지여건, 수리비용 및 기술경쟁력을 중심으로 세계 주요 수리조선국과의 국제경쟁력을 비교 분석한다.
