The port industry is an important national industry which significantly affects Korea's imports and exports which are centered on economic structure. For instance, the Port of Busan, which handles 75% of domestic container freight volume, is expected to become increasingly critical for container liner routes. For this reason, there have been continued efforts to expand freight service to attract international freight volume. This study analyzes the structural characteristics of the port network connected to the Port of Busan by analyzing the pattern of the container liner route from 2012 to 2016 by using social network analysis. According to the Port of Busan's liner route network, the port with the highest degree of centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality was found to be the Port of Singapore. The comparison of Busan's annual container handling rank by countries and the port center network analysis of Port of Busan rank was found to be different. As a result, it was established that China's East Port, which occupies a high percentage of the volume of cargo handled by Port of Busan, is not a hub port of Busan when viewed on the Busan's container terminal liner network. In addition, even if the number of Port of Busan container liner service increases, it is estimated that the vessels to be added to the fleet will be limited to small to medium sized, or that Busan port has characteristic of a feeder port for the Port of Singapore, according to the network.

The Institute Time Clauses-Hulls 1/10/83 has been using widely with attachment and/or endorsement of the Institute Warranties 1/7/76 stipulating vessel's trading limits. Taking into consideration of several changes and renewals on the contents of the Institute Time Clauses-Hulls for clarifying the clauses themselves with development on technology of vessel's construction and navigational equipments up to the present, the clauses on the Institute Warranties 1/7/76 should have been changed and/or renewed. Moreover, the insured still has been burdening additional premium in vessel's navigating and / or calling to the areas stipulated in the Institute Warranties 1/7/76 regardless of any changes of marine business environments. Thus, this study aims to analyze the Institute Warranties 1/7/76 as well as to suggest a reasonable level of additional premium for breach of Institute warranties through not only a comparative analysis between the Institute Warranties clauses and those of the corresponding Institute Warranties using in the Japanese Fire and Marine Insurance companies but also consideration of current circumstances on changes in climatic conditions, vessel design, navigation and communication requirements and capabilities.

동화(燈火)를 사용한 항로표지 중에서 암초나 얕은 곳의 위치를 표시하는데 설치되는 등표의 설계시 해상에 설치되는 현장여건상 전문설계용역사에 의존하여 설계용역을 실시하고 있는 실정이다. 설계파고가 작고 암초의 형상이 넓은 노 간출암인 경우에는 기존 설계 완료된 등표를 적용하여 시공하였을 경우 많은 국가예산이 절감될 것으로 판단된다. 등표설계에 가장 영향을 주는 설계파고는 전국 연안의 설계파고도 작성용역을 실시하여 배부하고 설계파고에 따른 구조물 형상을 절정하기 위하여 표준형 등표 안정성 계산 프로그램을 개발하여 현장여건에 맞는 표준형 등표를 제안함으로서 현장여건이 양호 한 곳은 표준형 등표에서 제안하고 있은 표준형 등표를 적용함으로서 현장별 투입되는 설계용역 예산을 절감하고 설계용역 미 시행에 따른 사업기간을 단축할 수 있는 효과가 기대된다.

Sea ice covers wide area in Terra Nova Bay in East Antarctica where the Jangbogo Antarctic Research Station was built in 2014, which affects greatly on the sailing of an icebreaker research vessel. In this study, we analyzed the optimum sea route and sailable period of the icebreaker to visit the Jangbogo Antarctic Research Station by using sea ice concentration data observed by passive microwave sensors such as Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) for the last decade, and by using sea route of the Araon, an icebreaker of Republic of Korea, from 2010 to 2012. It is found that Araon sailed in the route of sea ice concentration up to 78%. Sailing speed of the Araon decreased due to increasing sea ice concentration. However, Araon maintained the speed close to the average speed for the entire sailing period (~11 kn) in the route of sea ice concentration up to 70%. Therefore, we confirm that the Araon can sail typically in the route which shows sea ice concentration below 70%. We derived annually available sailing period in recent 10 years for the sea route of the Araon in 2010, 2011 and 2012, which is defined as the period showing sea ice concentration below 70% through the route. Maximum sailable period was analyzed to be 61 and 62 days for the route of the Araon in 2010 and 2011, respectively. However, the typical sailing in the routes was unavailable in some years because sea ice concentration was higher than 70% through the routes. Meanwhile, the sailable period for the routes of the Araon in 2012 was observed in every year, which was a minimum of 15 days and is a maximum of 89 days. Therefore, we could suggest that optimum route of icebreaker to visit the Jangbogo Antarctic Research Station is the route of the Araon in 2012. High resolution images from SAR or optical sensors are necessary to investigate sea ice condition near shoreline of Jangbogo research station due to several kilometers of low resolution of sea ice concentration.

Japanese government has instituted and carried out Super-core Ports Policy to improve their operating efficiencies of international container ports from 2004. Despite of diverse institutional and administrative supports within this policy, this paper has assessed that they couldn't accomplished goals at the end of 2009 when the policy ended. In short, Japanese Super-core ports have explicitly lost the competitiveness for functioning as a hub-port in the East Asia region. We could find some defaults in the policy i.e. some limits of the private terminal operating units, inefficiencies in teaming between ports within Super-core port, lacking with system for collecting cargoes. In 2010, Japan is going to reinforce International Strategic Container Port Policy following Super-core Ports Policy. With this policy, they ought to prepare for the last leap on the basis of selection and concentration rules in international port. This new policy is particularly focused on recapturing their T/S cargo via Busan port. Regarding these changes, Busan port needs to prepare counter measurements for preserving Japanese T/S cargo firmly.

The light buoy installed on the sea is always flexible, because it is affected by the weather as well as passing vessels. The position of the light buoy can be cached through the AtoN AIS (Automatic Identification System) and RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). This study analyzed the position data of the light buoys for the last five years (2017-2021), as well as the distribution of the light buoys within the maximum separated position. As a result, there was a basic error of 17.9% in the position data. Additionally, the separated position error of 197 light buoys to be analyzed was 70.64%, and the AtoN RTU was worse than the AtoN AIS by equipment. On the other hand, as a result of the plotting the position data of the light buoy, it was classified into four types. The most common percussion center type, the percussion center dichotomous type in which the position is divided into two zones based on the chimney, the central movement type with a fluctuating center, and the drag type, in which the position is deviated from the center for a certain period. Except for Type-1, the type was determined according to the position at which the light buoy was installed. This study is the first to analyze the position data of the light buoy, and it is expected that it will contribute to the improvement of the quality of the position data of the light buoy.
