In order to establish an operational standard based on ship size, this study considered a specific safety management plan for Ulsan along with international standards, analyzed the results of mooring safety assessment at four vulnerable piers and suggests cargo stoppage and emergency unberthing standards as follows. In accordance with ship characteristics, ships of less than 10,000 tons are recommended to limit their activities for wind speeds of 18-21 m/s and wave heights of 1.0-1.5 m. Ships from 10,000-50,000 tons are recommended to observe wind speeds of 17-20 m/s and wave heights of 1.2-1.5 m, while, ships of 50,000-100,000 tons are recommended wind speeds of 15-19 m/s and wave heights of 1.5 m. Ships of more than 100,000 tons are recommended wind speeds of 14-18 m/s and wave heights of 1.5 m.

Local management trade ports are small-sized trade ports, which require active operation to strengthen the local cities' economic power and enhance the local industries' added value. In addition, local management trade ports should berth ships larger than the existing ships to increase efficiency and keep up with the international trend where ships are becoming larger. Furthermore, they should also prepare operating standards. This study selected Okgye Port among local management trade ports. We performed a mooring safety simulation evaluation according to the scenario where a 50,000 DWT vessel is moored at the current 20,000 DWT class pier. The emergency departure criteria were 27kts at 3.2s of wave period and 22kts at 5.0s of wave period at the existing pier. Results showed that mooring limit condition increased by about 50% to 41kts at 3.2s of wave period and 36kts at 5.0s of wave period. This study can be used for strengthening mooring facilities and setting operational standards for safe port operation when large ships are berthing.
