Because there are only a limited number of means of action that are available for the master to pursue in the event of flooding, onboard decision support system has been required The majority of systems activated during a flooding emergency (such as watertight and semi-watertight doors, bulkhead valves, dewatering pumps etc.) almost exclusively aim to restore a sufficiently high level of subdivision to prevent flooding from spreading through the ship. Even though assuming the flooding scenario is not catastrophic, the use of ballast tanks can be an additional and very effective tool to ensure both prevention of flooding spreading and also improve ship stability. This paper describes an optimization algorithm devised to choose the set of ballast tanks that should be filled in order to achieve an optimal response to a flooding accident.

The ship motion of large LNG ships affects ships' safety. The purpose of this study was to estimate the transfer function of roll motion among the hull motion of 153,000 m3 class LNG vessels. The ship motion transfer function was modeled using a Linear Time-Invarient system with single input, single output, and transfer function. The transfer function of the ship motion was estimated by the system identification method using single ocean wave as input of the model, and using the roll motion of the LNG ship obtained through ANSYS as the output of the model. The usefulness of the experimental results was evaluated using the precision and estimation rate of the model for cases wherein the different transfer function dimensions. Results of the experiment showed a precision at 99% and 98%, with estimation rate at 78% and 50%. From these results, we found the proposed method of estimating the transfer function of ship motion in this study reasonable. In the future, data of ship motion in actual sea conditions will be acquired and it will be applied to make the construction of models with multiple inputs and multiple outputs for practical use.

Screw-failure accidents in small ships frequently occur in coastal waters. In particular, vessels' propulsion systems are frequently coiled due to objects such as fish-nets and ropes that float on the sea. The failure of the ship's propulsion system can cause primary accidents such as ship operation delays and drifting due to loss of power; furthermore, the possibility of secondary accidents such as those involving operators in the underwater removal of rope stuck in a propeller. Ships that do not have the proper tools to solve these problems must be either lifted onto land to be repaired or divers must dive directly under the ship to solve the problem. Accordingly, some small vessels have been equipped with rope-cutter devices on the propeller shaft to prevent ship propeller system accidents in recent years; however, they are not being applied efficiently due to the cost and time of installation. To solve these problems, this study develops an underwater rope-cutter device and controller for the removal of propeller and shaft foreign material in small vessels. This device has simple structures that use the principle of a saw. Meteor gears and crank pins were used for the straight-line rotation of saw blades of the underwater rope-cutters to allow for long strokes. Furthermore, the underwater rope-cutting machines can be operated by being connected to the ship battery. The user, a non-professional, can ensure convenience and stability by applying reverse current prevention and a speed control circuit so that it can be used more conveniently and safely.

When a barge is towed by a tug boat using a tow line, the barge is frequently subject to a large sway motion induced from its inherent yaw motions. This large sway motion combined with external forces due to winds and waves may makes the towing to be difficult or even dangerous. It has been reported that in worse situations, barges or tugs are capsized. In addition, the large sway motion of the towed barge gives a menace to the safety of ships navigating nearby. This paper is the results of the experimental investigation into the course stability of an 8,000 DWT barge using a Towing Tank and a Circulating Water Channel. Various skegs are designed and course stability tests for the barge with skegs are conducted in calm water and in irregular waves. It is observed that an effective skeg attached to the barge enables the sway motion to be zero while the sway amplitude of the bare hull is around 10 times its breadth.

Lab scale experimental study was carried out for SBR process, to investigate the effects of influent ship sewage organic compound removal and Bacillus sp. state on design parameters. This process was able to remove nitrogen and phosphorus as well as organic matter efficiently. More than 95% of chemical oxygen demand(COD) were removed. In addition, about 97% of total nitrogen (T-N) was reduced. The total phosphorus(T-P) reduction averaged 93%. The performance load of SBR process was shown to be 0.095kg ${\cdot}$ TOC/$m^{3}$ ${\cdot}$ day. The pH was decreased from 8.1 to 7.0 within 30 min and increased to 7.3 at the end of anoxic stage, and these phenomena were explained. The sluge produced in the SBR process is characterized by low generation rate (about 0.36kg ${\cdot}$ MLSS/kg ${\cdot}$ TOC) and excellent settleability. The number of Bacillus sp. in the SBR was 24.2%, indicating that Bacillus sp. was a predominant species in the reactor.

When typhoon approaches, ship normally drops her anchor at proper anchorage for sheltering. If an anchoring ship is under the influence of typhoon, she can keep her position when the external force and counter force is balanced. Where, external force is induced by wind, wave and tidal currents while counter force is induced by holding power of anchor/chain and thrust force of main engine. In this study, authors presented a method to analyze theoretically the limit of external force for the ship to keep her position without being dragged and, to check the validity of method, applied this to the ship which had been anchored in Jinhae Bay when the typhoon MAEMI passed on September 2003.

In order to inspect the existing or newly constructed ship's hull, a professional diver directly inspects the ship's bottom of the water. However, since it is a work done by people, there are many dangers such as human casualties and crashes. To solve this problem, it is necessary to develop underwater drones for ship inspection for visual inspection. The technology applied to underwater drones, the use and manufacturing process of each component, and the method of manufacture such as firmware development were described, and the difference was compared by measuring the drone's own driving ability and driving ability using crawler under water, and the location tracking device test confirmed the error from the actual location. It is estimated that the use of underwater drones produced through this research will prevent human casualties and achieve economic effects and stability.

It expects demand of ships which equipped with JIB crane growth to continue. However, demand of JIB crane is increased, domestic shipment company imitated the design of Europe and Japan. And we need to develop the functional system of the JIB crane and modernize it. We need to find the optimum luffing angle for saving energy when JIB crane works. This study analyzed buckling load of JIB and reaction force of support point and stress of JIB according to the luffing angle through finite element analysis when JIB crane loads 40 ton weight. And this study considered the safety factor 1.8 of material. Every design condition was KS A1627 standard. This study used ANSYS 10.0.
