A mariner feels the shiphandling difficulty when the vessel onboard passes through breakwater. Until now, the shiphandling difficulty of the mariner has not been taken into account in the layout of a pair of breakwater. This paper reproduced such a situation that shiphandling is difficult enough by using marine traffic flow simulation, it is assessed by using ES Model which is a quantitative model for evaluating the difficulty of shiphandling arising from maneuvering a ship in the restricted or congested waters. The results are as follows. (1) The change in the layout of a pair of breakwaters has little influence on the shiphandling difficulty. (2) If the width between breakwaters is the same. the speed of a ship affects the shiphandling difficulty. (3) The increase of the width decreases the shiphandling difficulty.

Aid to Navigation (AtoN) is the artificial facilities to facilitate the ship's safe navigation using light, shape, color, sound, and radio waves. IALA has developed and operated the educational course for expert groups for the design, deployment, and management of AtoN. Also, maritime educational institutes have operated various educational courses for safe navigation through the ship's operation and ECDIS curriculum for seafarers. However, education using the AtoN Simulator System is needed to prevent marine accidents caused by misunderstanding of the AtoN according to various topographical, environmental, and maritime traffic environments. In this study, the existing ship handling simulator and AtoN simulator were applied to develop educational modules for accurate understanding and application of AtoN in various environments, enhancing the quality of education from the existing theoretical point of view and improving practical use to maximize educational efforts.

The evaluation of safety of simulated maneuvers is frequently analysed by so called goal-line or point of interest in Korea. For the purpose of warning the risk in the proximity measure composed of only the goal-line analysis, this paper utilized Korea Institute of Maritime and Fisheries Technology(KIMFT) which houses a real-time, full-mission shiphandling simulator to examine the goal-line and in-length analyses in the outbound channel of Kwangyang port as an example. It used a 15,000 TEU container ship as a model under environmental conditions of the northwestly 26-knot wind and 2.2-knot ebb current. The result of two analyses showed the probability invading the channel boundary obtained by the goal-line analysis is a little greater than that of the in-length analysis. Therefore it was acknowledged that the proximity measure by the goal-line analysis alone may be followed by some risk. In addition, this paper was to suggest the closest distance to channel boundary from the ship's edge as one of proximity measures, instead of using the ship's deviation from the centerline of channel.

최근 들어 급증하고 있는 해양 충돌 사고 증가의 원인은 선박을 조종하는 항해사의 잘못된 판단 에 의한 부주의가 대부분이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 가장 적극적인 방법은 선박에 자동화 및 지능화를 부여하여 항해사의 실수를 최소화하는 것이다. 대표적인 연구는 선박의 자율운항시스템(autonomous navigation system)이 있는데, 이는 선박운항에 있어 항해계획을 수립하고 현재의 선박의 상태를 파악하여 선박을 적절히 제어하는 항해 전문가시스템이다. 선박 자율운항시스템은 실세계의 선박에 장착되어 실험하여야하나, 선박은 고가의 운송수단이고, 자율운항시스템을 장착하기 위한 하부장치 인터페이스를 설계 및 구현에 많은 시간이 소요되므로 실제 선박을 모방하는 선박시뮬레이터를 이용하는 방법이 타당하다. 선박시뮬레이터는 선박의 물리적 운항특성을 모방하는 선박운동시뮬레이터와 선박 운항 주변에 변화하는 장애물을 시뮬레이터 하는 주변 객체시뮬레이터로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 선박 운항 주변에 등장하는 장애물 변화를 시뮬레이션하고, 이에 기반한 ARPA RADAR를 모의 가동하는 주변객체시뮬레이터를 개발한다.

As trade cross the world is increasing these days, safe and effective management of harbour system is becoming important issue. With this background, the development of automatic time-domain simulation programme for ship berthing operation has been being peformed and PD (Proportional Derivative) controller has been used to control the speed and the heading angle of ships. This paper provides feasibility study for developing the time-domain simulation programme for berthing operation of ships with analysing advantages and drawbacks of the two different mathematical models, one is for low advance speed of ships by Kose (1984) and the other is MMG model for normal advance speed, through the simulations with various initial heading angles and positions of the ship.

The performance of navigational equipments is advanced, but the importance of the practical capability of bridge device by ship's officer, ie the ability of risk prediction and the obligation of avoidance for reducing sea accident, has been constantly augmenting. This abilities and obligation may be represented in the cognitive competence of navigational officer. Different levels of ship's bridge team was carried out rescue maneuvering by ship handling simulator and then it analyzed the resulting of initial response in cognitive progress by case based on trajectory. Further, the data will be used as training and evaluation model of cognitive situation.

Yaw-checking and course-keeping ability in IMO's ship manoeuvrability standards is reviewed from the viewpoint of safe operation. Three types of assumed series-ships, which have systematically different instability on course, are taken as tested models. The numerical simulation on Z-test is carried out in order to examine the correlation between known manoeuvrability and various kinds of overshoot angle. Then simulator experiments are executed with series-ships in situation of curved, narrow of waterway by five pilots in order to examine the correlation between known manoeuvrability and degree of manoeuvring difficulty. Three kinds of IMO's criterion concerning yaw-checking and course-keeping ability are discussed and new criteria are proposed.

Draught and trim conditions are highly related to the loading condition of a vessel and are important factors in predicting ship manoeuverability. This paper estimates hydrodynamic coefficients from sea trial measurements with three different trim and draught conditions. A mathematical optimization method for system identification was applied to estimate the forces and moment acting on the hull. Also, fast time simulation software based on the Rheinmetall Defense model was applied to the whole estimation process, and a 4,500 Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) class container carrier was chosen to collect sets of measurement data. Simulation results using both optimized coefficients and newly-calculated coefficients for validation agreed well with benchmark data. The results show mathematical optimization using sea measurement data enables hydrodynamic coefficients to be estimated more simply.

In order to investigate the hydrodynamic interaction between the tug-barge and bank or ship which is crossing to the opposite direction, we have executed the towing simulation of tug-barge transportation. Heading of barge, yaw moment and lateral force of tug boat are obtained by this simulation. We have analyzed the characteristics of results and propose the safety towing method for tug-barge operation.
