During the years 2016 to 2020, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries embarked on a strategic initiative to develop a comprehensive Korean e-navigation system, which encompassed the establishment of an 'Long Term Evolution for Maritime (LTE-M).' The primary objectives were to proactively align with international navigation standards and enhance maritime safety for small vessels, particularly fishing boats. However, limitations were identified in the utilization of this network, primarily its constrained application for specific purposes. In response to these limitations, this study delves into user-centric investigations through surveys and interviews, with the goal of expanding the horizon of network utilization. User requirements emerged as the result of study, emphasizing the need for broader network applications, a wider range of target users, diverse network utilization methods, and regulatory streamlining. The user-driven insights gleaned from this study hold the potential to inform and shape future legislative measures, fostering more versatile and inclusive LTE-M network utilization for enhanced maritime safety.

This paper proposes a sensorless speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on an adaptive sliding mode observer (SMO) for electric propulsion system of small ships. An adaptive observer gain is proposed based on the Lyapunov's stability criterion to reduce the chattering problem at any speed operation instead of the constant gain observer. Furthermore, a cascade low-pass filter with variable cut-off frequency is suggested to strengthen the filtering capability of the observer. The experimental results from a 1.5 kW PMSM drive are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive SMO. The result shows that the proposed method gives good speed control performances even when the PMSM operates at 0.5% from its rated speed value.

In this study, a pile-guide mooring system (PGMS) was designed for an offshore liquefied natural gas bunkering terminal (LNG-BT), which is an essential infrastructure for large LNG-fuelled ships. The PGMS consisted of guide piles to restrict five motions of the floater, except for heave, as well as a seabed truss structure to support the guide piles and foundation piles to fix the system to the seabed. Singapore port was considered for a case study because it is a highly probable ports for LNG bunkering projects. The wave height, current speed, and wind speed in Singapore port were investigated to calculate the environmental loads acting on the hull and PGMS. A load and resistance factor approach was used for the structural design, and a finite element analysis was performed for design verification. The steel usage of the PGMS was analyzed and compared with the material usage of a gravity-based structure under similar LNG capacity and water depth criteria. This paper also describes the water depth limit and wave conditions of the PGMS based on estimation of the initial investment and the present value profit difference. It suggests a suitable LNG-BT support system for various design conditions.

As DME (Dimethyl ether) is the one of the future possible massive energy sources synthesized from natural gas, KOGAS has been doing to obtain overseas resources to meet the domestic needs. and tried to build new DME FPSO ship. This paper presents that it can help for the DME storage tank designers and storage management engineers doing proper work by understood the evaporation phenomena and pressure change of DME by thermal intake in storage tank. The experimental result shows that the evaporation rate and pressure are increased with higher liquid filling level. The proper DME liquid filling level in tank is obtained as lower than full 98% volume of tank in case of storing longer than a day, because the pressure is increased rapidly with full 98% filled level of storage tank.

고온 초전도 전력기기는 상전도 전력기기에 비해, 중량과 부피가 작고 전력손실이 거의 없어 효율이 높고 대용량기기에 많은 장점을 지니고 있으며 또한 환경 친화적이다. 대형화가 요구되는 선박추진용 모터를 초전도 모터로 사용할 경우 저속 및 고 토크의 모터를 제작할 수 있고, 계자 권선과 전기자 권선을 초전도 선재로 사용함으로써 높은 전류밀도와 고 자장이 가능하여 고효율 및 소형 경량화 등의 장점이 있다. 그러나 전초전도 모터의 경우 얇은 테이프 형태의 초전도 선재의 특성으로 인해 구리선처럼 가공이 힘들고, 선재를 초전도 상태로 만들기 위한 냉각이 필요하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 동기모터와 선형모터를 혼합하여 고정자에 위치한 racetrack type의 전기자 권선뿐만아니라 회전자에 자기장을 발생시키는 계자 권선도 회전자가 아니라 고정자부분에 위치하므로 구조상 견고하고 냉각등에 장점이 있는 호모폴라 모터를 제안하였으며 자기저항의 변화가 작은 구조로 토크 리플이 작으므로 소음과 진동이 적은 모터를 설계하였다. 설계 결과로부터 호모폴라 모터를 제작하였으며 레이스트렉형과 팬케이크 권선의 임계전류등을 측정하였다. 추후 호모폴라 모터의 성능시험을 진행할 예정이다.

Recently, there is a tendency to design the large full ships with lower-powered engine as the means for energy saving in ship's navigation at seas. Such a lower-powered ship is anticipated to show the different propulsive performance in rough seas, because the fluctuation of main engine load of lower powered ship is relatively large as compared with higher-powered ship is relatively large as compared with higher-powered ship. The fluctuation of propeller load is nonlinear at racing condition in waves. It is due to the variation of inflow velocity into propeller, the propeller immersion and the characteristics of engine governor. In this paper, the theoretical calculation of the nominal speed loss and the numerical simulation for the nonlinear load fluctuation of a model ship in rough seas are carried out. From the results of calculation, the following are discussed. (1) The ratio of nominal speed loss to the speed in still water. (2) The manoeuvring ability of ship and the operational ability of main engine in a seaway. (3) A method of the evaluation for the fluctuation of propeller torque and revolution on the engine characteristics plane. (4) The effect of engine governor characteristics on the propeller load fluctuation.

This paper proposes an evaluation to Target Factor Values of Port State Control Inspections(PSCITFV) using AHP because PSCITFV is very simple methode, This AHP is the more rational and objective methode than existing TFV methode. AHP is relative measurement., but, weights should be re-calculation whenever alternative plan add. To this solve, therefore, this paper, used an absolute measurement and involved an marine casualty factor in PSCITFV, that IMO go ahead with it., Also, accomplished with evaluation some ships for the practice.

When an automatic course-keeping is concerned as is quite popular in modern navigation the closed-loop steering system consists of autopilot device power unit (or telemotor unit) steering gear magnetic or gyro compass and ship dynamics. The consideration of irregular disturbances to ship dyanmics and a few non-linear mechanisms involved in the system inevitably or artificially are known to be very important in properly evaluating or analyzing the automatic steering system. In the present study the mathematical model of each element of an automatic steering system is derived which takes account of a fex non-linear mechanisms. PD(Proportional-Derivative) controller and low-pass filter with a weather adjustment are adopted to modelling the characteristics of an autopilot. The calculation method of imposing irregular disturbances to ship dynamics is proposed where irregular disturbances implying irregular wave and the fluctuating component of wind. For he evaluation of automatic steering system of ships in the open seas an important term "performance index" is introduced from the viewpoint of energy saving which derived from the concept of energy loss on ship propulsion. Finally the present methods are applied to two typical types of ship ; an ore carrier and a fishing boat. The various effects of linear and/or non-linear control constants of autopilot on propulsive energy loss are investigated to validate and clarify the present smulation technique.

The author has presented a new approach to design hydrofoil section shapes in consideration of viscous for marine propeller blades. In suction sides of propeller blades, the pressure distribution on hydrofoil sections in non-cavitating flow should be examined before the study of cavitation characteristics. Generally, the calculation results for hydrofoil conformal mapping method by which neglect viscous effects do not agree with experimental ones. Moreover, another papers reported that laminar separation bubble and transition played an important role on the cavitation inception. From these considerations, it is very important to study the viscous effects of the hydrofoil sections, especially the mechanism separation bubble and the apparent thickness of hydrofoil section. Therefore, the new design method of hydrofoil sections in consideration of viscous effects in comparison to the airfoil section should be studied. In designing the new hydrofoil section shapes, based on Eppler theory, the author tried to give the peak negative pressure in leading edge region for NACA airfoil in consideration of viscous effects without turbulent boundary layer separation as much as possible. The design method was verified from the fact that the boundary characteristics was improved and the lifts of new hydrofoils were slightly in creased in comparison to these of NACA 16-012 symmetrical, NACA 4412 non-symmetrical airfoils.

Growing concerns about air pollution have led to increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fuelled ships that have crankcases equipped with explosion relief valves to relieve excessive crankcase pressures and stop the flames emitted from the crankcase. The results of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based feasibility analysis of the crankcase relief valve flame arrester design conducted using ANSYS CFX V14 showed that the inlet and outlet relief valve temperatures differed by $350-700^{\circ}C$. An explosion test was performed based on European standard EN14797 to evaluate the flame transmission and mechanical integrity of the valve. No flame transmission from the pressure vessel to the exterior was detected, and the mechanical integrity of the valve was confirmed. Thus, the relief valve components were found to be safe from the viewpoint of fracture.
