In A bridge which connects Mokpo North Harbor and Com Island is going to be constructed until 2009. For the bridges being built in the navigable water area, it is indispensible to carry out vessel traffic safety assessment from the viewpoint of shiphandlers, however, there exist no specific guidelines for the necessary conditions whim the bridge designers can rely on. In this paper, traffic safety assessment procedures for the layout of the bridge is briefly introduced, and the conditions whim should be taken into account at the initial design stage of the bridge is surveyed. For the safety assessment of the bridge design, ship navigation simulations, such as RTS(real time simulation} and FTS(fast time simulation), are carried out, the results of which are statistically analysed to estimate the probability of collision between the ship and the pier of the bridge.

Many electric power cables span the sea in Korean archipelago. Lots of shipping routes were established between the islands in the same area and ships frequently sail under the cable which cross the seas. Sometimes electric power cables were accidently broken by sailing ships and catastrophic damage of island industry followed thereby. If navigators have detailed knowledge about the height of electric power cable, the ship's sailing condition will be greatly improved. But at the present time, navigators have limited data about the electric power cable. Those are the horizontal distance between pylons, the height of pylons and minimum height of electric power cable. This study introduced the calculating methodology to find out the height of cable at any position between pylons. The ship's tracks were recorded and traffic safety was assessed by statistical method in relation to cable height.

최근 선박의 자율운항기술이 활발하게 연구되어 오면서, 경로추종 제어 및 충돌회피 등의 자율운항 기술 연구가 많이 진행되고 있으며 그에 따른 시뮬레이션과 실해역 시험 등도 활발하게 수행되고 있다. 이러한 자율운항기술 중 본 연구에서는 AUV(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) 진회수 시 모함에 활용되며 쌍동선형을 갖는 쌍동형 무인수상선을 대상으로 경로추종 제어에 대한 실해역 시험을 수행한 내용을 소개한다. 대상선인 쌍동형 무인수상선은 배수량이 약 10ton, 최대속도 10knots를 기준으로 설계된 선형이며 Sail drive 타입의 쌍축 추진기를 탑재하고 있으며 Fig. 1에 나타내었다. 실해역 시험은 경기도 화성시에 위치한 제부마리나 전면 해역에서 여러 속도에 대해 Fig. 2의 경로(빨간색)를 활용하여 수행되었다. 해당 경로는 변침각이 45도까지 이루어져 있다. 경로추종 제어 알고리즘은 목표경유점을 향하기 위해 선수각을 제어하는 부분과 목표속도로 추진하기 위해 속도를 제어하는 부분으로 나뉘어져 있다. 선수각 제어 시 경로와 무인선과의 위치 오차를 줄이는 방향으로 선수각이 향할 수 있도록 알고리즘이 설계되었다. 속도 제어의 경우 RPM 별로 실제 속도를 계측하여 데이터화 한 후, 실제 속도가 명령 속도와 다를 경우 RPM을 가감하여 명령 속도로 추진하기 위해 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. Fig. 2에서 파란색 선은 설계한 알고리즘을 활용하여 경로추종 제어를 한 결과의 궤적을 보여준다.

Ship hydrodynamics in the confined waterways is challenging. When a ship is maneuvering in confined waterways, the hydrodynamic behavior may vary significantly because of the hydrodynamic interaction between the bottom of the ship hull and the seabed, or so-called shallow water effects. Thus, an accurate prediction of shallow water and bank effects is essential to minimizing the risk of the collision and the grounding of the ships. The hydrodynamic derivatives measured by the virtual captive model test provide a path to predicting the change in ship maneuverability. This paper presents a numerical simulation of captive model tests to predict the maneuverability of a ship in confined waterways. Also, straight and zig-zag simulation were conducted to predict the trajectory of a ship maneuvering in confined waterways. The results showed that the asymmetric flow around a ship induced by vicinity of banks causes pressure differences between the port and starboard sides and the trajectory of a ship maneuvering in confined waterways.

As a preliminary study of enter or leaving traffic patterns of the Korea main port, port Management Information System (Port-MIS) data was used to check the volume of vessels entering and leaving the port of Busan, and three consecutive days from each seasons were selected for study. Selected 12-day General Information Center on Maritime Safety & Security (GICOMS) data was also used to analyze the traffic pattern in the main traffic lane of Busan port for dangerous goods carrier. Also, the distance between dangerous goods carriers and Oryukdo breakwater of east breakwater in the main traffic lane was analyzed. Collision probability was estimated using the cumulative probability distribution function of the normal distribution for the maritime traffic safety audit scheme based on the assumption that a ship's trajectory has a normal distribution for a section of the route. However, in case of entry or leaving thorough the Oryukdo breakwater and entry thorough the east breakwater, ship's sailing trajectories were revealed not to follow a normal distribution via regularity testing using a KS-test and SW-test. Especially in the north port, the tendency of the right side of the ship to pass was remarkable. It is desirable to develop a traffic model suitable for the characteristics of the port rather than to apply general traffic theories, and to apply this model to a maritime traffic safety diagnosis, so further research is needed.

The design and construction of special purpose vessels such as drillship and shuttle tankers have been increased. These vessels install the DPS(dynamic positioning systems) to maintain the position and heading for long-time operation. This paper deals with the experimental method for model-based DP system and the control theory and filter algorithms. In this experiment, the length of model ship is 4 meters and it has three thrusters to maintain the position. The ability of tracking along the given course and keeping of heading in waves are confirmed. For the calculation of thruster input the PID control theory are adopted and the effects of PID gain were investigated. To estimate the low frequency motions Kalman filter and digital filter were used and their effects were investigated.

During the period of every summer to early autumn seasons, ships have been wrecked or grounded from effect of a typhoon in the water areas around Korean Peninsular. Typhoon Maemi. which brushed South Korea in September 12-13, 2003, left at least 110 dead or missing, knocking down building. smashing ships and triggering floods that forced about 25,000 to flee from their homes. In this work. records .of marine accidents caused by a typhoon are investigated for the period from 1962-2002. The distribution is also compared with the trajectories of typhoons, passed during the 1990-2003. In addition to that, attack frequency of typhoon and number of marine accidents is the highest in August

This study develops a control algorithm on berthing/unberthing system using a joystick for ships with thrusters and a rudder. A nonlinear mathematical model for low speed maneuvering of typical container ships is used to develop a MIMO(multi-input multi-output) nonlinear control algorithm for velocity feedback joystick control. Also a virtual HILS(hardware in the loop simulation) software program for berthing/unberthing is developed to test the performance of the nonlinear and a PID control algorithm. The program is developed using LabWindow/CVI, and a user can see current position and desired trajectory of ship in a monitor, then he can control forward and yaw velocities of a ship using a joystick. The simulation results show that the nonlinear mfd the PID controller have superior performance over a simple open loop joystick control algorithm.

With an increase in the size and power rate of ship, the stern tube bearing has become subject to severer operation conditions. Particularly it is expected to be exposed to extremely so severe lubrication conditions during low rotational operation that there is strong demand for clarifying the oil film characteristics of the stern tube bearing at the design stage with accuracy. So in this study, we conducted an analysis of the stern tube bearing characteristics taking arbitrary three-dimensional deflection of the shaft into consideration.
