Ships are capable of operating on residual fuel oil. Recently, various attempts have been made to meet environmental regulations and with ships operating on residual fuel oil. One way of fulfilling these requirements is by using fuel additives. Dispersants and fuel combustion improvers will have a positive effect on improving the combustion characteristics of the residual fuel oil. As such, this study examines fuel oils blended with additives by using fuel combustion analysis (FIA/FCA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results of FIA/FCA focuse only on the amount of work done by the fuel oil. Therefore, it is recommended in this study that a new method to evaluate the combustion efficiency via FIA/FCA processes be developed. The analysis with ROHR curve gained by FIA/FCA brought similar results with pressure trace curve therefore it can be said that new analysis method can be reliable. The TGA, analysis process is very sensitive to the evaporation of fuel, for example, which could be addressed. In the performance-related findings of this study, blended samples with additives containing iron compounds showed a greater improvement in early combustion characteristics than samples without additives.

We perform lacquer formation experiments with various combinations of marine fuel oils and lubricant oils. We also investigate the influences of base number (BN) in lubricant oil and sulfur content in fuel oil. A dissolution test with 10% dilute sulfuric acid and pull-off force test are accomplished to distinguish whether the residual layers are lacquering or not. The lacquering layers are dissolved by dilute sulfuric acid and have a strong pull-off force. Moreover, the calcium content detected in the residual layers is compared by energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). More calcium is detected in the lacquer layers than in other residual layers. Distillate fuels containing low sulfur levels are more prone to lacquering when mixed with lubricant oil with a high BN. On the other hand, residual fuels with a high sulfur content do not form lacquer. We investigate the effect of mixture volume ratio. The mixture with higher fuel oil content is more prone to generate lacquer. These experiments indicate that a lubricant with an appropriate BN should be used to prevent lacquer forming on the surfaces such as cylinder liners depending on the sulfur content of fuel oil.

The IMO has adopted emission standards that strictly restrict the use of bunker C oil for vessels. Accordingly, research and bunkering pilot projects for LNG fueled ships are being actively carried out, which is expected to substantially reduce environmental pollution. In this study, we have adopted the turret moored Floating LNG Bunkering Terminal (FLBT) designed to receive the LNG from LNGCs and to transfer LNG to LNG bunkering shuttles in ship to ship moored condition. Numerical simulations have been performed with a 1-year return period of wind, wave, and current. Damping values of numerical model were adjusted from the results of model tests to obtain accurate simulation results. The results confirm safe berthing operation during the 1-year return period of environmental condition. Safety depends on the direction of environment, with increasingly stable operation facilitated by the application of heading-control function of FLBT to avoid beam-sea conditions.

2020년 1월 1일부터 이행되는 연료유의 황 함유량 규제에 따른 대응 현황을 보면, 약 60% 이상의 선사들이 저유황유 사용을 고려하고 있다. 이처럼 높은 저유황유 선택에 따라 저유황유의 안정적인 공급에 대한 사전 검토 및 대비책을 통한 구체적인 방안이 요구되고 있으며, 저유황유의 품질 보증이 무엇보다도 중요한 사안이라 판단된다. 저유황유의 품질에 따라 예상되는 문제점을 미리 파악하고 이에 대한 적절한 대응 방안을 수립하여 선박 기관 운영에 차질이 없도록 대비하여야 한다. 그래서 선박에 공급되는 저유황유의 품질 특성 시 고려사항을 전달하고자 한다.

최근 해운시장에서 가장 이슈가 되는 주저는 해운시황 전망과 선사의 유동성 확보 대책으로 집약된다. 현재 해운시장에서는 해운시황 전망, 특히 운임회복 시기 문제가 가장 중심적인 이슈이다. 그리고 국내선사의 공통적인 문제인 유동성 확보 제, 이에 대한 해결책으로 거론되는 Primary CBO 발행과 패스트 트랙(Fast Track) 문제 등도 중요한 이슈로 거론되고 있다. 또한 선사 경영(수익성)에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 유가 문제, 이를 해결하기 위한 방편에서 선박 연료유 헷징과 공동구매도 관심을 물고 있는 문제가 있다. 유가 문제는 과거의 해운 불황기에 크게 문제가 되지 않았으나, 최근에는 해운기업의 경영난을 가장 크게 가중시키고 있다. 한편 해운시장에서 국적선사를 더욱 어렵게 하는 요인은 국내 대량화물의 외국적 선사의 참여문제이다. 석탄, 철광선, LNG 등의 대량화물은 국가경제발전에도 매우 중요한 전략물자임과 동시에 선사입장에서도 가장 중요한 화물임에도 외국적 선사의 수송이 근절되지 않고 계속 늘어나고 있다. 다음은 한국해양수산개발원 황진회 센터장이 발표한 "최근 해운시장 이슈와 대응"의 주요 내용을 요약 정리한 것이다.

In these days, oil cost is about 70 US dollars, but, on the day of July. 2008, it was over 140 US dollars. This coast led fisheries industry to increasement of operating coast and made public problems such as non-operation of fishing boats and lockout of the related factories. Thus this paper studies the way to use cheap fuel in order to reduce the fuel cost. Normally fishing boat use Marine Gas Oil. this study explains to use blended oil such as MF 60, 100, 180 instead of MGO.

As ship's fuel oil recently becomes viscous and the amount of sludge increases, many researches and studies are underway to process the sludge onboard the ship and to recycle it as a fuel for ship's boiler. Of many researches, especially ultrasonic emulsifier to break the particle of sludge into fine pieces is recognized as a most possible recycling device. In this regards, the author investigates the property change of sludge's temperature and pressure at the early stage of the study of ultrasonic emulsifier. This study can be used as a useful dora to determine the proper temperature and pressure to inject the processed sludge in the boiler injector and the results can also be comparable dora with the experimental data by ultrasonic emulsifier. In addition, the results will be a fundamental data to study the filtering efficiency of the sludge particle broken by temperature and pressure. It is expected that this study ultimately play a role to prevent marine oil pollution as the sludge is recycled onboard the ship and used as a fuel for boiler.

Against the backdrop of IMO's stricter environmental regulations due to global warming, Europe's Fit for 55 plan, and other initiatives, the establishment of infrastructure for the supply of environmentally friendly marine fuels and policy analysis are more critical than ever. This study comprehensively analyzes existing research and policies on the supply of environmentally friendly marine fuels, as well as trends in regulations, industry responses, and the current status of infrastructure for the supply of environmentally friendly fuels, to draw insightful conclusions. The results show that the establishment of infrastructure for the supply of environmentally friendly fuels is as important as the introduction of environmentally friendly ships, due to the strengthening of environmental regulations. LNG is a viable option in the short term, but a transition to carbon-free fuels is necessary in the long run. In this regard, a strategic approach is needed to focus support on fuels that are advantageous to produce, considering domestic industrial conditions from a long-term perspective. Therefore, the government should actively promote infrastructure development through measures such as supporting the development and supply of environmentally friendly fuels, improving regulations and providing incentives, attracting private investment, and strengthening international cooperation. This study is expected to serve as a valuable resource for setting policy directions for the transition to an environmentally friendly maritime industry. Future research will include a comparative analysis of the economic viability of environmentally friendly fuels and basic research on the selection of fuels that are advantageous to Korea.

This study aims to analyze the effect of reducing air pollutant emissions of the ship fuel oil sulfur content regulation policy, which has been gradually introduced for three years. In addition, the emission reduction effect of VSR and AMP was also analyzed. The analysis was conducted on NOx, CO, VOC, SOx, TSP, PM10, and PM2.5, which are provided by EEA, and the spatial scope of the analysis was conducted on Incheon Port, which is located in the metropolitan area of Korea and has a large ripple effect on air pollution. Three scenarios were constructed for analysis. Scenario 1: If there is no policy, Scenario 2: If only fuel oil sulfur content regulation was implemented, Scenario 3: The analysis was conducted by reflecting fuel oil sulfur content regulation, VSR, and AMP. As a result of the analysis, in the case of scenario 1, 4,801 tons, 4,932 tons, and 5,144 tons of air pollutants were emitted during the three-year period. In Scenario 2, 4,219 tons, 4,152 tons, and 3,989 tons were discharged, and in Scenario 3, 4,198 tons, 4,138 tons, and 3,973 tons were discharged. The findings of this study are anticipated to be applied as fundamental research in port air environment management and Incheon Metropolitan City air management.
