Recently, many ships such as VLCCs, dangerous cargo ships, high speed ferry boats are visiting Yeosu ${\cdot}$ Gwangyang harbor. The traffic volume of the year 2003 has increased as many as 2.5 times of 1988. However there is no suitable ship's routeing system which takes account of today's traffic situations in this area. This study aims at the setting of hazardous factors to mitigate the danger to vessels in Yeosu ${\cdot}$ Gwangyang bay and to secure the safety of maritime environment.

The Maritime Safety Act established restrictions for the passage of oil tankers, prohibiting vessesl carrying more than 1,500 kiloliters of oil or 1,500 tons of a hazardous liquid substance. Prohibited vessels that do not satisfy the restrictions are allowed to enter and depart from a nearby port from the outer sea area to minimize the time and distance the oil tanker must navigate in the prohibited area. Therefore, such regulation should not be construed as referring to inshore traffic. In this study, the traffic volume of coastal tankers that do not use the approaching channels for specific sea areas near Yeosu and Gwangyang Port was analyzed, and the cargo loads of these ships were investigated. The results of this study should be used to allow tankers to minimize the time and distance of navigation in prohibited areas. According to the survey, 16 vessels, 51.6 % of the 31 vessels using inshore traffic included in the study, were loaded with more than 1,500 tons of cargo. This is not appropriate according to the legislation for oil tanker passage. Therefore, in this study, sea routes have been proposed that connect with the approaching channels of specific sea areas, from the outer sea areas of restricted passages. Regulations have also been proposed for the entry and departure of oil tankers around Yeosu and Gwangyang Port.

The domestic law establishes a sea trial prohibited area and stipulates that a sea trial is prohibited in this area. However, depending on the user, the term is used interchangeably with on-board test after repaired, In particular, ships undergoing test called a sea trial after remodeling and repairing ships at repair shipyards do not comply with these regulations. By this study, we would like to look at the relevant laws and regulations to see if these ships can be interpreted as sea trial, and suggest the necessity of managing repaired test ships with risks comparable to those of sea trial ships.

A framework of using and integrating GIS and OR tools for determining the best site selection has been provided. In this research, we demonstrated that both the P-Median heuristic method and MIP method can be successfully applied to the optimum site selection problem of oil tank location selection. Furthermore, the results identified by both approaches are identical. To accomplish this, both GIS road and maritime networks have been constructed and combined to calculated the minimum distance matrix, which is required by both approaches. After the application to the Korean peninsula, the facility locations chosen are Kunsan, Yosu, Busan, and Okgye for each district. As has been shown, the power of GIS and both algorithm have been demonstrated throughout the research and further similar research can also be conducted using the power of GIS and Operations Research tools.

광양만의 해수교환은 주로 여수해만을 통해 이루어지고, 만의 동측에는 노량수로를 통해 진주만으로의 해수교환이 일어나고 있으며, 만의 북측에는 섬진강을 끼고 있다. 광양항 건설 전 만내의 수심은 약 10 m 이내로 얕았으며, 만의 입구인 여수해만과 노량수로에서의 수심은 약 20 m 이상이었다. 광양만은 1982년 광양제철소의 건설을 시점으로 하여 광양항의 확장 개발, 폐기물처리장 건설 등으로 인한 매립이 진행되었다. 특히, 섬진강 하구는 광양만 개발 전에는 넓은 조간대 퇴적층의 발달로 다양한 생태계환경을 유지하고 있었으나, 광양항 건설 및 하구에서 모래 준설 등으로 인해 근래에 와서는 해수의 역류가 심각한 상태이다. 1982년 광양제철소 건설이후 계속적으로 광양만을 개발함으로써 해양환경에 큰 변화가 발생하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 광양만 개발 전·후의 조석 및 해수유동의 변화특성을 해석하기 위해 조석 및 조류에 대한 현장관측과 3차원 해수유동 수치모형실험을 수행한 후 남해도를 둘러싸고 있는 광양만, 진주만 등의 조석 및 조류의 변동특성을 해석하였다. 광양만 개발 전·후의 해수유동의 변동특성을 해석하기 위해 김 등(1999)에 의해 개발된 3차원 layer·level 혼성 해수유동 모델을 광양만, 진주만을 포함하는 남해도 주변해역에 적용하여 30일간의 수치계산결과를 이용하여 해수유동의 변동특성을 해석하였다. 모델에서 격자간격은 동서-남북방향 동일하게 200 m, 시간간격은 20 sec, 계산영역은 동서방향으로 52 km, 남북방향으로 65 km인 260×325 격자체계로 구성 운영하였다. 외해 개방경계에서 조위는 수로국에서 관측한 조위와 본 연구에서 관측한 조위를 보간하여 사용하였다. 광양만 개발전·후의 조류의 변동특성을 수치해석한 결과 여수해만에서는 광만만 개발전이 개발 후보다 유속이 강하게 나타났으나, 노량수로에서는 개발 후가 개발전보다 유속이 훨씬 강하게 나타났다. 이와 같은 현상은 광양만 개발로 광양만으로 유입되는 조량이 감소함으로 인해 여수해만에서는 유속이 감소한 것으로 생각된다. 노량수로에서 개발 후가 개발전보다 유속이 증가한 것은 여수해만을 통해 유입한 해수가 개발 후에는 광양만의 해수면적 감소로 광양만의 서측으로 유입하는 조량이 감소한 반면에 광양만의 북측(섬진강 하구) 또는 동측(노량수로)으로 유입하는 조량이 많기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

A numerical simulations were performed to investigate the storm surge during the passage of Typhoon Maemi on the coast of Busan. The typhoon landed on the southern coasts of Korean Peninsula at 21:00, September 12, 2003 with a central pressure of 950 hPa, and the typhoon resulted on the worst coastal disaster on the coast of Busan in the last decades. Observed storm surges at Busan, Yeosu, Tongyoung, Masan, Jeju and Seogwipo harbors during the passage of the typhoon were compared with the computed data. The simulated storm surge time series were in good agreement with the observations. The simulated peak storm surges were estimated to be 230 cm at Masan harbor, 200 cm at Yeosu harbor and Tongyoung harbor, and 75 cm at Busan harbor. The computed storm surges along the east coast of Busan measure 52 to 55 cm, exhibiting a gradual reduction in surge height as one moves further from the coast of Busan. Therefore, coastal inundation due to the storm surge in the semi-enclosed bay can induce great disasters, and the simulated results can be used as the important data to reduce the impact of a typhoon-induced coastal disaster in the future.

This study fist raises the following research question. How does the port congestion affect port operational efficiency? To answer the question, this study adopts slacks based measure data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model to analyze the efficiency of port considering the congestion. As a result of the DEA-CCR(Chanres, Cooper and Rhodes) model, both Busan(2011) and Ulsan(2011) are the most efficient decision making units(DMUs). As a result of the DEA-BCC(Banker, Chanrnes, and Cooper) model, Busan(2011), Ulsan(2011), Ulsan(2012), Busan(2012), and Yeosu Gwangyang(2012) are the most efficient DMUs. As a result of SBM-DEA model, Ulsan(2012), Busan(2011), Busan(2012), Incheon(2011), and Ulsan(2011) are the most efficient DMUs considering the port congestion. The result of DEA-CCR BCC model is not identical with the result of SBM-DEA model analysis. It means the port congestion does less affect the port operational efficiency. Should the number of the vessels with the port congestion minimize, Incheon and Yeosu Gwangyang port could save lots of the port congestion cost for a total of three years.

Kwangyang Yeosu Port is consisted of narrow strait and inclosed harbor and also where is frequently occurred maritime pollution accidents at seas bemuse of a lot of sea traffics for major oil refining company including Yeocheon National Complex. In the paper, we suggest methods to quickly remove the pollutants at seas form maritime pollution accidents in kwangyang Yeosu Port and also protect environmental life and property.

During the traditional periods when there were exchanges among Korea, China and Japan based on ocean currents or seasonal winds, the southwestern coastal areas including Yeosu held an important position since the route would not have been complete without them. Armed with its advantages including the marine environment, the Yeosu area in the southwestern coast on the Korean Peninsula engage in active maritime exchanges and activities as a base along the sea route since the Neolithic or Bronze Age. It was the same later when Baekje and Gaya had exchanges with China and Japan, when Unified Silla had exchanges with China, and when Goryeo had exchanges with China and Japan. In Joseon, the Yeosu area gained fame as a marine defense base. In short, the Yeosu area in the southwestern coast on the Korean Peninsula during the traditional periods not only engage in active maritime exchanges and activities, but also serve as an important base that could not be left out in the maritime history of East Asia.
