Pumps arre used extensively for transporting fluid in many ships. However, the present state of pumps used in the large merchant ships has not been studied. In this paper, we have reported the general description of the operating pumps according to the different ship types(Bulk, Container, Car-Carrier, Tanker, LNG). Moreover, the pump total powers are compared with the main engine Normal Continuous Rating power and the pump total weights are also compared with the ship deadweight.

The International Maritime Organization has developed the Energy Efficiency Design Index, an index related to carbon dioxide emissions, to enforce regulations on newly built ships. In this study, a new type of energy-saving device called the ring stator was used for 158k crude oil carriers, whose hull form was developed as a very thin after-body hull to reduce the resistance by delaying separation. The Energy-Saving Device (ESD) particularly involving the duct, is not adapted to the thin-after body hull form-like container ship. This new ring stator was developed considering these characteristics. A parametric study was conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis using the Star-CCM+ program, and approximately 3.4 % improvement in propulsion efficiency was achieved. Further optimization investigations and experimental studies should be conducted in the future.

This study analyzes the major factors affecting the freight rates of Very Large Crude-Oil Carriers (VLCC) using co-integration and vector error correction models (VECM). Particularly, we estimate the long-term equilibrium function that determines the VLCC freight rate by conducting difference conversion. In the VECM regression analysis, the error term converges toward long-term balance irrespective of whether the previous period's freight rate is bigger or smaller than the long-term equilibrium rate. Thus, even if the current rate is different from the long-term rate, it eventually converges to the long-term balance irrespective of a boom or recession. This study follows Ko and Ahn (2018), which analyzed the factors affecting the chemical carrier freight rate and was published in the Journal of Shipping and Logistics (Vol. 34, No. 2). It is expected that an academic comparison of the results of each study will be possible if further research is conducted on other vessel types, such as container ships and dry cargo vessels.

In adjacent sea areas of Yeosu, there are many crossing traffics between eastbound and westbound vessels. Traffic congestion is increasing in sea area of east Sori island and near Yokji Island. In this research, we established TSS near Yeokmando Areas and new recommended route which connected to Seopdo west recommended route to reduce meeting traffic between eastbound vessels and westbound vessels.

선박 거주구는 승무원 및 여객들이 상주하는 곳으로서 대형 상선의 경우 주선체 상부에 건물형태의 높은 구조이므로, 선박의 불균형력과 프로펠러 기진력으로 인해 주 선체와 연성되어 진동이 발생한다. 대형상선의 거주구는 육상구조물과는 달리 주선체와 마찬가지로 강성은 일정하나 화물적재량의 변화에 따라 선박 거주구의 유효질량이 변화함으로 가변적인 진동특성을 갖는 구조물 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 가변 동특성을 갖는 대형상선의 거주구 진동을 수동형 및 능동형 흡진장치를 통하여 제어할 경우 거주구의 고유진동수 변화에 따른 제어성능의 변화를 반영할 수 있으면서도 제어성능과 안정성이 뛰어난 강건제어 시스템의 설계 가능성을 수치 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하고자 하였다. 적용대상은 진동문제가 많이 발생하는 컨테이너 운반선과 초대형 원유운반선의 거주구 진동특성을 3차원 유한 요소법을 이용하여 검토하고, 실험적인 방법으로는 거주구 형태의 구조물의 질량변화에 대한 동조형 흡진기의 제어성능을 시험과 선형이차 진동제어 장치의 진동제어성능 실험결과를 소개하고자 한다.

A study was conducted to investigate the propeller singing place of an 86, 000 ton Deadweight Crude Oil Tanker. In preliminary study, proper use of finite element analysis was verified by comparing with the result of hammering test in the air. Then the finite element analysis was carried out for the blade in the water and compared with the noise measurement during sea trial, which enabled to confirm the local resonances of blade structure. Result of the study showed that the singing occurred most probably at trailing edges on the blade tip over 95% of propeller diameter. Owing to edge cutting of a successfoul remdial action, the singing excitation forces seemed to be reduced whereas the vibration characteristics of the blade was not changed.

It is well known that simulation study in the preliminary design stage of harbors or berths is of great use, since it can provide helpful informations to the designer from the view point of ship navigations. In this paper, a brief review is made in the safety assessment of ship navigation for a 320,000 DWT VLCC entering Yecocheon harbor area, which is carried out by shiphandling simulator system. The geographic data base for the harbor as well as the mathematical models of the ship and environmental effects are designed and developed. Based in the on-site inspections and interviews with pilots in Yeocheon area, basic maneuvering plans and consistence with real operation conditions. Berthing and deberthing maneuvering simulations as well as approaching and departing simulations are carried out by 3 experienced navigators according to the maneuvering plans and environmental scenarios. The simulation results are analysed in various ways to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative maneuvering difficulties and thereby to assess the safety of ship navigation in that area.
