Purpose: Developing a roofed Pechan prism type scope with long eye relief. Methods: To reduce the overall length and to lengthen the eye relief of scope, the objective part was designed by adopting the roofed Pechan prism and also the eyepiece part was designed by adopting the field lens with minus refractive power in front of reticle, respectively. Finally, by integrating above two parts, the roofed Pechan prism type scope with 90 mm eye relief was developed. Results: The characteristics of the developed and fabricated scope with 90 mm eye relief by integrating the objective part with the roofed Pechan prism and the eyepiece part with minus refractive power had the magnification of $+3.0{\times}$, the length from the 1st lens to the last lens of about 121 mm, the barrel diameter of 28 mm, and the effective objective-diameter of 17 mm. Also it was found that the line width of resolution was about 900 cycles/rad at the 50% MTF value criterion. Conclusions: We could design and manufacture the roofed Pechan prism type scope with 90 mm eye relief, the characteristics of which had the magnification of $3.0{\times}$, the MTF above 50% at 900 cycles/rad, and the length from the 1st lens to the last lens of about 121 mm.

Port service level is a metric of competitiveness among ports for the operating/managing bodies such as the terminal operation company (TOC), Port Authority, or the government, and is used as an important indicator for shipping companies and freight haulers when selecting a port. Considering the importance of metrics, we developed software to objectively define and manage six important service indicators exclusive to container and bulk terminals including: berth occupancy rate, ship's waiting ratio, berth throughput, number of berths, average number of vessels waiting, and average waiting time. We computed the six service indicators utilizing berth 1 through berth 5 in the container terminals and berth 1 through berth 4 in the bulk terminals. The software model allows easy computation of expected ship's waiting ratio over berth occupancy rate, berth throughput, counts of berth, average number of vessels waiting and average waiting time. Further, the software allows prediction of yearly throughput by utilizing a ship's waiting ratio and other productivity indicators and making calculations based on arrival patterns of ship traffic. As a result, a TOC is able to make strategic decisions on the trade-offs in the optimal operating level of the facility with better predictors of the service factors (ship's waiting ratio) and productivity factors (yearly throughput). Successful implementation of the software would attract more shipping companies and shippers and maximize TOC profits.

Recently, air pollution from the marine ports has become a serious issue all over the world. Because marine trade accounts for 99.7% of Korea's trade, efforts are required to recognize the level of port pollution and establish environmental policies. This study estimates air pollution emitted during the berthing process in the Gwangyang and Ulsan ports. Data on ship activity and characteristics are collected and reasonable methodologies and factors from EEA and EPA are adopted. The results show that 253.09 tons of CO, 1986.61 tons of NOx, 684.01 tons of SOx, 47.88 tons of $PM_{10}$, and 44.69 tons of $PM_{2.5}$ are emitted at the Gwangyang port. Further, the Ulsan port emitted 212.28 tons of CO, 1712.54 tons of NOx, 573.72 tons of SOx, 40.16 tons of $PM_{10}$, and 37.48 tons of $PM_{2.5}$. A stage-by-stage plan for installing AMP infrastructure is suggested as part of a green port policy. This research provides the current pollution status and contributes guidelines for the direction of future policy.

Harbor floating pier is a structure in which one or several floating vessels are connected to have a port function so that ships can be bordered regardless of tide level in places where differences between tidal rocks are severe. There are 233 harbor floating piers in Korea, and 27.5% of harbor floating pier are over 30 years old. Harbor floating piers older than 30 years are potentially at high risk of accidents. However, there is no clear standard for disposal or sale of aging harbor floating pier, and the management regulations on the timing of maintenance inspection and repair are ambiguous. In this study, the AHP model was designed by classifying the problems and improvement factors of harbor floating pier facility operation through interviews with port managers and existing literature studies. The AHP analysis showed that the relative importance of the evaluation factors of the higher class was in the order of improvement of the legal system, improvement of operational management and technical improvement. This study can be used as basic data for improving the operation of Korea harbor floating pier facilities.

In 4th Industrial Revolution, technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and Big data are closely related to the maritime industry, which led to the birth of autonomous vessels. Due to the technical characteristics of the current vessel, the speed cannot be suddenly lowered, so complex communication such as the help of a tug boat, boarding of a pilot, and control of the vessel at the onshore control center is required to berth at the port. In this study, clustering analysis was used to resolve how to establish control criteria for vessels to enter port when autonomous vessels are operating. K-Means clustering was used to quantitatively stage the arrival pattern based on the accumulated AIS(Automatic Identification System) data of the incoming vessel, and the arrival phase using SOG(Speed over Ground), COG(Course over Ground), and ROT(Rate of Turn) Was divided into six phase.

Busan New Port, under construction aiming for the hub of Northeast Asia and Partly in operation, had damaged up to 48 billion Won due to Typhoon 'maemi' in 2003. The present criteria of domestic harbor design only describes about the critical wave height with respect to the size of vessel for harbor tranquility. The berth operation ratio which represents the annual available berthing days is depending on the efficiency of cargo handling work and this depends on the motion of the moored vessel due to the wave action and the characteristics of cargo gears. The motion of moored vessel might be related not only to the wave height but also to wave period. Furthermore, the berth operation ratio relies on external forces such as currents and winds, including the characteristics of mooring system and the specification of the moored vessel. In this study we only deal with berth operation ratio in normal sea state, considering wave and current by measured data and numerical calculation. Especially we tried to evaluate the berth operation ratio for each berth adopting the variation of dredging and reclamation plan and the change of wave environment during the process of the new port construction. For better understanding and analysis of wave transformation process, we applied the steady state spectral wave model and extended mild-slope wave model to the related site. This study summarizes comparisons of harbor responses predicted by two numerical predictions obtained at Busan New port site. Field and numerical model analysis was conducted for the original port plan and the final corrected plan.

It includes the considerable concentration and dangerousness as the peculiar work of a pilot and dock-master to berthing/deberthing the big object as for the ship within the port or the ship yard. A tug utilization is getting increased in this berthing/deberthing work and the own ship is affected a lot by external force due to moving with low advance speed. In this study, we constructed the 2 dimension virtual system which can conduct the berthing/deberthing manoeuvring work by using mainly tugs in a external force, particularly strong wind. Also, propose objective standard that could estimate the degree of manoeuvring difficulty, and conducted simulation experiment for this. we analyzed correlations between the subjective estimation which is described numerically the decreased dangerousness and the objective index which is related to the main parameter regarding manoeuvring by using this simulator from the result of conducting simulation experiment. And then we discussed the estimation technique of manoeuvring difficulty.

The berthing/deberthing manoeuvring operation is the peculiar work owned to the marine pilot and the dock master. So, in the port or the shipyard, the berthing/deberthing manoeuvring operation requires considerable concentration and bears dangerousness. In that situation, a tug utilization is getting increased and the external forces have an effect on the own ship because of moving with low advance speed. In this study, we constructed the 2-dimensional virtual ship manoeuvring simulator system with which we can carry out the berthing/deberthing manoeuvring operation by using tugs in the external forces such as strong wind. And then, we propose the objective indexes by which the degree of manoeuvring difficulty evaluated. Using the present system, we carry out manoeuvring simulation experiment in order to grasp correlation between the objective indexes proposed here and the def{ree of manoeuvring difficulty felt by operator. Lastly, we discuss the evaluation technique of manoeuvring difficulty.

해양환경용 선박재료는 전기화학적인 부식을 발생시키는 염소이온($Cl^-$)이 다량 포함된 부식 환경에 장기간 노출되어 있어 부식에 대해 취약하다. 따라서 우수한 내식성 및 내침식성을 가진 재료를 선정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 알루미늄 합금은 충분한 강도와 부동태 피막 형성으로 인해 내식성이 우수하여 해양환경용 선박 재료로서 널리 이용되고 있으며, 이에 따른 부식 특성에 관한 연구도 활발히 이뤄지고 있다. 그러나 선박에서는 부식에 의한 손상뿐만 아니라 전식에 의한 부식 손상도 발생할 수 있다. 특히 선미 부분은 프로펠러의 동합금과 알루미늄 합금의 이종금속 간 전위차에 의한 전식이 발생하여 선체의 다른 부위에 비해 부식이 더 심하게 진행될 수도 있다. 또한 전식은 해안 부두에 접안된 선박의 용접 시미주전류(stray current)에 의한 부식손상이 발생할 수 있으나 이에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 해양환경에서의 전식을 인위적으로 모사할 수 있는 부식 정전류 시험법을 이용하여 다양한 크기의 전식 손상을 유발시켰으며, 해양환경 하에서 선박재료로 주로 사용되는 알루미늄 합금인 Al5083-H321, Al5052-O, Al6061-T6에 대한 전식 특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 실험 방법으로 작동전극은 각 재료의 시험편을 $2cm{\times}2cm$ 으로 절단하여 sand paper # 2000 번까지 연마 후 아세톤과 증류수로 세척하고 건조하였으며, 제작된 시험편은 자체 제작한 홀더를 이용하여 $1cm^2$만 노출시킨 후 정전류 가속 실험을 실시하였다. 기준전극은 은/염화은(Ag/AgCl) 전극을, 대응전극은 백금(Pt) 전극을 사용하였다. 정전류 가속 조건은 $0.001mA/cm^2$, $0.1mA/cm^2$, $1mA/cm^2$, $5mA/cm^2$, $10mA/cm^2$의 전류 밀도를 천연해수에서 30분간 인가하였다. 각 재료에 대한 전식 특성은 실험 전후의 무게 감소량으로 전식의 저항 특성을 확인하였다. 그리고 3D 현미경으로 표면 손상 경향과 깊이를 측정하였으며, 주사전자현미경 (SEM)을 통해 표면 형상을 미시적으로 관찰하였다. 부식 정전류 시험 결과 모든 시편에서 $0.01mA/cm^2$에서 미세한 국부적인 부식이 일어났으며, 전류밀도가 증가할수록 표면 전반에 부식이 진행되고 성장하였다. 그리고 모든 인가 전류밀도의 조건에서 Al6061-T6가 5000계열(Al5083-H321, Al5052-O)보다 더 우수한 내식성을 나타났다.
