The characteristics of ship induced waves caused by navigation become widely different from both ship's speed and water depth condition. The ship induced waves specially generated in coastwise routes frequently give rise to call unforeseen danger for swimmers and small boats as well as shoreline erosion or sea wall destruction in coastal zones. The main concern of ship induced wave study until now is either how to reduce ship resistance or how to manoeuvre the ship safely under a constant water depth in the view point of shipbuilding engineers. Moreover, due to the trends for appearance of the high speed ships at the shallow coastal water, we are confronted with the danger of damages from those ship induced waves. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the development of ship induced waves and the influence of their deformation effects according to its propagation ray. In present study, in order to predict the development of the ship induced waves and their propagation under the conditions of complicate and variable shallow water depth with varying ship's speed, we constructed a computer model using Boussinesq equation with a fixed coordinate system and verified the model results by comparison with experimental results. Additionally, the model was applied under the variable water depth based on actual passage and we then confirmed the importance of the variable water depth consideration.

2010년 천리안위성의 성공적인 발사에 따라 인공위성의 활용에 대한 기대가 커지고 있다. 천리안 해양관측위성(GOCI)이외에 아리랑 2호가 현재 운용중인 우리나라 위성들이다. 가까운 시기에 아리랑 5호(2011년 말), 아리랑 3호(2012년), 아리랑 3A호(2013년)가 발사될 예정이다. 즉, 해양적용을 위한 위성환경은 이제부터 준비되고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 대외적으로 보면, 인공위성 자원은 아주 많다. 문제는 이와 같은 자원을 어떻게 활용할 것인가 인데 이의 활용 기술 개발적 측면에서는 많이 소홀한 것이 사실이다. 전세계적으로 이 시스템 개발을 위한 치열한 경쟁이 진행 중에 있다. 이미 소말리아 주변 감시체계는 많은 부분을 위성에 의지하고 있다. 우리나라에서 최초로 위성활용 가능성을 보여준 사건이 허베이스피리트호 원유유출 사고이다. 이 사고는 2007년 12월7일 아침 7시6분경 서해안 만리포 북서쪽 10km 해상에서 크레인을 적재한 1만1800t급 바지선이 정박 중인 홍콩 선적 유조선 허베이 스피리트호(14만6000t급)와 부딪치면서 발생했다. 이와 같은 기름 유출 사고의 경우, 유출 범위를 정확하게 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 거의 준비된 상태가 아님에도 불구하고 12월 8일 아침 최초로 유출된 기름을 모습을 보여주는 위성이미지(광학위성)가 얻어졌다. 하지만 이와 같은 자료가 관련 전문가가 이용할 수 있기까지 많은 시간이 소용되었고, 이 정보를 전달할 수 있는 방법도 없었다. 사실 단순한 이미지가 아니라 지리정보체계를 가진 오염정보를 제공할 방법도 준비도 되어 있지 못한 상황이었다. 본 발표를 통하여, 허베이스피리트호 사고뿐만 아니라, 2011년 6월부터 수개월간 지속된 발해만 오염사고 적용 등 다양한 사례 소개를 하고, 이를 기반으로 해양경찰청에서 업무활용을 위한 방안을 제시한다. 먼저, 해경청의 주요 임무인, 경비, 수색구조, 오염대응 분야별로 현황 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 국외사례에 대한 조사를 한 후, 최종 인공위성 원격탐사기술의 해경청 도입방안에 대한 설계를 실시하였다. 국제적으로 인공위성을 이용한 해양 경비, 수색구조, 오염 모니터링기술 개발이 이루어지고 있으며, 유럽 국가는 시범도입을 진행 중에 있다. 유럽해사안전국(EMSA)은 해양경비 및 수색구조를 위한 선박통항 및 보고 서비스와 오염대비대응(Pollution Preparedness and Response, PPR) 위성 서비스를 회원국에 제공하고 있다. 해양경찰청 임무 수행뿐만 아니라, 해양영토 관리적 측면에서 첨단 위성장비 활용, 선진국형 해상경비 패러다임의 전환 필요성이 크다고 할 수 있다.

Butyltin compounds (BTs) were determined in surface sediment samples from Ulsan Bay in 2009 and 2011, to assess the contamination status and the effectiveness of tributylin (TBT) restriction of Korea. Dibutyltin and TBT concentrations in sediments in 2011 ranged from 19.5 to 980 and 14.2 to 1204 ng Sn $g^{-1}$ dry weight, respectively. The highest TBT concentration was found in a big shipyard complex and the next highest was found in harbor, suggesting that harbor and shipyard activities are a major contamination source of TBT in Ulsan Bay. Concentrations of BTs in Ulsan Bay sediments were significantly lower in 2009 and 2011 than that in 2003 survey previously reported, probably as a consequence of the legislative action in Korea. However, TBT concentrations in sediments still exceeded ecotoxicological values. Therefore, it will be important to monitor and reduce TBT contamination in sediments until the levels fall well below ecotoxicological levels.

This study suggests surface wave communication, which uses a metal surface as a medium, to provide wireless communication in the extreme environment due to surrounding metal materials on vessels. The test was conducted on a G/T 265 tons tug boat to confirm the possibility of surface wave communication between a bridge and each designated space in the ship. As a result, the transmission speed was 13Mbps on average. In a test case of the bridge via the engine room, the transmission speed was 4.3Mbps on engine running and 1.2Mbps on sailing. It overcame this by partially changing the equipment installation location. Surface wave communication in bow storage, a fully enclosed space, had 8Mbps better transmission speed than wireless communication; this confirmed the superiority of surface wave communication in confined spaces on a vessel. Additional surface wave generators were designed and applied to resolve the paint issue. It is expected to use surface wave communication to implement the new wireless solution for Maritime-IoT system on vessels.

In recent years, the need for ship-to-ship has emerged around the world as the volume of tanker carriers increases. In the case of STS mooring, a safety review should be carried out on other standards since the characteristics are different from the mooring at a typical wharf. However, there is no separate standard about STS in Korea. Therefore, in this study, STS mooring simulation and sensitivity analysis were performed using OPTIMOOR program, a commercial numerical analysis program, to identify STS mooring characteristics. The target sea area is modeled at D2 anchorage of Yeosu Port in Korea, and modeling of the target ship is selected as the case of VLCC-VLCC. Based on this, we tried to establish the standard for STS mooring safety evaluation. Numerical simulation results show that the STS mooring changes depending on the ship load condition, weather condition(wave period and wave height), encounter angle and pre-tension of mooring line. In addition, a risk matrix was created to set the safe external force range in the sea area. It is expected that the mooring characteristics of the STS can be grasped by this result and contribute to the revision of the mooring safety assessment standard.

Through the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, South Korea is trying to support the "Building Project for Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Bunkering Ship," centered on the Korea Gas Corporation, while the Ministry of Maritime Af airs and Fisheries is pushing to construct an LNG bunkering terminal at Busan New Port. LNG bunkering ships are essential for supplying LNG fuel from the terminal to the ships, resulting in the need for safety operation procedures. Therefore, in this study, the stability of a coastal LNG bunkering ship operating from Busan New Port to the anchorage in Busan Port was assessed to investigate the need for operational procedures for coastal LNG bunkering ships. Seakeeping analysis of the LNG bunkering ship was performed for each significant wave height by combining the response amplitude operator from the ship motion analysis under the potential flow theory with the actual observed sea data for five years and Texel, Marsen, and Arsloe (TMA) spectrum suitable for the Busan coast. The results showed that the roll and horizontal acceleration were the main risks that affected the navigation seakeeping performance above a significance wave height of 2 m. The operational periods of the LNG bunkering ship ranged from 83.3% to 99.9% of the total observation period.

A thorough inventory of ship emissions, particularly ship's emission of in-port area is necessary to identify significant sources of exhaust gases such as NOx, SOx, PM, and CO₂ and trends in emission levels over time, and reduce their serious effects on the environment and human health. Therefore, the goal of this study is to assess the volume of emissions from ships in Mokpo port, which serves as a gateway to the southwest coast of Korea, using a bottom-up methodology and data from the automatic identification system (AIS) and the Korean Port Management Information System (Port-MIS). In this work, an analysis of ship movement utilizing AIS data and an actual set of data on ship specification were gathered. By examining ship movement using AIS data, We also proposed a new approach for identifying cruising/maneuvering mode. Finally, the results were classified by ship operating mode, by exhaust gas, by ship type, and by berth, which provides a thorough and in-depth analysis of the air pollution caused by ships in Mokpo port.
