Waterway design should prioritize appropriate channel width to ensure preferential safe passage for the arrival and departure of vessels. To calculate the minimum channel width required for safe passage a comprehensive review of several factors is required. These factors include vessel maneuverability, determined by vessel size, type and speed; environmental factors such as wind, tide, and wave action; human factors, including personal experience and operator judgment as well as marine traffic and navigation support facilities for decision making. However, the Korean channel width design standard is based only on vessel length, and requires improvement when compared with the standards of PIANC, USA, and Japan. This study aims to estimate the appropriate channel width required for one-way traffic in a straight channel, considering various vessel and environmental factors, using Fast Time Simulation (FTS). When the wind speed is 25 knots, with a current speed of 2 knots and a normal vessel speed of 10 knots FTS shows that a 150K GT Cruise Ship requires a minimum channel width of 0.67-0.91 the vessel length (L), whereas a 120K TEU Container Ship and a 300K DWT VLCC require 0.79-1.17 and 1.02-1.59, respectively. Such results can be used to calculate the minimum channel width required for safe passage as an improved Korean design standard.

Traffic risks in fairway and harbour area increase lately according to be a sharpe change of ship's size and speed. It becomes hot issue to design a fairway, which's width is important to lower traffic risk and ensure navigational safety. The current design making a fairway and width do not focus on maneuvering motion of a large ship, but traffic risks are clear on reflecting the design of fairway, specially on width. To contact with these problems, this research proposes how to determine fairway' width in consideration of traffic volume. it suggests several situations of marine traffic congestion as like narrow channel and harbour area. here uses 162 simulations in MTS Ver.1 developed. Acquired simulation's results, environmental stress dates, figure in a model that relates with required fairway' width and allowable traffic volume. In added, suggested model compares current design with an width.

To design ship channels is one of important factors for planning and developing a port. Bends in channels should be avoided if possible, but the channel should be widened, if channel bend is unavoidable, considering the swept path of a ship for safe passage. In this study, Variable Bumper Area(VBA) model is applied to determine the channel widths in bends. The result of this study shows that the width of the bend may be designed as nearly same size of that in straight channel in case that the angle of deflection is less than 30 degrees, and that of the bend with 60 degrees deflection should be widened based on the length of the largest ship using the channel and the angle of deflection.

To design ship channel is one of important factors for planning and developing a port. Bends in channel should be avoided if possible, but the channel should be widened, if channel bend is unavoided, to account widened path of a ship in bend for the safe passage of a ship. In this study, Variable Bumper Area(VBA) model is applied to determine ship channel width in bend and channel-bend geometry. The result of this study shows that the width of a channel in bend may be designed as wide as the width in straight lane provided the angle of deflection is less than 30 degree, should be widened for 60degree deflection based on the length of the largest ship using the channel and the angle of deflection.

항만 설계에 영향을 미치는 네가지 중요요인인 선박요인, 인간요인, 환경요인 및 항로표지요인들이 실제 항만 및 수로의 설계에 미치는 구체적인 영향들을 각 요인별로 분석하였다. 아울러 항만 및 수로 설계요소인 수심, 항로의 폭, 항로의 배치, 선회수역의 크기 및 부두의 배치 문제에 대한 분석을 기하였다. 그리고, 항만 및 수로의 설계 문제에 관한 최근의 연구결과들과 각국의 설계 Guideline들을 수집하여 특히, 항로의 폭, 항로의 배치 그리고 선회수역의 크기에 대해 그 내용을 비교하고 분석하였다. 이들 연구 결과들과 항만 설계기준들은 연구 방법과 설계 기준을 마련한 기구들에 따라 그 내용의 차이가 있음이 확인되었다. 따라서 이들 기준들은 항만 설계를 위한 1차 계획 수립시에만 활용되고 세부적인 설계는 1차 설계 후 항만 설계 시뮬레이션 기법을 통한 검정을 거쳐야만 안전한 항만의 설계 및 개발이 이루어질 수 있다는 것이 확인되었다.

최근 항만을 비롯한 연근해에 해상교량이 계획되어 다수의 해상교통안전진단이 수행되고 있다. 해상교량의 안전진단에서 핵심적인 요소는 해상교량의 형하고와 주경간장에 따른 항로 폭이 될 것이다. 해상교량의 형하고와 항로 폭을 결정하는데 있어 어떤 선박을 대상선박으로 하느냐, 대상선박의 제원을 어떻게 볼 것인가에 따라 해상교량의 시설한계가 크게 달라진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 수행되고 있는 해상교량에 대한 해상교통안전진단에서 이슈가 되고 있는 사례를 분석하였다. 첫째 삼산 연육교의 대상선박은 대상해역을 통항하지 않은 유도탄고속함(570톤)과 통항빈도가 거의 없는 예인선열이 이슈가 되고 있다. 둘째, 사양-와교의 대상선박은 통항한 적이 없는 여수해양경찰서가 보유한 최대선박인 640톤급 517함을 대상으로 하고 있다. 이는 해상 교량의 시설한계의 문제만이 아니라 해상교통안전진단 사업인가 안전진단 보고서 제출면제 사업인가에 대한 논란을 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 여건의 해상교량의 안전진단에 대한 안전진단대행기관의 의견을 수렴하여, 추후 통일된 선박 및 선박의 제원에 대한 통일된 기준안을 마련하여 안전진단시 통일된 기준을 사용하기를 제안한다.

A construction project of Incheon 2nd bridge, which is connected between the Incheon Song-Do New Town and the Incheon International Airport in Young-Jong-Do, have been proposed by the private capital in 1999. But the optimal span width in the bridge main span have not been decided in spite of the three investigations into the feasibility of ship's safe transit in this planned bridge. In this paper, we study the optimal main span width according to the traffic volume in the future traffic and the ship maneuverability of maximum size aspect. The result cf this study, Incheon 2nd bridge main span design is required to design two-way traffic scheme and 1,000m span width, which will satisfy the safe transit from the viewpoint of the traffic volume in the future traffic and the ship maneuverability maximum size.

A large part of shoaling of navigation channel surrounded by fine sand is caused by suspended sediment in non-equilibrium state. We develop a numerical model for predicting shoaling of navigation channel where concentration of suspended sediment in such state is accurately simulated. In this study, effects of channel geometry on the shoaling of the channel are investigated numerically. A composite slope of navigation channel is also proposed to reduce non-equilibrium property of suspended sediment. It is found that the composite slope can effectively reduce non-equilibrium property of suspended sediment and the amount of sediment deposited in the main channel.
