This study estimates the port waiting cost of international trade ports in Korea by an opportunity cost approach. In the next step, we present a method to assess the levels of port services by the average waiting cost of ships derived from the results of the first step. Because the port waiting cost reflects the social cost, it is difficult to use as a service indicator even though it is the decision support information for a particular port facility expansion. The percentages of waiting ships and time also are insufficient indicators to reflect only the quantitative aspects by the time. However, the average waiting cost of ships in this study can be utilized as a service indicator to reflect waiting time and the loss of economic value simultaneously. It is also very useful information for a shipper and a carrier to select a port. Based on the average waiting cost of ships in 2007, it is analyzed in order of lowest service ports sequentially such as Pyeongtaek-Dangjin, Pohang, Donghae, and Samcheonpo. It is different from the sequential order of ports by the port waiting cost such as Pohang, Incheon, Gwangyang, Pyeongtak-Dangjin, and Ulsan. The port waiting cost is to a port authority as a key indicator what the average waiting cost of ships is to a port user as a useful indicator to evaluate the levels of port services.

컨테이너 터미널은 비용 절감과 생산성 향상을 위해 무인 야드 크레인을 운영하고 있다. 그러나 무인 야드 크레인이 상하차 작업을 안전하고 원활하게 수행하기 위해서는 작업자의 원격 통제가 필요하다. 상하차 작업은 다수의 야드 크레인에게 불규칙적으로 발생하며 다수의 원격 통제 작업자들은 교대로 작업 요청을 배정받아 원격 작업을 수행한다. 본 연구는 상하차 작업의 적정 서비스 수준을 고려하여 작업인력 비용과 대기비용의 합을 최소화하는 인력 산정 방법을 다루었다. 대기이론을 이용하여 원격작업 인력과 비용 요소의 변화에 따른 작업대기를 분석하였다.

This paper primarily deals with a decision-making for determining the number of voyages in each ship size under a specific port structure in order to minimize the total transport cost consisting of transport cost at sea, queuing cost in port, and inventory cost in yard. As a result of computer simulation using queuing model characterized by inter-arrival time distribution, we were able to find out some combination of voyage numbers of 3 ship-size(50,000-ton, 100,000-ton, and 200,000-ton), where the total transport cost can be minimized under a specific port structure. The simulation model also allows us to figure out any trade-off relationship among sea transport cost, queuing cost in port, and inventory cost in yard. Put it differently, an attempt to reduce the sea transport cost by increasing the number of voyages of the largest ship size, the transport cost incurred in both port and yard is hypothesized to be increased and vice versa. Consequently, Port managers are required to adjust the number of annual number of voyages allocated in each ship size, put into the sea lines for importing raw materials, in order to optimize the transport costs incurred under the specific port system. We may consider a net present value(NPV) model for performing an economic feasibility analysis on port investment project. If a total discounted net benefit, including cost savings, exceeds the initial investment for an additional berth construction, then we accept the port investment project. Otherwise, we reject the proposed port investment plan.

최근 항만에서 기인한 대기오염물질에 대한 심각성이 고조되고 있다. 본 연구는 부산항 (북항, 감천항 및 다대포항)을 대상으로 6월 한달 간의 항내에서 발생하는 대기오염물질 배출량을 추정하였다. 신뢰성 있는 대기오염물질 배출량 추정을 위하여 AIS(Automatic Identification System) 데이터를 기반으로 한 계산 방신인 Bottom-up 추정 방식을 활용하였으며 연료소모총량과 연료소비의 결과로서 발생한 대기오염물질 총량을 함께 분석하였다. 또한, 추정 배기가스 량을 이용하여 부산항에서의 환경 비용을 계산하였다.

This paper mainly deals with the appropriation of ship voyage allocation, using a heuristic regression model, in order to reduce total costs incurred in port, yard and at sea under the specific port condition. Because of different behavior of costs incurred in port, yard and at sea, an effort to minimize these costs by adjusting the number of voyages for three ship classes(50,000, 100,000, and 150,000-ton) should be made. For instance, if the port managers attempt to reduce the sea transport cost by increasing the annual allocated number of ship voyages classed 150,000-ton for economies of scale, they have no choice but to suffer a significant increase in queueing cost due to port congestion. To put it differently, there are trade-off relationships among the costs incurred in port, yard, and at sea. We utilized a computer simulation result to perform a couple of regression analyses in order to figure out the appropriate range of allocated number of voyages of each ship class using a heuristic approach. The detailed analytical results will be shown at the main paper. We also suggested a net present value(NPV) model to make a proper investment decision for an additional berth of 200,000-ton class that alleviates port congestion and reduces transport cost incurred both in port and at sea.

Due to the construction of Incheon Grand Bridge, there is driven a necessity for rearranging the function of Inner Port with the development of Outer South Port. In this paper, I'd like to simulate the port operation levels of Lock Gate in Inner Port with estimating the traffic volumes of 2011 and 2015, which will reveal the Demurrage Cost and the Accumulation Cost of Freight in Inner Port. Finally I will evaluate the economic movement effects of the container ship's calling from Inner port to South Port/Outer South Port from 2011 to 2015. The results are as followings ; (1) The average utilization of Lock Gates are reduced by $7\sim8$ percentage point. (2) The mean queueing value are saved by 25 percentage point. (3) The Demurrage Cost and the Accumulation Cost of Freight except Lock Gate charges and the Benefit of Routeing Reduction are saved about 800 million Won annually.

Port of Busan is Korea's largest trading port processing over 18,000 TEU a year. This rapid growth causes air pollution problems in Busan. Ship emissions are significant air pollution sources and port area is relatively close to the business district, therefore it may have serious effects to the health of local people and environment. In this study, ship emissions are estimated, especially on hotelling large vessels. As a result, Port of Busan has 50,686, 48,842 ship calls and 2,343,037 and 2,297,118 tons of ship emissions in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Also, the environmental cost in Port of Busan is approximately 1.2 trillion won per year. This study emphasizes the necessity of ship emissions regulation, hence, it is expected to make a significant contribution in setting up ship emission management system.

Port Simulation 문제는 항만의 운영실태를 분석하는데 있어서 크게 두 가지 측면에서 연구되어 왔다. 하나는 항만의 운영효율을 분석하기 위한 연구이고, 다른 하나는 항만과 인근 도시간의 물류시스템과 관련된 연구로 분류할 수 있다. 인천항은 ‘96년도 체선율이 32.3%로 국내 다른 항만과 비교해 보면 가장 심각한 체선실태를 보이고 있으며 이에 따른 물류비용을 포함한 추가비용의 손실이 크다. 따라서 기존의 연구에서 인천항의 체선현황을 분석하고 개선방안을 제시하는 Simulation Model이 연구되었고, 이를 이용한 의사결정지원시스템을 개발해서 활용방안을 모색중이다. 그러나, 이들 연구에서는 아직 실제 운영하고 있는 연속관리부분에 대해서는 고려하지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 연구를 검토하고 특히 선박의 대기시간을 줄이고 선석의 활용도를 높일 수 있는 연속관리 부분을 집중 연구 이를 시스템에 반영하였다. 향후 연속적인 선석접안을 적용하여 얻은 결과를 기존의 Port Simulation 이나 선석운영 의사결정 지원시스템 개발에 활용하려 한다.
