Reinforced concrete structures under sever conditions such as marine structures, bridges and structures constructed with aggregates(dredged from sea), can be deteriorated from corrosion of the reinforcing bars. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-corrosive performance of coated steel using polymer cement slurry. Polymer cement slurry with various polymer dispersions and corrosion inhibiting agent were coated to the surface of bars, and tested for accelerated corrosion tests. Tests include immersion in NaCl 10% solution, chloride ion spray, autoclave cure, autoclave cure after carbonation, penetration of NaCl 10 % solution, carbonation after penetration of NaCl 10% solution. Test results, show that the anti-corrosive performace is considerably improved by using polymer cement slurry at surface of steel. And this trend is marked by adding of corrosion inhibiting agent. This difference of the anti-corrosive properties is hardly recognized according to types of polymer dispersions. The coated steel using polymer cement slurry will be improved to a great extent compared to those of plain steel when increasing content of chloride ion in cement concrete.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been seeking measures to prevent climate change caused by shipping and actively discussing the initial strategy of reducing ship greenhouse gas emissions adopted in 2018. Member states are proposing various reduction measures in the IMO's 5th International Working Group on the Reduction of Greenhouse-gas emissions. However, each member country's method of measuring impact assessment differs, making it impossible to objectively compare impact assessment by country. As such, various measures have been proposed by each country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and it is necessary to determine a standard impact assessment measurement method that can be applied to all countries before 2023, when IMO's greenhouse gas reduction strategy is implemented. Therefore, this study seeks to develop detailed guidelines for impact assessment to objectively compare the impact assessment results of ships' greenhouse gas reduction measures. Drawing detailed guidelines that can compare the effectiveness of each country's reduction strategies will enable the IMO leading marine environment GHG reduction.

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water & Sediments was adopted by consensus at a diplomatic conference of IMO at 2004. To prepare the Ballast Water Management Convention, fundamental technologies such as treatment system, type approval, risk assessment and various technical informations for formulation of the regulation for national strategy shall be developed. The information item of voyage and discharge of ship's ballast water are gathered by visiting vessel and agent at port. Using the 97 results by ships type characteristic analysis on the relation between loading/unloading and discharge/uptake of ballast water, the amounts of discharge/uptake of ballast water at each port and all of country in Korea are predicted. Hence, It is apparent that the uptake of ballast water is predicted to about 70 million ton in total of Busan, Incheon, Kwangyang and Ulsan ports at 2006 which is over 3 times than discharges.

In this Paper, We analysed the technical characteristics of a automatic identification system that will introduce in aviation and marine radio stations. IMO's Marine Safety Committee approved revision of chapter V of the Safety of Life at Sea(SOLAS) Convention in 73rd meeting. According to this, AIS will become a mandatory carriage requirement by 01 July 2002. AIS as a surveillance system continuously receives its own position from the GNSS and then repeatedly broadcasts it on a W:.u data link for avoiding traffic conflicts and possible disasters. VHF data link is organized so that a specified number of time slots make up a repeatable frame. Each radio station can autonomously allocate and deallocate slots within the frame using selection algorithm which is called SOTDMA(Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access). The results can be an aid in the continued of understanding technical characteristics for AIS as a broad surveillance system.

Several VHF bands for the use in analog communications has been changed to those for the use in new maritime digital communications by WRC-12. ITU-R M. 1842-1 has been also standardized, recommending the characteristics of maritime digital communication systems. In addition, a Shipborne Ad-hoc Network (SANET) has been introduced by IMO in order to provide ships, which cannot be connected to a shore directly, with maritime digital data exchange services with the help of ad-hoc communication. In this paper, several functionalities of the SANET, including channel access, route determination to a shore, and data exchange, are verified via sea trials. It is expected that the SANET can be applicable to collecting and analyzing maritime information, facilitating the entry and departure of vessels, and the communication infrastructure of e-navigation.

Sea level rise due to climate change is an increasing concern for the international community, and especially for coastal States. In case of regression of the coastal line or inundations of maritime features, including islands, the questions of whether coastal States are under an obligation to redraw their baseline and the outer limits of their maritime jurisdiction and of whether the existing maritime boundary treaties should be terminated are raised. This article reviews the arguments raised by the Small Island Developing States, International Law Association, and International Law Commission and suggests a solution within the current legal framework of the Law of the Sea through an interpretation of the existing provisions of the UNCLOS focusing on the legal issues relating to the Law of the Sea.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has recognized the risk of hull fouling and announced '2011 Guidelines for the control and management of ship's biofouling to minimize the transfer of invasive aquatic species'and is planning international regulations to enforce them in the future. In this study, to effectively respond to future international regulation, we introduce the case of leading countries related to management of hull fouling and also investigate environmental risk assessment techniques for in-water cleaning. Australia and New Zealand, the leading countries in hull fouling management, have established hull fouling regulations through biological and chemical risk assessment based on in-water cleaning scenarios. Most European countries without their government regulation have been found to perform in-water cleaning in accordance with the IMO's hull fouling regulations. In the Republic of Korea, there is no domestic law for hull fouling organisms, and only approximately 17 species of marine ecological disturbance organisms, are designated and managed under the Marine Ecosystem Law. Since in-water cleaning is accompanied by diffusion of alien species and release of chemical substances into aquatic environments, results from biological as well as chemical risk assessment are performed separately, and then evaluation of in-water cleaning permission is judged by combining these two results. Biological risk assessment created 40 codes of in-water cleaning scenarios, and calculated Risk Priority Number (RPN) scores based on key factors that affect intrusion of alien species during in-water cleaning. Chemical risk assessment was performed using the MAMPEC (Marine Antifoulant Model to Predict Environmental Concentrations), to determine PEC and PNEC values based on copper concentration released during in-water cleaning. Finally, if the PEC/PNEC ratio is >1, it means that chemical risk is high. Based on the assumption that the R/V EARDO ship performs in-water cleaning at Busan's Gamcheon Port, biological risk was estimated to be low due to the RPN value was <10,000, but the PEC/PNEC ratio was higher than 1, it was evaluated as impossible for in-water cleaning. Therefore, it will be necessary for the Republic of Korea to develop the in-water cleaning technology by referring to the case of leading countries and to establish domestic law of ship's hull fouling management, suitable for domestic harbors.

세계 해상 조난 및 안전제도(GMDSS)의 도입으로 해상에서의 조난통신 방식이 기존의 음성 전화에 의한 조난통신방식에서 디지털선택호출(DSC) 장치에 의한 조난통신 방식으로 변함에 따라 허위의 조난신호가 다량으로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 허위의 조난신호는 효율적인 수색구조에 막대한 영향을 미치고 있어 시급히 개선이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 국제해사기구에서는 허위 조난신호 경감을 위한 관련 결의서 및 권고안을 작성 유포하는 등 지난 10여 년 동안 많은 노력을 기울였으나 허위의 조난신호는 감소하고 있지 않다. 우리나라의 경우에도 구난무선국에 의해 접수된 조난신호 중 90% 이상이 허위 또는 미확인 신호로 판명되고 있어 심각한 상황을 나타내고 있다. 이러한 허위의 조난신호는 대부분 테스트 과정이나 사용자의 조작 실수에 의해 발신되는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 특히 디지털선택호출 장치에 의한 허위의 조난신호가 다량으로 발생함으로써 세계 해상 조난 및 안전제도의 정착에 많은 어려움을 야기하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 허위 조난신호 현황을 세부적으로 분석하고 허위의 조난신호가 다량으로 발생하고 있는 원인에 대하여 분석하였으며, 이러한 허위의 조난신호 경감을 위한 해결 방안을 제시하였다.
