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.

Dispersion of high temperature and high salinity water discharged from a desalination plant is numerically estimated to investigate its impact on marine environment. The plant is installed on a floating barge located in Jinhae Bay and takes 200 tons of seawater per day. Fifty tons of intake are changed into fresh water, while 150 tons of those are discharged as the water of 15℃ warmer and 1.33 times saltier than surrounding seawater. In this dispersion model, advection is described by two-dimensional tidal currents and turbulent diffusion is simulated by Monte Carlo technique. Decay of water temperature is modelled by heat exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean, while decay of water salinity is ignored. The distributions of temperature and salinity come to equilibrium when the dispersion model is run for 100 days for temperature and for 365 days for salinity, respectively. At equilibrium state the water temperature and salinity rise 0.01℃ and 0.001‰ higher than ambient seawater, respectively.

In this paper, the reduction of CO₂ gas emission and exhaust gas emission by using the shift of coastal transport from land transport for import-export container cargo was proposed. At first, the domestic CO₂ gas emission, exhaust gas emission and the transportation of import-export container cargo are investigated. And also, we investigated the reduction of CO₂ gas emission and exhaust gas emission by the shift of coastal transport from land transport for the transportation of import-export container cargo between Kyongin area and Pusan Port. Finally, the change of NOx gas emission due to the change of the share of coastal transportation and using the 320TEU container ship are investigated. The research results show that the shift of coastal transport from land transport was effective to reduce the CO₂ gas emission and exhaust gas emission.

Regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships are gradually being strengthened. EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Index) has been introduced in existing ships, and various studies are aimed at achieving the greenhouse gas emission reduction target are currently underway. In this study, we proposed a method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through reducing fuel oil consumption by applying a solar power generation system to a pure and truck carrier among existing ships engaged in international voyages. The proposed photovoltaic power generation system consists of a photovoltaic module, an energy storage system, and a power conversion device. To confirm applicability, the system was modeled through a power electronics program, and a simulation was performed. In addition, economic analysis was conducted to check the feasibility of application to real ships, and it was confirmed that significant results were derived in the economical aspect after about 11 years had elapsed.

해양에 투기된 폐기물의 시공간적인 분포와 변화과정은 해양 물리학적 확산과 이 동, 생물학적 흡수 및 변환과정, 화학적 반응 및 상태변화등 여러 과정이 복합적으로 작용하여 일여난다. 이러한 폐기물의 해양투기가 해양생태계 및 환경보전에 미치는 여 러 가지 영향은 이에 대한 규제 및 적절한 운용을 통하여 원활한 해양생태 및 환경을 유지할 수 있도록 최소화되어야 한다. 해양투기의 최적화를 위하여서는 첫째, 생태학 적 배제원칙(biological exclusion)이 최우선적으로 고려되어야 하고 둘째, 생태계 및 수산자원 보존을 위하여 원활한 해수교환 및 물질확산이 극대화된 투기장소의 입지 선 정(hydrographic option)이 매우 중요하다. 둘째 로는 적법한 투기행위 및 적절한 투 기장 운용을 위한 감독 및 감시체제의 확립이 필요하다. 현재 우리 나라의 해양 폐기 물 투기는 초기의 단계에 있으나 최근 점차 요구되는 인접 해양국가 간의는 지역환경 협의체 구성 및 국가간 환경 부담 비용을 고려할 때 공해상의 해양투기는 더 이상 국 내적 문제가 아니므로 보다 신중한 해양투기 활동 및 타당성의 국토가 필요하다. 황해 에 위치한 투기장의 경우 현재까지의 관련자료를 검토할 때 적정 투기 규모 및 투기장 입지 선정, 그리고 불법 폐기물 투기가능성의 미비점에 대한 보완책이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

In view of the numerous discussions on global environmental issues, policies have been implemented to limit emissions in the field of marine transport, which accounts for a major part of international trade. In this study, a ship's emissions were calculated by applying the engine load factor to determine the total quantity of emissions based on the ship's speed reduction. For ships entering and leaving the Busan North Port from 1 January to 31 December 2017, emissions were calculated and analyzed based on the ship's type and its speed in the reduced speed zone (RSZ), which was set to 20 nautical miles. The comparison of the total amount of emissions under all situations, such as cruising, maneuvering, and hotelling modes revealed that the vessels that generated the most emissions were container ships at 76.1 %, general cargo ships at 7.2 %, and passenger ships at 6.8 %. In the cruising and maneuvering modes, general cargo ships discharged a lesser amount of emission in comparison with passenger ships; however, in the hotelling mode, the general cargo ships discharged a larger amount of emission than passenger ships. The total emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOC), were 49.4 %, 45 %, 4 %, and 1.6 %, respectively. Furthermore, the amounts of emission were compared when ships navigated at their average service speed, 12, 10, and 8 knots in the RSZ, respectively. At 12 knots, the reduction in emissions was more than that of the ships navigating at their average service speed by 39 % in NOx, 40 % in VOC, 42 % in PM, and 38 % in Sox. At 10 knots, the emission reductions were 52 %, 54 %, 56 %, and 50 % in NOx, VOC, PM, and Sox, respectively. At 8 knots, the emission reductions were 62 %, 64 %, 67 %, and 59 % in NOx, VOC, PM, and Sox, respectively. As a result, the emissions were ef ectively reduced when there was a reduction in the ship's speed. Therefore, it is necessary to consider limiting the speed of ships entering and leaving the port to decrease the total quantity of emissions.

This study investigated and compared sediment properties and macrobenthic community structures within heated effluent plumes at the discharge areas of Kori Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) and Sinkori Nuclear Power Plant (SNPP) in Korea, which have different thermal effluent discharge systems. There were significant differences in sand, clay and organic carbon contents between sediments at the two discharge areas. Species richness and abundance of macrobenthos were higher at the SNPP discharge area than at that of the KNPP, although the values at both areas were comparable to previous studies in coastal areas of eastern Korea.

Marine Environment Protection Committee of the International Maritime Organization has decided to reinforce the NOx emission standards for ships passing an ECA(Emission Control Area) with Tier III standards from January 1, 2016. In this study, real-time measurements of the exhaust gas, cylinder pressure and fuel consumption were conducted at each load of a T/S Hanbada main engine of Korea Maritime and Ocean University, which is controlled by single injection and double post injection for reducing NOx emissions. The results showed that the quantity of CO2 and NOx increased in proportion to the engine load, whereas the CO concentration was inversely proportional to the engine load. In addition, double post injection decreased 10 % of P-max and reduced 25~30 % of the NOx emissions compared to single injection, whereas there was a trade-off relation, such as increase 3~5 % of SFOC (Specific Fuel Oil Consumption).

This study analyzes the impact of long-range transport of biomass burning emissions from northeastern China on the concentration of particulate matter of diameter less than 10 ㎛ (PM₁₀) in Korea using the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem). Korea was impacted by anthropogenic emissions from eastern China, dust storms from northern China and Mongolia, and biomass burning emissions from northeast China between April 4-and 7, 2020. The contributions of long-range PM₁₀ transport were calculated by separating biomass burning emissions from mixed air pollutants with anthropogenic emissions and dust storms using the zeroing-out method. Further, the radiation energy budget over land and sea around the Korean Peninsula was analyzed according to the distribution of biomass burning emissions. Based on the WRF-Chem simulation during April 5-6, 2020, the contribution of long-range transport of biomass burning emissions was calculated as 60% of the daily PM₁₀ average in Korea. The net heat flux around the Korean Peninsula was in a negative phase due to the influence of the large-scale biomass burning emissions. However, the contribution of biomass burning emissions was analyzed to be <45% during April 7-8, 2020, when the anthropogenic emissions from eastern China were added to biomass burning emissions, and PM₁₀ concentration increased compared with the concentration recorded during April 5-6, 2020 in Korea. Furthermore, the net heat flux around the Korean Peninsula increased to a positive phase with the decreasing influence of biomass burning emissions.
