This study addresses how to plan purchasing and leasing of containers to satisfy the demand on containers. The problem can be further decomposed into the long-term planning and the short-term scheduling. The long-term plan specifies the composition of owned containers, long-term leasing containers, and short-term containers. The short-term plan considers the seasonality of demand and determines the time of leasing and the amount of the short-term and the long-term leasing containers. The length of the planning horizon is 10-20 years for the long-term planning, while it is one year for the short-term planning. The time unit is one year for the long-term planning, while it is one month for the short-term planning. This study discusses how to estimate the demand of containers and proposes deterministic models for scheduling purchasing and leasing of containers.

Recently, there has been a continuous imbalance between the demand and supply in the shipping industry. Consequently, shipping companies are implementing blank sailing to adjust the supply of vessels and achieve a balance between demand and supply. Blank sailing can create negative ripple effects by delaying cargo transportation, so this study uses Poisson regression analysis,

International logistics systems for cross-border trading aim not only to reduce costs and time, but also to maximize added value. For accuracy of shipping time, cost reduction, rapidity, and safety improvement, demand for Ro-Ro shipping as a global supply chain operating system has increased. To anticipate these demands, this study estimates the optimal demand and scale of Ro-Ro berth construction by analyzing shipping volumes between Korea and Japan. Based on Ro-Ro shipping speeds and distances between Korea and Japan, the shipping volume (container and general cargo) of Busan port is sorted into two separate zones. After analyzing the ratio of items that have great potential benefits from using Ro-Ro shipping, we estimate possible shipping volumes using Ro-Ro berth provision. The results reveal that two berths for 20,000t vessels are additionally required to accommodate the estimated volume. Results suggest the construction of an exclusive Ro-Ro berth in Busan port. This would not only accommodate the demand between Korea and Japan, but also provide a way to avoid the lean-to-one-side port policy.

LNG is a representative imported cargo at Incheon Port and has a relatively high contribution to the increase/decrease in overall cargo volume at Incheon Port. In addition, in the view point of nationwide, LNG is the one of the most important key resource to supply the gas and generate electricity. Thus, it is very essential to identify the factors that have impact on the demand fluctuation and build the appropriate forecasting model, which present the basic information to make balance between supply and demand of LNG and establish the plan for power generation. In this study, different to previous research based on macroscopic annual data, the weekly demand of LNG is converted from the cargo volume unloaded by LNG carriers. We have identified the periodicity and correlations among internal and external factors of demand variability. We have identified the input factors for predicting the LNG demand such as seasonality of weekly cargo volume, the peak power demand, and the reserved capacity of power supply. In addition, in order to predict LNG demand, considering the characteristics of the data, time series prediction with weekly LNG cargo volume as a dependent variable and prediction through an artificial neural network model were made, the suitability of the predictions was verified, and the optimal model was established through error comparison between performance and estimates.

Korea and China have maintained sea routes between two nations through the shipping conference which was established in May 1993. Due to this effort, the market of Korea-China car ferry on Yellow sea makes growth year by year. The car ferry business has shown fierce competition because it has huge impacts on regional and national level economy. In this respect, the aim of this research is to analyze the structural analysis for ports of Korea-China car ferry using Shift Effect(SE) method. As a results, passengers and cargo volumes of Incheon port continuously transfer to Pyeontaek and Gunsan port. Moreover, absolute growth rate of Incheon port do not reach the potential growth rate. The competitiveness power of Incheon port has lower position compared to Pyeontaek and Gunsan port. The cargo volumes of ports located on western coast of Korea have increased recently, however, passengers and cargo volumes of Incheon port have shown lower increasing rate compared to average of Korean western coast ports. For Incheon port, high value added cargoes which give large profit on port side, have to be attracted. Moreover, Incheon port has to become a specialized port.

Many countries are developing transportation technologies aimed at reducing environmental pollution and the environmental burden. For example, environmentally friendly transportation routes and methods are being used to improve inland waterways in Europe. Against this backdrop, a case study was conducted on special cargo (weight cargo, earth and sand, etc.) on Korea's Gyeong-In Ara Waterway, an inland waterway connecting the Han River and the West Sea, serving a distribution function. The results of the analysis showed that coastal shipping could be promoted using the waterway, including a positive synergy among environmental, economic, and social aspects. That is, by shifting from overland transportation to marine transportation, it is possible to reduce environmental pollution, ease traffic congestion, decrease traffic accidents, and shorten the licensing period for the weight cargo demand of the northern area of the Han River. In this respect, the Gyeong-in Ara Waterway could become an environmentally friendly transportation route, promoting coastal shipping in Korea. However, for this to occur, support systems such as subsidies for marine transportation and using the inland waterway are required, as happens in the EU. Furthermore, existing policies to promote coastal shipping should be improved and applied more broadly.

Generally, air freight forecasting model used to major factor GNP(GDP), Yield, Exchange rate, as its independent variables. We studied about the factors that affect to Air Freight in Korea, and we found six affective variables. Those are GNP, Exchange rate, Flight routes, Flight numbers, Sum of dollars Export and import. To find the relationship between the Air Freight and GNP, Exchange rate, Flight routes, Flight numbers, Sum of dollars Export and import we used regression analysis. Through the regression analysis, we found some problems in the model. There are collieneraities between the variables, so we took the variables selection model to choose the best affective variables of air cargo. We have defined the the Korean air freight forecasting model with two variables and forecast far the $1996{\sim}2010$ period were made by using this model.

산업이 발달함에 따라 대량의 화물을 빠르게 운반할 수 있는 해상운송수단의 수요가 증가하게 되고 이로 인하여 해상 선박 간 충돌사고가 빈번히 발생하게 되었다 선박 충돌은 주로 조선하는 사람들의 관습, 습관의 차이, 부주의, 판단오류 등의 이유로 발생한다. 연구자들은 선박 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 조선에 관련된 많은 부분을 지능화한 지능형 충돌회피시스템 개발에 노력을 기울이고 있다. 선박을 비롯한 자율운동체의 충돌방지 기법은 비행체, 수중운동체, 자율로봇 등 영역 특성을 달리하는 다양한 분야에서 연구되어오고 있다 기존 연구들의 충돌방지는 주로 장애물의 공간적 특성에 기반하고 있다. 이에 개체의 움직임을 예측하여 시간적 요소를 가미하면 더욱 향상된 충돌방지가 가능하다. 특히, 선박은 느린 운동 특성과 조선법, 규격화된 통신수단의 발달로 인하여 상대편 선박의 이동 예측이 용이하므로 이를 적용하여 보다 향상된 충돌방지가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 충돌회피기법의 과정에 예측을 추가한 예측기반 충돌회피모형을 제안하고 선박운항환경을 모의실험에 의하여 해당 모형 적용시 충돌회피 경로 산출의 안전성이 크게 개선됨을 보인다.
