The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been regulating emissions by making mandatory the compliance with institutions aimed at protecting air quality such as the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Tier III. Under the circumstances, one of the response measures considered to be the most feasible is the replacement of existing marine fuel with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The industry has been preemptively building infrastructure and developing and spreading engine technology to enable the use of LNG-fueled ships. The IMO, in turn, recently adopted the International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-Flash-Point Fuels (IGF Code) as an institutional measure. Thus, it is required to comply with regulations on safety-related design and systems focused on response against potential risk for LNG-fueled ships, in which low-flash-point fuel is handled in the engine room. Especially, the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Convention was amended accordingly. It has adopted the qualification and training requirements for seafarers who are to provide service aboard ships subject to the IGF Code exemplified by LNG-fueled ships. The expansion in the use of LNG-fueled ships and relevant facilities in fact is expected to increase demand for talents. Thus, the time is ripe to develop methods to set up appropriate STCW training courses for seafarers who board ships subject to the IGF Code. In this study, the STCW Convention and existing STCW training courses applied to seafarers offering service aboard ships subject to the IGF Code are reviewed. The results were reflected to propose ways to design new STCW training courses needed for ships subject to the IGF Code and to identify and improve insufficiencies of the STCW Convention in relation to the IGF Code.

The utilization of gas as ship fuel requires a new set of regulations by IMO and society of classification. Maritime Safety Committee(MSC) and the subcommittee Bulk-Liquids and Gases(BLG) in IMO developed "Interim Guidelines on Safety for Natural Gas-fueled Engine Installation in Ships(Res.MSC.285(86))" for the use of natural gas in internal combustion engine. According to the requirement of Res.MSC.285(86) for natural gas-fueled engine installations in ships, several parts of ships should follow safety criteria in terms of Fuel bunkering, Gas safe Machinery spaces, Gas Fuel Storage and etc. In this thesis, details of the IGF code shall be described and development of the IGF code in IMO shall be illustrated.

미래 친환경 선박 기술 중의 하나로 주목 받고 있는 연료전지 시스템의 선박 적용을 위해서 기술의 개발과 함께 필요한 것이 제도의 정비이다. 본 연구에서는 선박용 연료전지 개발동향, 연료전지시스템을 선박에 탑재하기위한 관련 국제기준으로 SOLAS와 IACS의 UR 및 UI을 검토하였고, IMO MEPC, IMO BLG 및 주요 선급 규정 등 연료전지 기준의 표준화 동향, 선박용 연료전지 기술기준의 개발시 고려되어야 할 사항 및 관련 제도의 국내도입을 위한 시사점까지 검토하였다. 현재 IMO에서 개발중인 IGF Code에는 연료전지 관련 부분이 포함되어, 본 규정 개발에 정부 및 국내 관련 기업체의 적극적인 참여가 필요하며 향후 IMO에서의 관련 규정개발 동향을 면밀하게 분석하고 적극적으로 대응할 필요가 있다.

A numerical investigation regarding local (${\mu}_L$) and story (${\mu}_S$) ductility demand evaluation of steel buildings with perimeter moment resisting frames (PMRF) and interior gravity frames (IGF), is conducted in this study. The interior connections are modeled, firstly as perfectly pinned (PP), and then as semi-rigid (SR). Three models used in the SAC steel project, representing steel buildings of low-, mid-, and high-rise, are considered. The story ductility reduction factor ($R_{{\mu}S}$) as well as the ratio ($Q_{GL}$) of $R_{{\mu}S}$ to ${\mu}_L$ are calculated. ${\mu}_L$ and ${\mu}_S$, and consequently structural damage, at the PMRF are significant reduced when the usually neglected effect of SR connections is considered; average reductions larger than 40% are observed implying that the behavior of the models with SR connections is superior and that the ductility detailing of the PMRF doesn't need to be so stringent when SR connections are considered. $R_{{\mu}S}$ is approximately constant through height for low-rise buildings, but for the others it tends to increase with the story number contradicting the same proportion reduction assumed in the Equivalent Static Lateral Method (ESLM). It is implicitly assumed in IBC Code that the overall ductility reduction factor for ductile moment resisting frames is about 4; the results of this study show that this value is non-conservative for low-rise buildings but conservative for mid- and high-rise buildings implying that the ESLM fails evaluating the inelastic interstory demands. If local ductility capacity is stated as the basis for design, a value of 0.4 for $Q_{GL}$ seems to be reasonable for low- and medium-rise buildings.
