The purpose of this paper is to develop a knowledge-based real-time decision support system to support decision makers for efficient berth operation of Inchon Port. In these days the berth operation problems have been many studied. The berth operation rules differ from port to port and the problem is highly dependent on natural geographical and operational environment of port. In Inchon Port the ship’s entrance into port and departure from port is extremely affected status of dock. In this paper we analyzed some effects of dock a specific character of Inchon Port with a real data of ship’s in Inchon Port. And reconstruct a previous expert’s knowledge of berth allocating problem in Inchon Port. Also the mechanism for the efficient berth operation has been studied by repeatedly dispatching in order to obtain a best effect of berth allocation, with real-time updated information for delay at service time of a specific berth and changing of a working-berth. The system is developed with graphic user interface(GUI) concept using user interactive approach. And this system will be provide decision support maker with an efficient and fast way to berth allocating and reduce wastes of time space and manpower in Inchon Port operation.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a knowledge-based real-time decision support system to support decision makers for efficient berth operation of Inchon Port. In these days, the efficient berth operation has been many studied. The berth operation rules differ from port to port and the problem is highly dependent on natural, geographical and operational environment of port. In Inchon Port, the ship's entrance into port and departure from port is extremely affected by the status of dock and berth because of capacity restriction. First, we analyzed the specific characteristics of Inchon Port such as dock based on the data of 1997. And then, we construct the database of experts knowledge for berth utilization. Finally, we build the real-time decision support system for the efficient berth operation of Inchon Port to make the better berth allocation in case of not only regular scheduling but also dynamic scheduling such as delay in berth operation and exchange of ship between berths. The DSS is developed with graphic user interface(GUI) concept to help the user determining user interactive updating of the port status. Then this DSS will be provide decision maker with an efficient and fast way to berth allocation, and reduce wastes of time, space, and manpower in Inchon Port operation.

Many Countries have made efforts to assist ships navigate accurately , safely and expeditiously for the safety control against increasing marine traffic , in their coastal waters. However, they are exposed in spite of these efforts,to risks of casulaties and marine polluation caused by traffic congestion when ships are navigating through waterways approaches to ports or harbors and in narrow fairways. Therefore, efficient control of VTS in Port is necessary nowadays to provide ships with necessary service , which interacts with shipping and organize the flow of traffic so as to maximize the efficiency of the port or harbor while minimizing the risk of accident and environmental pollution. Even though the navigation condition of ships is very inferior compared to other ports in Korea, such as the big difference between the ebb and flood tide, the frequent fog, the narrow fairway , the density of navigation traffic in Inchon Port is high and transportation quantity of dangerous cargoe increases gradually. In cosideration of the characteristics of natural circumstance and traffic circumstance the VTS established newly in Inchon port have to operate efficiently. The purpose of this study is to help efficient operation of VTS in Inchon port by accomplishing both the literature research and questionnaire survey. Questionnaire survey was read to the VTS personnel in Inchon Port and customer familiar to Inchon Port such as ship navigators, pilots, shipping companies and so on. Most of ship navigators who occupy half of the respondents are Korean Officer who had responded while they were calling at Inchon port. The conclusions and recommendations includes ; First, the service area should be extended over Designated area to provide the vessel with navigational assistance service regarding the information of traffic congestion area, fishing boat and small ship's activities. Second, the types of information service to be offered are ship's movement and weather condition inthe vicinity of the port and state of fairway in the approaching channel to thte fairway. Third, VTS personnel should be upgraded by the on-the-job training and continuous simulation training as well as supplement of the qualified personnel for VTS operation. Fourth , the Harbor Master System to be introduced for safe navigation and efficient port operation.

항만의 기능은 갈수록 다기능 복합화 되어가고 있으며 네트워크 중심지화 되어 가고 있다. 최근의 항만은 배후지 산업이 중요하고 글로벌 물류센터로서의 역할과 주요 산업의 부품 공급 기지로서 기능이 커지고 있고, 금융 중심지 역할도 커지고 있으며, 세계주요 은행의 집적화 기능, 24시간 활용성 있는 첨단 통신 네트워크가 뒷받침 되는 비즈니스를 가능하게하며 문화와 관광명소로서의 기능도 갖춰줘야 된다. 인천항은 이러한 여러 배후 산업 기반을 경쟁력 강화를 위한 전략으로 활용하고 산업의 지역혁신 체계구축과 수도권 지역의 각 산업의 지원과 발전을 위해서 인천항의 동아시아 및 수도권 물류 복합화, 네트워크화 중심지 전략이 필요하다. 서해안 벨트 및 동해안, 남해안 후발 항만의 도약은 인천항 입장에서는 분명히 위협 요인이며, 수도권 물류의 인천항 유도는 필요요인이고, 중국의 급속한 경제성장에 따른 물동량 증가는 인천 항의 기회 강화 요인이나 인천항은 항만경쟁의 특성상 현재의 인천항의 제반 어려운 여건을 극복하고 한시적인 기간 안에 추구 할 수밖에 없다.

Inchon Port is the second largest import-export port of Korea, and has the point at issue such as the excessive logistics cost because of the limits of handling capacity and the chronic demurrage. There are few research activities on the analysis and improvement of the whole port operation, because Inchon Port not only has the dual dock system and various facilities but also handles a various kind of cargo. The purpose of this paper is to develop the simulation program as a long-term strategic support tool, considering the dual dock system and the TU(Terminal Operation Company) system executed since March, 1997 in Inchon Port. The basic input parameters such as arrival intervals, cargo tons, service rates are analyzed and the probability density functions for these parameters are estimated. The main mechanism of simulation model is the discrete event-driven simulation and the next-event time advancing. The program is executed based on the knowledge base and database. From the simulation model, it is possible to estimate the demurrage status through analyzing various scenarios and to establish the long-term port strategic plan.

This paper is the on-site case study of the shaping of townscape of port towns in Korea. Inchon has been experienced the rapid urbanization after the opening of a port. Inchon is selected because of the relatively rapid process, the apparent event and influence, and the enough referneces of data about the landscape formation and transformation. As the value of historical landscape, it is very significant to study Inchon and the causes of change in townscape depend on the external element-the opening of a port, Japan colonial policy, economic progress, nationwide development. The main purpose of this study is scrutinized the process, the cause and effect, and the contents and the form of shaping of townscape. The result of the interpretation of landscape is never perfect but only a starting point. Finally this study will be applied to the pragmatic task as a basic tool which construct the desirable image of the city.

Being situated at the key point of northeast asia, the port of Inchon as an entrance to the captial city, Seoul is expected to play in marine transportation in Korean Pennisular on the verge of its reunification. In this thesis, inner-lock physical disstribution system of the port was analyzed, which treats more than 82% of total incoming and outgoing cargoes. The overall findings are as follows; 1. In thet viewpoint of physical distribution system of the port, it takes disadvantages of accessing to inner lock berth due to such natural restrictions as tides, passing the lock and so on. And insufficient port facilities as a whole, causes delay in quay-handling, transfer and storage, also facing with serious congestion in inland transport on the road. 2. It was revealed that the port facilities are insufficient yet in spite of its improved productivity by means of raising the effectiveness of port operation and of installing advanced cargo handling facilities. 3. In order to enhance the effectiveness of inner port physical distribution system , the improvement of lock facilities, expansionof port facilities and more effective terminal operating system are crucial. 4. To ensure the measures to solve the above problem, existent outer-lock ports such as Inchon Sourthern-port and Northern-port are necessary to be redeveloped more positively , otherwise a new port at outskirt of the city should be developed to ensure free connection to inland transportation.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a port simulation program for Inchon Port. The arrival and departure data from Inchon Port are analyzed, several probability density functions for the interval time and service time are estimated, and the berthing rules are constructed based on experts experiences. The port simulation program is written in visual basic considering the interarrival p.d.f., service rate p.d.f., berthing rules, and dual-dock system, and is used to analyze the effects of the changes in ship arrival rate and service rate upon the demurrage. It is expected that we can use the simulation results in order to prepare proper service level and to evaluate the appropriate investment strategy to be planned.
